Pantheon has released a new version of our WP SAML Auth WordPress plugin. This update focuses on modernizing PHP support and providing developers with more granular control over SAML configurations.

What's New

• Updated PHP Requirements: The minimum supported PHP version has been increased to 7.4 to ensure better security and performance.
• WordPress 6.9 Compatibility: Confirmed compatibility with WordPress 6.9.
• Enhanced Configuration: Added the wp_saml_auth_internal_config filter, allowing developers to customize the OneLogin SAML configuration.
• SimpleSAMLphp 2.x Support: Improved auto-detection for SimpleSAMLphp 2.x and optimized autoloader discovery to skip redundant processes when the SimpleSAML\Auth\Simple class is already loaded.

Bug Fixes

Settings Page Warnings: Fixed a warning message on the plugin's settings page that appeared for users not utilizing SimpleSAML.

Important: Compatibility & Testing

While this update improves autoloader discovery, it changes how the plugin interacts with the local environment. We strongly recommend testing in a lower environment before upgrading especially if you use:

• Non-Standard Installations: Custom SimpleSAMLphp installations located in non-standard directories.
• Manual Autoloaders: Custom autoloader code that manually handles the loading of SimpleSAMLphp.
