jjwt v0.8.0 Release Notes

  • ๐Ÿš€ This is a minor feature enhancement, dependency version update and build update release. We switched from Jacoco to โœ… OpenClover as OpenClover delivers a higher quality of test metrics. As an interim measure, we introduced a new โšก๏ธ repository that has an updated version of the coveralls-maven-plugin which includes support for Clover reporting to ๐Ÿš€ Coveralls. Once this change has been merged and released to the official coveralls-maven-plugin on maven central, ๐Ÿš€ this repository will be removed. The following dependencies were updated to the latest release version: maven ๐Ÿš€ compiler, maven enforcer, maven failsafe, maven release, maven scm provider, maven bundle, maven gpg, maven source, โฌ†๏ธ maven javadoc, jackson, bouncy castle, groovy, logback and powermock. Of significance, is the upgrade for jackson as ๐Ÿš€ a security issue was addressed in its latest release.

    ๐Ÿš€ An addClaims method is added to the JwtBuilder interface in this release. It adds all given name/value pairs to ๐Ÿ›ฐ the JSON Claims in the payload.

    โž• Additional tests were added to improve overall test coverage.
