   - Additional Authentication Handlers: SPNEGO, NTLM, RADIUS
   - Built using Maven 2
   - Improved Internationalization: German, Chinese, Japanese, and
   Swedish
   - Optional Services Management Application (including Pseudo-anonymous
   support)
   - Support for Google Apps for Education / Integration with Google
   Accounts
   - Support for SAML 1.1 (attribute passing)
   - Support for Attributes / Integration with JA-SIG PersonDirectory
   - OpenID Identity Provider
   - Introduction of Single Sign Out protocol (currently, no client
