Loader performance improvements

New indexes and loader jobs run in threads.

AWS SNS/SQS and encryption for ESB

New Features in v2.2.0

New UI

There is a new more usable UI which makes Grouper easy to use by end users and administrators. It co-exists with the legacy Admin UI and the Lite UIs.

Legacy attribute migration

Migrate from legacy attributes to the new attribute framework in a transparent way.  The API, WS, and UI work similar as they did before.

SCIM events

SCIM events can be sent from Grouper to keep SCIM compatible systems in sync with Grouper.

Improved configuration

Grouper config files can have hierarchical overlays to make Grouper easier to deploy and upgrade across multiple environments.

Unix GID management

Grouper objects now have a unique integer ID which can be used in GID management

Services in Grouper

Ability to tag folders in Grouper (via the attribute framework) so that folders, groups, permissions can be grouped into a "service".  The API/UI/WS can filter search results based on the service to make it easier for users to perform tasks in Grouper.

For more information about upcoming plans, see the Grouper+Product+Roadmap.

Many other fixes and improvements were also made to all components of the Grouper Toolkit: Grouper API, Administrative & Lite UIs, Grouper Web Services, Grouper Client, Grouper Shell, Grouper Loader, PSP, and the Subject API.
