• max_sessions argument added to deploy_app() which enables the new Polished Hosting load balancer.
• gh_pat argument added to deploy_app() which can be set to deploy/use private GitHub packages on Polished Hosting.
• new function auth_filter() which makes it very simple to add Polished Auth to Plumber APIs.

polished 0.7.0 (2022-08-25)

• removed admin_mode argument from polished_config().
• added optional role_name arg to add_user_role()
• deploy_app() now throws a more user friendly error message if the app is too large to deploy to Polished Hosting.
• Polished Hosting supports instances with more RAM. 16 and 32 GiB RAM instances are now available.
• the custom_admin_ui argument for secure_ui() now takes a fully custom shiny app. This allows users to fully customize their Admin Panel. Previously you could only add tabs to the existing default Admin Panel, but with this change, you can fully replace the default Admin Panel with a custom Shiny app.
• improved UI of email verification page.
• update_user() API wrapper function has been created.
• 2 factor authentication using TOTP has been implemented. This works with authenticator apps like Google Authenticator. You can enable it by setting the is_two_fa_required argument of polished_config() to TRUE.
• bug fix - fixed auto email verification check on email verification page.

polished 0.6.1 (2022-02-24)

• Fixed bug with is_auth_required argument for polished_config().

polished 0.6.0 (2022-02-23)

• major internal refactor to simplify how user sessions are handled. We remove the reliance on R6. We now just use a regular base R environment to to hold the configuration and regular R functions (rather than R6 methods) to handle user sessions. You can now access all polished auth configuration from your Shiny app or other R packages that build upon polished via the polished::.polished environment.
• new argument override_user added to secure_server(). When this argument is set to TRUE (the default), the session$userData$user() polished user will be accessible in the session$user. Set this argument to FALSE if you are using RStudio Connect or another hosting option that uses the session$user and you need access to the value they set for session$user.
• fix to allow for multiple custom tabItems on the Admin Panel.
• The Admin Panel query string has been changed from ?page=admin_panel to ?page=admin
• new get_api_key() function that will check for the environment variable POLISHED_API_KEY.
• new polished_config() function to replace global_sessions_config() which has been deprecated.
• Bug Fix #172 - browser previously refreshed when URL query or hash parameters changed, but user remained on the Shiny app. This has been updated to be consistent with normal Shiny behavior (i.e. Shiny session does not reload when URL query or hash parameters update).
• Added secure_rmd(), which can be used to render and secure any R Markdown (.Rmd) document. Rendering is handled by rmarkdown::render and the then the rendered document is secured with polished authentication.

polished 0.5.0 (2021-12-07)

• Added 4 additional Polished Hosting regions (see documentation for region argument of polished::deploy_app())
• App names (i.e. app_name) can now include upper case letters & spaces (Example: app_name = "Example App Name")
• added cache argument to deploy_app() to set whether or not to use a cached build of your Shiny app on Polished Hosting.
• added golem_package_name argument to deploy_app() to allow for deploying Golem Shiny apps to Polished Hosting.
• removed options to pass an "account module" and/or a "splash page module" to the secure_ui() and secure_server() functions. These were experimental arguments for extending polished. We now have a better generalized solution for extending polished -- more to come soon.
• export the api_list_to_df() function
• added new cookie_expires argument to global_sessions_config(), allowing you to set the cookie expiration for app users

polished 0.4.0 (2021-09-16)

• added 93 new tests for the above mentioned new API wrapper functions.
• removed api_url argument from global_sessions_config(). This argument is only used internally during development, so there is no reason to expose it to package users.
• Bug Fix: fixed check for user already registered during sign in process.
• added button_color argument to sign_in_ui_default().
• added tlmgr argument to deploy_app() which allows support for generating pdf documents from Rmarkdown.

polished 0.3.0 (2021-03-09)

• created new deploy_app() function for deploying apps to Polished Hosting.
• removed dependencies on shinydashboardPlus due to breaking change with dashboardHeaderPlus() and dashboardPagePlus().
• sign_out_from_shiny() can now be used in the session$onSessionEnded() or onStop() to sign the user out when the user's session ends.
• added support for package dependency detection #129
• added cookie options { sameSite: "none", secure: true } when the app is being served over https. This allows polished authentication to work in an iframe on most browsers.
• added email validation to email inputs in the sign in and registration modules.
• allow for a function UI be passed to the "ui" argument of secure_ui().
• added redirect_page argument to sign_out_from_shiny()
• new is_auth_required argument added to global_sessions_config() which (when set to FALSE) allows users to access your app without being signed in. By default this argument is set to TRUE. #109
• moved toast notification to top (better for mobile) and extended showDuration. #107

polished 0.2.0 (2020-09-29)

• added background_image argument to sign_in_ui_default() to allow for a full screen image for the sign in page background.
• only use the "email" sign in provider by default rather than c("google", "email").
• added customizable sign out button to secure_static() #93
• standardized and documented process for using fully customized sign in and registration pages #92. New functions sign_in_js() and sign_in_check_jwt(), and new vignette on how to use these functions to create fully customized sign in and registration pages.
• add sign_in_module_2 as an alternative premade sign in page. sign_in_module_2 is designed to look nice when using social sign in providers (like Google and Microsoft) in addition to email/password.
• Removed sign_in_no_invite_module. sign_in_module and sign_in_module_2 now have an is_invite_requirement argument, so there is no longer a need for a dedicated sign_in_no_invite_module.

• Initial CRAN release of polished
