Soulwing CAS Client version 0.5
Release Announcment
7 Jan 2007

Soulwing CAS Client version 0.5 has been released.  The new release
of the client brings several enhancements and bug fixes.

Enhancements

* Container-Managed CAS for Tomcat.  Using components provided with
the client, the popular Tomcat servlet container can be customized
to provide CAS authentication support in the container itself,
rather than requiring each application to include detailed CAS
filter configuration.  This allows web applications to use standard
security mechanisms of the Servlet 2.4 specification, combining CAS
authentication with the authorization support provided by Tomcat
realms.  See http://www.soulwing.org/tomcat-cas.jsp for details

* Support for combined anonymous access and CAS-authenticated access
when using the client with Atlassian Confluence.  You can configure
the client's filters in Confluence so that anonymous access is
allowed until the user clicks the Log In link.  Log In authentication
is performed using CAS.  See
http://www.soulwing.org/confluence-cas-anonymous-access.jsp for
details

* Improved handling of CAS server responses that do not conform to
the CAS protocol.

* Documentation of additional features supported by the client at
http://www.soulwing.org/faq.jsp
