1.18.7 (2026-10-01)

Added support for user-assigned managed identities on Azure Arc in ManagedIdentityCredential and DefaultAzureCredential. (#50371)

Fixed NullPointerException in IdentityClientOptions when running in GraalVM native images (e.g., Quarkus applications). Replaced reflection-dependent AzureIdentityEnvVars enum usage with direct string literal to ensure compatibility with native compilation. (#47940)
Fixed logging for token authentication errors to include full stack traces with inner exceptions. Previously, error logs referenced "inner exceptions" but only logged the error message, making debugging difficult. (#47974)
Disabled MSAL's internal retry for Confidential Client, Managed Identity and Public Client Applications. (#48472)
Improved AzureDeveloperCliCredential error handling to extract meaningful messages from azd auth token JSON output, providing cleaner error messages to users. (#47975)
Fixed misleading authentication error reporting when token requests are interrupted or the JVM shuts down. (#50585)
Fixed IMDS discovery in DefaultAzureCredential to wait for HTTP response headers with a read timeout, allowing the credential chain to continue when a local endpoint accepts connections but does not respond, while preserving fallback on probe setup failures. (#50517)
