Shibboleth Developers

We're sorry if you receive duplicates of this  message. We've sent it 
to multiple lists, in order to ensure that the entire Shibboleth 
community receives this announcement.]

The Shibboleth team is pleased to announce the availability of 
Release 2.0 of the Shibboleth System. This new release contains many 
improvements and enhancements. An announcement, including a brief 
description of the new features, is available at 
http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/shib-v2.0.html . Shibboleth continues 
to be offered under the industry-standard Apache 2.0 license.

This new version will fully interoperate with the previous 1.3 
version.  However, the new version does contain a number of important 
bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as significant new 
functionality. We would recommend that sites running older versions 
upgrade to 2.0 as soon as their schedule allows.

Shibboleth is an Open Source project, and we don't guarantee support. 
However, if you encounter problems, first look on the Shibboleth 2 
Wiki ( https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/Home ) for an 
answer to your question. If you don't find an answer, join the 
Shibboleth-Users AT Internet2 DOT edu mailing list(see 
http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/support.html#lists ), and post a 
description of your problem; its very likely someone will answer.

If you discover a bug, please post it to our Jira based repository ( 
https://bugs.internet2.edu/), in either Shibboleth IdP 2 - Java, 
Shibboleth SP - C++ , or Shibboleth Discovery Service - Java.

Lastly, a BIG thank you to the people who helped us test this 
version, and improve the quality of the overall package, the install 
process, and the documentation.
