# Which Problems Are Solved
The action v2 messages were didn't contain anything providing security
for the sent content.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Each Target now has a SigningKey, which can also be newly generated
through the API and returned at creation and through the Get-Endpoints.
There is now a HTTP header "Zitadel-Signature", which is generated with
the SigningKey and Payload, and also contains a timestamp to check with
a tolerance if the message took to long to sent.
# Additional Changes
The functionality to create and check the signature is provided in the
pkg/actions package, and can be reused in the SDK.
# Additional Context
Closes#7924

# Which Problems Are Solved
The current handling of notification follows the same pattern as all
other projections:
Created events are handled sequentially (based on "position") by a
handler. During the process, a lot of information is aggregated (user,
texts, templates, ...).
This leads to back pressure on the projection since the handling of
events might take longer than the time before a new event (to be
handled) is created.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The current user notification handler creates separate notification
events based on the user / session events.
- These events contain all the present and required information
including the userID.
- These notification events get processed by notification workers, which
gather the necessary information (recipient address, texts, templates)
to send out these notifications.
- If a notification fails, a retry event is created based on the current
notification request including the current state of the user (this
prevents race conditions, where a user is changed in the meantime and
the notification already gets the new state).
- The retry event will be handled after a backoff delay. This delay
increases with every attempt.
- If the configured amount of attempts is reached or the message expired
(based on config), a cancel event is created, letting the workers know,
the notification must no longer be handled.
- In case of successful send, a sent event is created for the
notification aggregate and the existing "sent" events for the user /
session object is stored.
- The following is added to the defaults.yaml to allow configuration of
the notification workers:
```yaml
Notifications:
# The amount of workers processing the notification request events.
# If set to 0, no notification request events will be handled. This can be useful when running in
# multi binary / pod setup and allowing only certain executables to process the events.
Workers: 1 # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_WORKERS
# The amount of events a single worker will process in a run.
BulkLimit: 10 # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_BULKLIMIT
# Time interval between scheduled notifications for request events
RequeueEvery: 2s # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_REQUEUEEVERY
# The amount of workers processing the notification retry events.
# If set to 0, no notification retry events will be handled. This can be useful when running in
# multi binary / pod setup and allowing only certain executables to process the events.
RetryWorkers: 1 # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_RETRYWORKERS
# Time interval between scheduled notifications for retry events
RetryRequeueEvery: 2s # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_RETRYREQUEUEEVERY
# Only instances are projected, for which at least a projection-relevant event exists within the timeframe
# from HandleActiveInstances duration in the past until the projection's current time
# If set to 0 (default), every instance is always considered active
HandleActiveInstances: 0s # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_HANDLEACTIVEINSTANCES
# The maximum duration a transaction remains open
# before it spots left folding additional events
# and updates the table.
TransactionDuration: 1m # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_TRANSACTIONDURATION
# Automatically cancel the notification after the amount of failed attempts
MaxAttempts: 3 # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_MAXATTEMPTS
# Automatically cancel the notification if it cannot be handled within a specific time
MaxTtl: 5m # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_MAXTTL
# Failed attempts are retried after a confogired delay (with exponential backoff).
# Set a minimum and maximum delay and a factor for the backoff
MinRetryDelay: 1s # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_MINRETRYDELAY
MaxRetryDelay: 20s # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_MAXRETRYDELAY
# Any factor below 1 will be set to 1
RetryDelayFactor: 1.5 # ZITADEL_NOTIFIACATIONS_RETRYDELAYFACTOR

Add a cache implementation using Redis single mode. This does not add
support for Redis Cluster or sentinel.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Added the `internal/cache/redis` package. All operations occur
atomically, including setting of secondary indexes, using LUA scripts
where needed.
The [`miniredis`](https://github.com/alicebob/miniredis) package is used
to run unit tests.
# Additional Changes
- Move connector code to `internal/cache/connector/...` and remove
duplicate code from `query` and `command` packages.
- Fix a missed invalidation on the restrictions projection

Closes#8130
# Which Problems Are Solved
Currently ZITADEL supports RP-initiated logout for clients. Back-channel
logout ensures that user sessions are terminated across all connected
applications, even if the user closes their browser or loses
connectivity providing a more secure alternative for certain use cases.
# How the Problems Are Solved
If the feature is activated and the client used for the authentication
has a back_channel_logout_uri configured, a
`session_logout.back_channel` will be registered. Once a user terminates
their session, a (notification) handler will send a SET (form POST) to
the registered uri containing a logout_token (with the user's ID and
session ID).
- A new feature "back_channel_logout" is added on system and instance
level
- A `back_channel_logout_uri` can be managed on OIDC applications
- Added a `session_logout` aggregate to register and inform about sent
`back_channel` notifications
- Added a `SecurityEventToken` channel and `Form`message type in the
notification handlers
- Added `TriggeredAtOrigin` fields to `HumanSignedOut` and
`TerminateSession` events for notification handling
- Exported various functions and types in the `oidc` package to be able
to reuse for token signing in the back_channel notifier.
- To prevent that current existing session termination events will be
handled, a setup step is added to set the `current_states` for the
`projections.notifications_back_channel_logout` to the current position
- [x] requires https://github.com/zitadel/oidc/pull/671
# Additional Changes
- Updated all OTEL dependencies to v1.29.0, since OIDC already updated
some of them to that version.
- Single Session Termination feature is correctly checked (fixed feature
mapping)
# Additional Context
- closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8467
- TODO:
- Documentation
- UI to be done: https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8469

# Which Problems Are Solved
Milestones used existing events from a number of aggregates. OIDC
session is one of them. We noticed in load-tests that the reduction of
the oidc_session.added event into the milestone projection is a costly
business with payload based conditionals. A milestone is reached once,
but even then we remain subscribed to the OIDC events. This requires the
projections.current_states to be updated continuously.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The milestone creation is refactored to use dedicated events instead.
The command side decides when a milestone is reached and creates the
reached event once for each milestone when required.
# Additional Changes
In order to prevent reached milestones being created twice, a migration
script is provided. When the old `projections.milestones` table exist,
the state is read from there and `v2` milestone aggregate events are
created, with the original reached and pushed dates.
# Additional Context
- Closes https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8800
# Which Problems Are Solved
We identified the need of caching.
Currently we have a number of places where we use different ways of
caching, like go maps or LRU.
We might also want shared chaches in the future, like Redis-based or in
special SQL tables.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Define a generic Cache interface which allows different implementations.
- A noop implementation is provided and enabled as.
- An implementation using go maps is provided
- disabled in defaults.yaml
- enabled in integration tests
- Authz middleware instance objects are cached using the interface.
# Additional Changes
- Enabled integration test command raceflag
- Fix a race condition in the limits integration test client
- Fix a number of flaky integration tests. (Because zitadel is super
fast now!) 🎸🚀

# Which Problems Are Solved
Adds the possibility to mirror an existing database to a new one.
For that a new command was added `zitadel mirror`. Including it's
subcommands for a more fine grained mirror of the data.
Sub commands:
* `zitadel mirror eventstore`: copies only events and their unique
constraints
* `zitadel mirror system`: mirrors the data of the `system`-schema
* `zitadel mirror projections`: runs all projections
* `zitadel mirror auth`: copies auth requests
* `zitadel mirror verify`: counts the amount of rows in the source and
destination database and prints the diff.
The command requires one of the following flags:
* `--system`: copies all instances of the system
* `--instance <instance-id>`, `--instance <comma separated list of
instance ids>`: copies only the defined instances
The command is save to execute multiple times by adding the
`--replace`-flag. This replaces currently existing data except of the
`events`-table
# Additional Changes
A `--for-mirror`-flag was added to `zitadel setup` to prepare the new
database. The flag skips the creation of the first instances and initial
run of projections.
It is now possible to skip the creation of the first instance during
setup by setting `FirstInstance.Skip` to true in the steps
configuration.
# Additional info
It is currently not possible to merge multiple databases. See
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/7964 for more details.
It is currently not possible to use files. See
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/7966 for more information.
