v2.0.1

v2.0.0 is a major backwards incompatible release that changes the Web eID authentication token format. In version 1, the authentication token was in the OpenID X509 ID Token (JWT) format in order to be compatible with the standard OpenID Connect ID Token specification. The JWT format was found out to be undesirable, as it implies that the claims presented in the Web eID authentication token can be trusted and processed, while they actually cannot be trusted. Therefore a custom JSON-based format was adopted for the Web eID authentication token in version 2.

Full list of changes is in the v2.0.0 and v2.0.1 milestone.

The release binaries are available from web-eid.eu.
