Duende IdentityServer v7 for .NET 8

Today marks the release of .NET 8. This is the new long-term support version of .NET and thus the perfect foundation for our next major version of IdentityServer.

For this release we focused on three big feature areas

• compatibility and optimisations for .NET 8
• adding support for RFC 9126 aka pushed authorization requests (PAR)
• adding OpenTelemetry metrics

We are publishing a preview of v7 today and are planning to release the final version in early January. Please give it a try and leave us feedback on the support forums.

You can find the more detailed release notes here and check out the preview of the v7 documentation here.

We will publish a couple more feature focus posts in the coming week. Stay tuned!
