Hi Scott As we're now post-1.0.0, it's important that we follow the APR versioning guidelines which state that patch releases (ie 1.0.x) should be binary and source compatible with previous releases in that series. In other words, people should be able to simply "drop in" the new JAR and it work. Just looking at the revision history for SiteminderAuthenticationProvider and its corresponding tests, they seem to be new classes added 27 July 2006. As such, I imagine that users employing the 1.0.1 SiteMinder integration will need to change their configuration to use these new classes, and in doing so not benefit from a "drop in" replacement. I don't think SiteMinder usage with Acegi Security is extremely widespread, so we could relax the rules a little if there is good reason to include the SEC-319 changes in 1.0.2. The conservative choice would be to defer until 1.1.0, though (assuming I haven't misunderstood the backward compatibility issue - if the existing integration continues to work in 1.0.2, I have no problem at all with the refactoring being included so people have the choice of using it if they wish).
