## Headline Changes

-   Configurable Policy engine mode

    In the past, all objects, which could have policies attached to them, required _all_ policies to pass to consider an action successful.
    You can now configure if _all_ policies need to pass, or if _any_ policy needs to pass.

    This can now be configured for the following objects:

    -   Applications (access restrictions)
    -   Sources
    -   Flows
    -   Flow-stage bindings

    For backwards compatibility, this is set to _all_, but new objects will default to _any_.

-   Expiring Events

    Previously, events would stay in the database forever, and had to eventually be cleaned up manually. This version add expiry to events with a default
    timeout of 1 Year. This also applies to existing events, and their expiry will be set during the migration.

-   New UI

    While the UI mostly looks the same, under the hood a lot has changed. The Web UI is now a Single-page application based on rollup and lit-html. This has several consequences and new features, for example:

    -   You can now see a user's OAuth Access/Refresh tokens and the consents they've given
    -   You can now see a per-object changelog based on the model_create/update/delete events being created.
    -   A new API Browser is available under `https://authentink.company/api/v2beta/`
    -   Several new charts, new pages and quality-of-life improvements
    -   Credentials of objects are no longer shown while editing them

-   Deprecated Group membership has been removed.

## Minor changes

-   You can now specify the amount of processes started in docker-compose using the `WORKERS` environment variable.
