 - The return value of the social services `getUserInfoFromTokens` method is now typed.
 
+## Controller parameters
+
+To facilitate the typing of the request body, path parameters and request parameters in controllers, the request object is now passed as a second argument to controller methods.

 ## Logging
 
 - The `Logger.addLogContext(key, value)` method now accepts a record as parameter: `Logger.addLogContext(context)`. This makes the function's signature more consistent with other logging methods (`info`, `warn`, etc.) and allows multiple keys/values to be passed at once.
