We’re pleased to announce the release of simplegoogleidtoken v0.0.7, published on November 9, 2025. This maintenance release continues the project’s commitment to keeping dependencies current and maintaining a secure, reliable library for Java developers working with Google ID tokens.

What’s New

The v0.0.7 release focuses on infrastructure and dependency updates rather than new features:

Dependency Updates

  • google-auth-library-oauth2-http: Upgraded from 1.35.0 to 1.40.0 (six incremental updates)
  • gson: Updated from 2.13.1 to 2.13.2
  • lombok: Updated from 1.18.38 to 1.18.42
  • junit-jupiter-engine: Updated from 5.12.2 to 5.13.4

Build and CI/CD Improvements

  • actions/checkout: Upgraded from v4 to v5
  • actions/setup-java: Upgraded from v4 to v5
  • github/codeql-action: Upgraded from v3 to v4 for enhanced security scanning
  • codecov/codecov-action: Updated to v5.5.1
  • maven plugins: Updates across javadoc, compiler, surefire, gpg, and central-publishing plugins

Why It Matters

This release embodies the steady maintenance philosophy that keeps simplegoogleidtoken reliable for production use:

Security First: The google-auth-library-oauth2-http dependency saw six incremental updates within this single release cycle. For developers running in GCP environments who leverage this optional dependency, these updates incorporate important security patches and improvements from Google’s official authentication library.

No Breaking Changes: There are zero modifications to the library’s public API. Your existing code continues to work without any changes required. This is a pure upgrade – install it, run your tests, and move forward with confidence.

Active Maintenance: With 31 Dependabot pull requests merged for this release, the project demonstrates an active commitment to keeping all dependencies current. Regular dependency updates reduce technical debt and ensure your applications benefit from upstream improvements and security fixes.

Build Infrastructure Modernization: The upgrades to CodeQL (v4) and GitHub Actions bring improved security scanning capabilities and CI/CD reliability to the project itself, ensuring the library continues to be built and tested with modern tooling.

Upgrade Instructions

Upgrading to v0.0.7 is straightforward:

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>simplegoogleidtoken</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.7</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation 'com.unitvectory:simplegoogleidtoken:0.0.7'
