sw360-20.0.0

We are proud to announce the release of SW360 version 20.0.0. This major release brings significant architectural changes, security enhancements, and performance improvements over the 19.2.x series. The most notable update in this version is the removal of the Liferay UI; the SW360 backend is now fully decoupled, and users must set up the new Next.js-based frontend from the eclipse-sw360/sw360-frontend repository.

Highlight of the changes in this version includes:

• Frontend Decoupling: Complete removal of the legacy Liferay UI, introducing a standalone backend with expanded endpoints to support the new Next.js frontend.
• Security Improvements: Addressed multiple vulnerabilities including XXE and path traversal, added XSS protection headers, and reinforced endpoint security.
• API & Documentation: Introduced extensive OpenAPI documentation and implemented robust pagination under the hood.
• User & Identity Management: Enhanced Keycloak user synchronization with CouchDB, and added batch processing.
• Performance & Stability: Implemented database-side pagination, optimized memory usage, and improved indexing and search speeds.
