The WSO2 Identity Server team is pleased to announce the release of WSO2
Identity Server version 5.8.0.

The WSO2 Identity Server is a uniquely extensible, open source IAM product
optimized for identity federation and SSO with comprehensive support for
adaptive and strong authentication. It supports a wide array of
authentication protocols such as SAML 2.0 Web SSO, OAuth 2.0/1.0a, OpenID
Connect, and WS-Federation Passive. It supports role based authorization
and fine grained authorization with XACML 2.0/3.0 while inbound/outbound
provisioning is supported through SCIM and SPML.

WSO2 Identity Server is developed on top of the revolutionary WSO2 Carbon
platform, an OSGi based framework that provides seamless modularity to your
SOA solution via componentization.

All the major features have been developed as pluggable Carbon components.
