The newly released FusionAuth version 1.18, launched in July 2020, introduces several enhancements, primarily focusing on bug fixes and user interface improvements while also adding new features for users on paid plans. Noteworthy additions include advanced registration forms, allowing for flexible and customizable registration processes without requiring coding, and support for LDAP integration through a feature called Connectors, which enables authentication against external systems. This version also addresses over ten bugs and resolves various GitHub issues, including changes to JWT claims and refresh tokens. A significant data migration is part of the update, suggesting users with large datasets test the upgrade process beforehand. FusionAuth provides resources such as an upgrade guide and support for licensed plan users to assist with the transition to this new version.
