Wow – this was probably our biggest update ever! Version 2.0 of IdentityServer4 is not only incorporating all the feedback we got over the last year, it also includes the necessary updates for ASP.NET Core 2 – and also has a couple of brand new features. See the release notes for a complete list as well as links to issues and PRs. 

But what do you know, turns out JavaScript isn’t quite done changing just yet! And so after over 21,717 respondents took this year's survey we had to dig up our components and charts, curse us-from-a-year-ago for writing such crappy code, and get to work digging through the data.
