Upgrade notes for SimpleSAMLphp 1.18

The minimum PHP version required is now PHP 5.6.

Deprecations

• The use of the PHP memcache extension was deprecated in favour of memcached . In order to keep using memcache functionality you have to move to the PHP memcached extension, which is available from PECL; see memcached . The former is considered abandoned and it's safe use can no longer be guaranteed.

  There are a few options here:

  • Depending on your distribution, the package may just be available for you to install
  • You could use the package from the REMI repository if you're on RHEL.
  • Download the source from memcached and compile the source as a PHP-extension manually.

• Support for SAML1.1 / Shibboleth 1.3 will be discontinued in a future release.

• The class SimpleSAML\Auth\TimeLimitedToken is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release If your custom module relies on this class, be sure to make a copy into your repository and make sure to also copy the unit tests that come along.
• Setting privacypolicy in metadata files will be removed in a future release. It was only used by the consent module, which supports UIInfo 's PrivacyStatementURL . See Metadata extensions on how to configure this.
