Release Notes for Open Liberty 2021 on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Abstract
Chapter 1. Features
In 21.0.0.3, we have a milestone update to the MicroProfile feature with a major version increase to 4.0. This includes updates to all 8 MicroProfile components: Config, Fault Tolerance, Health, JWT RBAC, Metrics, Open API, Open Tracing and Rest Client. To utilize these updated components, run your app with the latest version of Open Liberty.
If you’re feeling curious about what’s coming soon in Open Liberty, take a look at the 'beta status' features in the latest development builds, for example LDAP connection support for Kerberos authentication is now available in the Open Liberty 21.0.0.4-beta release.
