Key highlights include a new standalone CLI (`npx auth`), a remote MCP auth client, a full OAuth 2.1 Provider plugin with OIDC support, Electron desktop integration, i18n with typed error codes, production-ready SSO with SAML Single Logout, non-destructive secret key rotation, Cloudflare D1 support, database adapter extraction into separate packages, seat-based Stripe billing, and a test utilities plugin. Security improvements cover OTP race condition fixes, stricter rate limits, SAML hardening, and user enumeration prevention. Several breaking changes include deprecated API removal, API key plugin extraction, and changes to after-hook execution timing. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
