On behalf of the community, I’m pleased to announce the release of Spring Security 5.5.0-RC1!

In addition to dependency upgrades, bug fixes, and minor enhancements, the release candidate contains a few noteworthy changes:

• JWT client authentication support for OAuth 2.0 clients

• JWT bearer authorization grant support for OAuth 2.0 clients

• AuthorizationManager, a new authorization API for filter security

• Kotlin coroutine support for reactive method security

• OpenSAML 4 support

This release candidate is a good opportunity to give feedback before the actual GA release in mid-May. We look forward to hearing from you.

You can find the complete details in the release notes.
