= Highlights

== Client Policies and Financial-grade API (FAPI) Support

The {project_name} server has now official support for client policies and Financial-grade API (FAPI). This capability was previewed in earlier versions, but now
it is more polished and properly documented. Thanks to https://github.com/tnorimat[Takashi Norimatsu], who did most of the work on this. Also thanks
to https://github.com/DmitryMishchuk[Dmytro Mishchuk], https://github.com/andriimurashkin[Andrii Murashkin] and https://github.com/HryhoriiHevorkian[Hryhorii Hevorkian], who did a great deal of the work on this feature as well.
Finally thanks to all the members of the https://github.com/keycloak/kc-sig-fapi/blob/main/members.adoc[FAPI Special interest group] for their help and feedback.

== Improvements to User Profile SPI and support for declarative configuration

In this version, there were several improvements to the User Profile SPI in order
to prepare the ground on how users profiles are managed in {project_name}.

One of these improvements is the support for configuring user profiles through the administration console. For more
details proceed to link:{adminguide_link}#user-profile[{adminguide_name}]

Thanks to the community and all the individuals involved in this effort.

== Improvements to offline sessions

Offline session preloading has been improved and should be faster thanks to https://github.com/Flintholm[Peter Flintholm].

ifeval::[{project_community}==true]
As a preview feature, offline session preloading can be skipped in favor of lazy loading thanks
to https://github.com/thomasdarimont[Thomas Darimont]'s efforts. This feature has to be explicitly
activated in the server configuration, see Server administration guide for details.
