Features

• IdP: Added support for Duende IdentityServer v6
• SP: Added support for .NET 6
• IdP & SP: Added support for HTTP Artifact binding, which uses a direct server-to-server connection to exchange SAML messages. HTTP Artifact binding can now be used to send and receive all SAML message types. You can read more on this feature in our article: Improving SAML SSO Security Using HTTP Artifact Binding
