About GLAuth
GLAuth's September releases are security dependency updates and build fixes.
GLAuth's 2.5.0 in April was the substantial release, adding OpenTelemetry tracing, embedded plugins and RISC-V builds. Since then releases have been corrective: disabled users rejected on all backends in 2.5.1, a release-time plugin check in 2.5.2, a port-handling fix in 2.5.3, and 2.5.4 on September 13 updating all dependencies to safe versions.
