We're thrilled to announce the release of the anticipated new version of Wren:AM. Following Wren:IDM and Wren:DS, it's now completely independent of the legacy infrastructure, features an upgraded technology stack, and is compatible with JDK 17 (with preparations for Jakarta EE). Additionally, we've addressed a significant number of issues from previous versions, predominantly the security ones.
The project remains highly compatible with abandoned community versions of OpenAM, allowing for a seamless migration process, with the added option to leverage Docker images for added convenience.

Numbers worth mentioning include:

* 89 pull requests merged;
* 136 new commits;
* 22 issues closed;
* 27 known AM security vulnerabilities fixed;
* 35 Dependabot alerts fixed;
* 93 security issues (reported by Trivy) fixed.

If you're already running Wren:AM or an unsupported version of OpenAM, we strongly recommend upgrading to get the best out of your access management solution.
