Shibboleth Identity Provider 3.0.0-alpha2 available for testing

[Cantor, Scott]

The Shibboleth Project team has updated the prerelease of our upcoming
3.0.0 Identity Provider release, and alpha-2 is now available for testing.
[1]

We have produced preliminary documentation aimed at testers, primarily
expected to be people familiar with the 2.x software, which you can find
here as before:

https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/

Some of the changes since alpha-1 are discussed on the ConfigurationGuide
page. As this is an alpha, we have made some breaking configuration
changes (and will likely make more), so starting from scratch is suggested
for anybody already testing alpha-1.


We encourage any and all testing of the software, and you may file direct
bug reports against the "IDP" project in our issue tracker, or discuss
issues or ask questions on the development list [2] freely.

Thanks to all the testers who have provided feedback and bug reports so
far.
