What is Auth0?

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

What is Frappe Framework?

Two trains ship the same features minutes apart while v16 absorbs the CRM stack.

v15 and v16 now release in lockstep: v15.118.0 and v16.31.0 went out the same minute carrying the same two features, a between filter for numbers and dates and an activity timeline that records edits, milestones, and sharing events. What separates them is what only v16 receives — a Recorder timeline for document lifecycle, a grouped settings dialog, Cloud Settings in Desk. Both trains carry the same breaking export change, where CSV and Excel now show linked-record titles instead of internal names.

Auth0 hands tenants a throttle on their own noisy apps

◆ Current state

Custom Rate Limits enter Early Access, letting a tenant cap requests per second for individual clients or whole classes of them — third-party, CIMD — so one application cannot exhaust the tenant's Authentication API rate limit entitlement. Policies are configured through an API and can be rolled out in notify-only mode before they start blocking. It arrives in a dense window that also brought Flexible Password Policy to GA and Custom Prompts parity across social and enterprise connections.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads dominate. One is agent and delegation infrastructure — Agents as Principal, Token Vault Privileged Worker, Custom Token Exchange session delegation — all still in Early Access. The other is tenant self-service: rate limits, blocklists, organization search and roles, global search. Auth0 is systematically converting things that required support intervention into API-configurable policy.

◆ Prediction

The Early Access items now stacking up, particularly the agent-identity pieces, are the obvious GA candidates next, following the Flexible Password Policy path from Early Access to general availability.

F5.0

Two trains ship the same features minutes apart while v16 absorbs the CRM stack.

◆ Current state

v15 and v16 now release in lockstep: v15.118.0 and v16.31.0 went out the same minute carrying the same two features, a between filter for numbers and dates and an activity timeline that records edits, milestones, and sharing events. What separates them is what only v16 receives — a Recorder timeline for document lifecycle, a grouped settings dialog, Cloud Settings in Desk. Both trains carry the same breaking export change, where CSV and Excel now show linked-record titles instead of internal names.

◆ Where it's heading

v15 is being held at parity on features that are cheap to backport while v16 takes everything structural. The clearest case is the shared CRM and Helpdesk layer — forms, phone number fields, notifications, activity history — being folded into the framework so those apps stop carrying their own copies. Running underneath both is steady permission work: access checks on linked-record lookups, Report scripts restricted to approved methods, server-side Google sign-in, one-time codes for linked accounts.

◆ Prediction

Expect v16 minors to keep pulling app-level features into the framework while v15 receives only the small portable ones; the divergence between the two Features sections is already the reliable tell.
