Roadmap

Where things are headed in upcoming versions:

Version 4.1

• by default, fetch user data from UCPath rather than LDAP; fall back to LDAP if user record can't be found in UCPath (the current behavior of only using LDAP will still be available if individual apps need/want it)
• store preferred name from UCPath in local users table; fall back to primary name if preferred name not available
• improve autocomplete for impersonation feature (#47) (closed, not reproducible)
• properly scope "Add New" button on Users page (#21)
• bring all dependencies to up latest compatible versions
• documentation: provide example of custom session manager

Version 4.9

• deprecate first_name and last_name in favor of given_name and family_name - this is the nomenclature used by UCPath, and "first name" and "last name" don't work well for many countries
• deprecate UcbRailsUser::Configuration and config.yml support (#9)

Version 5.0

• require Rails 7 (so we can start moving away from jQuery and toward Hotwire)
• rewrite user management pages to use Stimulus/Hotwire
• remove jQuery
• remove datatables.js
• remove UcbRailsUser::Configuration and config.yml support
• stop fetching student_id by default (#83)
• replace first_name and last_name with given_name and family_name
• upgrade to OmniAuth 2 - this is a security fix but has some breaking changes
• add validations to user model
