Microsoft Identity Web now sends basic telemetry data (sku and version) to AAD and AAD B2C. See issue #327 for details.
Implement TokenAcquisitionOptions which enable developers to customize the token aquisition integration with MSAL .NET. Current options available are extra query parameters, force refresh, and correlation id. See issues #561, #494, and #532.
Microsoft Identity Web now uses a scoped service for TokenAcquisitionServices when calling Microsoft Graph. Previously a Singleton was used and this caused an infinite loop in Blazor ser_ver applications, as Blazor requires scoped services. See issues #573 and #531 for details.
Now developers can specify the client secret in the web API scenario either in Microsoft Identity Options or in the Confidential Client Application Options, previously it had to be set in both. See issue #536 for details.
Web apps calling web APIs no longer require a response_type of id_token, so it no longer needs to be checked in the AAD portal app registration. See issue #589.
Remove obsolete attributes for the 1.0.0 (GA) version. See issue #584 for details.
ITokenAcquisition now exposes the AuthenticationResult for the user from MSAL. See issue #543 for details.

See issue #378 and the wiki for more information on the new API.
AddInMemoryTokenCaches method now accepts an optional MsalMemoryTokenCacheOptions delegate parameter. See issue for details: #426.
GetAccessTokenForAppAsync method now accepts an optional tenant parameter, which allows applications authorized in multiple tenants to request tokens. See issue for details: #413.
Microsoft Identity Web now provides methods that simplify calling Microsoft Graph and any downstream APIs. See wiki and issues for details: #403, #427.
Project templates, samples, and dev apps were updated to use the new public API. See issues for details: #453, #418.
Previously domain hint was added to the request only if the login hint was present also. The presence of domain and login hints is now validated separately. See issue for details: #415.
Fixed a NullReferenceException on NavigationManager that occurred on Blazor server with Azure SignalR when using a pre-rendering mode. See issue for details: #437.
ReplyForbiddenWithWwwAuthenticateHeaderAsync method in ITokenAcquisition now has an additional optional HttpResponse parameter, which can be provided in cases when the current HttpContext is null. See issue for details: #414.
Enable Micorosoft.Identity.Web to work with any version of .NET 5.0 by setting dependencies version to 5.0.0-* for JwtBearer and OpenIdConnect dependencies**. See issue for details: #380.
The AadIssuerValidator class is now public. See issue for details: #332.
Starting in 0.2.1-preview, a MicrosoftIdentityWebChallengeUserException was added, but customers might use the MsalUiRequiredException, for instance by the Graph SDK. See issue for details: #398.
In a multi-tenant scenario, when calling a downstream API, Microsoft Identity Web was not returning the token for the specific tenant ID. The correct token based on the tenant, if specified, is returned. See issues for details: #344 and MSAL .NET.
When the scopes provided are invalid, an exception will be thrown in addition to recording a response back to the controller. This ensures the controller does not continue processing as authentication is not possible. See issue for details: #389.
When calling a downstream web API, Microsoft Identity Web now checks the token from the HttpContext instead of doing an acquire token silent call. This will save on cycles as MSAL .NET already does the necessary cache look up. See issue for details: #381.
When validating the application roles, only the first role claim was used, which would result in a failure with multiple roles. Microsoft Identity Web now uses all the roles and throws an exception if the roles are invalid. See issue for details: #374.
A more descriptive exception is thrown when a B2C issuer claim contains tfp. See wiki and issue for details: #274.
Microsoft Identity Web now supports the ComponentsWebAssembly-CSharp project templates from ASP.NET Core. See issue for details: #320.
Microsoft Identity Web now supports the BlazorServerWeb-CSharp project templates from ASP .NET Core. See issue for details: #319.
When using Azure AD B2C, developers can now specify which policy/user flow to use to acquire the token. Microsoft Identity Web now exposes a user flow parameter, which allows developers to specify the policy/user flow to use with looking for tokens in the cache. See issue for details: #27.
Fixes NullReferenceException when acquiring a user token because of a null HttpContext. This applies to scenarios like server-side Blazor apps, long-running processes, daemon apps. See issues for details: #157, #10, #38.
When encountering a challenge from a Blazor page, Microsoft Identity Web could not handle the challenge in the same way it does for an MVC or Razor page. The challenge from a Blazor page is now handled corrected. See issue for details: #360.
When acquiring a token for a user in a server side Blazor app, a null reference exception was encountered because the CurrentHttpContext was null. Microsoft Identity Web now uses a Blazor specific class AuthenticationStateProvider to determine the current user. See issue for details: #157.
In the templates, CallWebApi is an async method and now named accordingly, CallWebApiAsync. See issue for details: #357.
Microsoft Identity Web now creates a HttpRequestMessage to append the authorization header with the bearer token. See issue for details: 350.
In the case of no authentication, the templates no longer support the usage of --call-graph and --call-webapi-url. See issue for details: 337.
Now that Microsoft Identity Web can specify the AAD B2C tokens by user flow, the correct method, GetAccountAsync() can be called for confidential clients. See issue for details: #295.
Microsoft Identity Web has error and log messages as constants. See issue for details: #261.

Fixes to the MsalSessionTokenCacheProvider, such as removing the static lock object and removing the session commit. See issue for details.
In the AccountController, Microsoft Identity Web now uses IOptions instead of IOptionsMonitor, for consistency. See issue for details.
Microsoft Identity Web no longer calls the BuildServiceProvider in the configuration methods and uses a more appropriate Configure overload that provides the required IServiceProvider instance. See issue for details.
Microsoft Identity Web now uses the SuggestedCacheKey returned in the TokenCacheNotificationArgs from MSAL to determine the correct cache key. This enables the removal of several lines of code and the use of the HttpContext.User. See issue 235, 248, 273, and 222 for details.
Microsoft Identity Web now retrieves the client_info data directly from the protocol message. See issue for more details.
Microsoft Identity Web supports certificates. The developer can now use client and token decryption certificates, which can be retrieved from a variety of sources, like Azure Key Vault, certificate store, a Base54 encoded string, and more. The location of the certificate can be specified in a configuration file or programmatically. See issue and wiki for more details.
Microsoft Identity Web now allows specifying if the x5c claim (the public key of the certificate) should be sent to the STS. Sending the x5c enables easy certificate rollover. To enable this behavior set the SendX5C property in the configuration file. See issue for more details.
Microsoft Identity Web provides an option to force redirect URIs to use the HTTPS scheme, which can be useful in certain scenarios, like app deployment in a container. To enable this behavior set ForceHttpsRedirectUris property in the configuration file. See issue for more details.
Microsoft Identity Web uses System.Text.Json namespace instead of Newtonsoft.Json for working with JSON. See issue for more details.
The documentation now correctly specifies that ClaimsPrincipalExtensions.GetNameIdentifierId returns a uid claim value. See issue for more details.
New Features: Microsoft Identity Web provides an option to specify if the token acquisition service should be a singleton. See issue for more details.
Bug Fixes:
When logging in with an unauthorized account, the user was redirected to /Account/AccessDenied which did not exist. Microsoft Identity Web UI now properly sets the path on the scheme with the same name. See issue for more details.
In the context of a guest account, Microsoft Identity Web used the loginHint to determine the guest account for accessing the MSAL .NET cache. Now, Microsoft Identity Web retrieves user_info from the authorization server and is able to determine the unique object identifier for guest accounts. See issue for more details.
New Features:
Microsoft Identity Web now allows developers to not pass any scope value in AddWebAppCallsProtectedWebApi. See issue for more details.
When working with containers or reverse proxies, being able to specify the redirectUri and postLogoutRedirectUri is important. Microsoft Identity Web now allows the setting of the RedirectUri and PostLogoutRedirectUri as part of the MicrosoftIdentityOptions. See Issue for more details.
Bug Fixes: The AddProtectedWebApiCallsProtectedWebApi method registers an event handler for OnTokenValidated without preserving any existing registered event handlers. Now events are chained correctly. See issue for details.
Depending on the endpoint, v1.0 or v2.0, and if the application is B2C or not, the default format of the aud value in the token will be different. Microsoft Identity Web now looks at these parameters to validate the audience.
New Features: Microsoft Identity Web now uses an IHttpClientFactory to implement resilient HTTP requests. The ASP.NET Core IHttpClientFactory manages the pooling and lifetime of the underlying HttpClientMessageHandler instances, which avoids port exhaustion and common DNS problems that occur when manually managing HttpClient lifetimes. More details on this feature here.
Bug Fixes: Performance improvement: AadIssuerValidator class now caches the authority aliases under the correct cache key. See issue for more details.
When not including the ClientSecret in appsettings.json, a null reference exception was thrown when acquiring the authorization code with MSAL.NET. Microsoft Identity Web now checks all the required options and responds with actionable error messages if any are missing. See issue for more details.
New Features: Microsoft Identity Web now surfaces the ClaimConstants class. This allows developers to build a unique ClaimsPrincipal. See issue for more details
