End of Support for Obsolete Language Versions

As Box to prepares to release the next major versions of the Python and Java SDKs, this is an alert that support is ending for obsolete language versions.

On January 17, 2022, major releases of the Python and Java SDK libraries are planned, ending support for obsolete language versions. The Python SDK will abandon Python 2.7 and Python 3.5 starting from version v3.0.0 of the Python SDK. The Java SDK will abandon Java 7 starting from version v3.0.0 of the Java SDK. Applications using the Python or Java SDK can still use the respective older versions of those libraries located in the GitHub release section, but any future new features will not be available for use.

OAuth 2.0 Redirect URL Updates

Today, we released a new feature to the Box Developer Console, allowing developers to add multiple redirect URIs for an OAuth 2.0 application.

Starting November 29, 2021, new applications using OAuth 2.0 will require the URIs set in the configuration tab of the Developer Console to strictly match the one used during redirect. In addition, both new and existing applications, will gain the ability to add multiple redirect URIs.

For existing applications, the deadline to make changes to this URL and avoid service disruption is May 13, 2022.

Updates

• The Box Developer Console OAuth 2.0 application configuration section has a new button to add multiple redirect URIs
• Redirect URIs now force strict checking to match the URI passed in and URIs configured in the OAuth 2.0 application configuration
• Updated the redirect_uri query parameter wording on the GET /authorize endpoint page
• Updated the OAuth 2.0 setup, with SDK, and without SDK guide pages

New Shield Download Event

Today, we released a new event_type to the Enterprise Event stream for downloads that are restricted based on a Shield access policy.

If an admin creates a shield access policy that restricts downloads and an end user is blocked from downloading a file, an event is produced within the enterprise event stream. Events will also be generated when a user is viewing a folder with a file restricted from download, viewing a file in preview that is restricted from download, and when a user requests to download a file through the API that is restricted from download. These events follow the standard event object schema and the event_type value set to SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED.

Updates

• Added a new section to the Smart Access event trigger documentation
• Added SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED to the enterprise event list
