Announcing Flower 1.9
The Flower Team is excited to announce the release of Flower 1.9 stable and it’s packed with updates! Flower is a friendly framework for collaborative AI and data science. It makes novel approaches such as federated learning, federated evaluation, federated analytics, and fleet learning accessible to a wide audience of researchers and engineers.

Introduce built-in authentication (preview) (#2946, #3388, #2948, #2917, #3386, #3308, #3001, #3409, #2999, #2979, #3389, #3503, #3366, #3357)
Flower 1.9 introduces the first build-in version of client node authentication. In previous releases, users often wrote glue code to connect Flower to external authentication systems. With this release, the SuperLink can authenticate SuperNodes using a built-in authentication system. A new how-to guide and a new code example help you to get started.
