2 What's new in 1.5?

JWT support

JWT is fully supported and is now the default token "storage" mechanism. If you still want to use your previous storage (such as Memcached or GORM), make sure you explicitly set to true one of the following properties:

Config key	Default value
`grails.plugin.springsecurity.rest.token.storage.useMemcached`	`false`
`grails.plugin.springsecurity.rest.token.storage.useGorm`	`false`
`grails.plugin.springsecurity.rest.token.storage.useGrailsCache`	`false`

If switching over JWT, the logout behavior is not available anymore. Read the documentation on how to implement your own logout strategy if you want to.

Redis support

Redis can now be used as token storage service. Thanks to Philipp Eschenbach for his initial contribution.

New package base

Packages com.odobo.grails.plugin.springsecurity.rest. have been refactored to simply grails.plugin.springsecurity.rest.. Make sure to double-check your imports when upgrading to 1.5.

Other minor changes

The plugin now uses Grails 2.4.4, and the build and tests are executed with Java 8.
Documentation for older versions is now published at
