 Changelog
 =========
 
+Version 9.0.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Nilupul Manodya implemented SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) Authentication.
+MSColab can now be configured with an existing IdP or multiple IdPs.
+In this way, a user can authenticate themselves in one system and gain access to another system
+by providing proof of authentication. In our documentation in the Components section you find a detailed description.
+
+Matthias Riße refactored the test suite and optimized and accelerated our CI test runs.
+All tests run in parallel now and are not retried upon failure, and most tests are also executed in a randomized order, instilling more confidence in the results.
+Quite a bit of duplicated code was unified, mostly using pytest fixtures.
+Additionally, CI test runs now also happen on x86_64- and ARM-based macOS.
+
+Jörn Ungermann refactored various parts of MSColab for faster processing with fewer requests.
+
+Reimar Bauer refactored the tutorials and the documentation shows now mp4 files embedded in html5.
+
+
+HINT:
+~~~~~
+The syntax of the server configuration of MSColab and MSWMS has changed. We removed the class definition.
+For MSColab we have added new configuration options related to SAML2.
+The change on the MSColab server also required changes on the MSUI handling the MSColab login. These changes are
+not backwards compatible. Server and Client must use versions >=9.0.0.
+We introduced a MSCOLAB_auth_user_name in the users configuration which simplifies the login process.
