Hub 2026.1 Help

What's New

We deliver updates and improvements to Hub continuously. Here's an overview of the changes available in this version.

New Features

Feature

Description

OpenID Connect Authentication Module

Hub now supports OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication, replacing the OpenID 2.0 protocol. Existing OpenID 2.0 authentication modules continue to work, but new modules must use OpenID Connect.

Updates and Enhancements

Feature

Description

Customizable Application Footer

Administrators can now add custom text to the footer of all Hub pages. This feature helps meet legal and compliance requirements, such as displaying Internet Content Provider (ICP) registration numbers for instances hosted in China or adding corporate disclaimers.

Flexible Localhost Redirect URIs

Hub now accepts loopback redirect URIs (localhost or 127.0.0.1) with any port number. This enhancement simplifies development and testing workflows by eliminating the need to register specific ports for local redirects.

PKCE Support for OAuth 2 Authentication

Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) support has been implemented for OAuth 2 and OpenID Connect authentication modules. This enhancement is applied with no additional configuration required, providing a more secure identity provider token exchange process.

Performance Improvements

User and group synchronization performance has been significantly improved for large Okta and Entra ID directories.

Discontinued Features

Feature

Description

Organizations

Organization and project management functionality has been moved to YouTrack, where it is now available as a drop-in replacement. Hub focuses on its core strengths: authentication, SSO, and identity management. For YouTrack users, a fully automated data migration is provided.
