SSO ticket fix
In order to make the SSO work completely with the new ACS 6.1.0, a new exchange token for alf_ticket mechanism has been introduced via a new flow in the JS-API that performs this operation.
For more details about this issue please refer to the this JIRA ticket.
withCredential
The withCredentials property has been added as a configuration Boolean parameter in the JS-API and in ADF.
This indicates whether or not cross-site Access-Control requests should be made using credentials.
This configuration is usually needed when you are dealing with Kerberos.

JS-API in Typescript
The Alfresco JS-API layer has been rewritten in TypeScript. Note that the output of the project is still JavaScript code so you can use in the usual way.
This rewrite has been necessary to make the JS-API lighter and faster with the following benefits:
- Tree-shakable.
- Strong typing enhances code quality and readability.
- In the JS-API project, it is now easier to generate new code thanks our code generator template.
- TypeScript already provides a number of features that are planned for future version of JavaScript.
- Intellisense in your IDE will now work much better with the JS-API
Note that the following old package names have been deprecated: alfresco-js-api, alfresco-js-api-node.
The Node and Browser version are now both in: @alfresco/js-api
Refer to the official Alfresco JS-API documenation to learn more about this.
