We are very happy to announce the 0.4 release of ORY Kratos with 163 commits and 817 changed files with 52,681 additions and 9,876 deletions.
There have been many improvements and bugfixes merged. The biggest changes are:
1. Account recovery ("reset password") has been implemented.
2. Documentation has been improved with easier to understand examples - currently only for account recovery so let us know what you think!
3. The configuration has been simplified a lot. It is now much easier to enable account recovery and email verification. This is a breaking change - please read the breaking changes section with care!
4. The Identity Traits JSON Schema has been renamed to the Identity JSON Schema. This is a breaking change - please read the breaking changes section with care!
5. `prompt=login` has been renamed to `refresh=true`. This is a breaking change - please read the breaking changes section with care!
6. We have reworked how (error) messages are returned. They now include an ID and all the parameters required for translating and customizing UI messages. This is a breaking change - please read the breaking changes section with care!
7. Instead of keeping track of `update_successful` with booleans, flows (e.g. the settings flow) that have more than one state now include a state machine. This is a breaking change - please read the breaking changes section with care!
8. Tons of tests have been added.
9. We have reworked and fully tested the migration pipeline to prevent breaking schema changes in future versions.
10. ORY Kratos now supports login with Azure AD and the Microsoft Identity Platform.
