v6.0.0

Release Notes for Version 6.0.0

Release Date: May 21, 2024

New Features and Enhancements:

• Enhanced OAuth2 Node:

  • Implemented support for the OAuth2 implicit flow, allowing client applications (typically SPAs) to obtain access tokens directly.
  • Added new configuration fields: access_type, response_type, and prompt. These fields enhance flexibility in OAuth2 configurations, accommodating a wider range of authentication scenarios.
  • Improved input handling and proxy configuration within the OAuth2Node class for more reliable network request handling during the OAuth2 process.

• Configuration Updates:

  • Updated .eslintrc.yml to exclude console logs in test files, ensuring cleaner and more readable test outputs.
  • Bumped the package version in package.json to 6.0.0 to reflect significant updates and improvements.
  • Updated dependencies to include mocha for enhanced testing capabilities and additional dev dependencies for improved development workflows.

• Locales and UI Enhancements:

  • Added support for new fields in locales/en-US/oauth2.json to enable comprehensive configuration options.
  • Updated the OAuth2 HTML file (oauth2.html) to include input fields for access_type, response_type, and prompt, allowing users to configure these parameters through the Node-RED UI.

• Testing and Documentation:

  • Added extensive tests for the new fields and implicit flow to ensure robustness and functionality.
  • Updated documentation to reflect new features, providing detailed examples of using the implicit flow and configuring the additional fields.

Bug Fixes:

• Issue #79:
  • Resolved an issue with Google API authentication where users received an HTTP 200 response with an HTML sign-in page payload instead of the expected OAuth2 token.
  • Properly handled the redirect to the Google sign-in page, including the additional confirmation screen, ensuring seamless user authentication.

Upgrade Notes:

• Breaking Changes:
  • Users upgrading from previous versions should update their configurations to utilize the new fields and implicit flow support.
  • Review the updated documentation for detailed guidance on configuring the OAuth2 node with the new enhancements.
