[keycloak-dev] Keycloak 4.0.0.Beta1 is out

[Stian Thorgersen]

I'm very pleased to announce the first release of Keycloak 4!

To download the release go to the Keycloak homepage
<http://www.keycloak.org/downloads>.
HighlightsBrand new login pages

The login pages have received a brand new look. They now look much more
modern and clean!
Themes and Theme Resources

It's now possible to hot-deploy themes to Keycloak through a regular
provider deployment. We've also added support for theme resources. Theme
resources allows adding additional templates and resources without creating
a theme. Perfect for custom authenticators that require additional pages
added to the authentication flow.

We've also added support to override the theme for specific clients. If
that doesn't cover your needs, then there's a new Theme Selector SPI that
allows you to implement custom logic to select the theme.
Native promise support to keycloak.js

The JavaScript adapter now supports native promises. Of course it still has
support for the old style promises as well. Both can be used
interchangeably.
Edit links in documentation

To make it easier to contribute changes to the documentation we have added
links to all sections of the documentation. This brings you straight to the
GitHub editor for the relevant AsciiDoctor file. There's also a quick link
to report an issue on a specific page that will include the relevant page
in the description.
HTTPS support on keycloak.org

Thanks to GitHub pages and Let's Encrypt there's finally HTTPS on
keycloak.org. About time?
