Connect plugin Upgrade Managed Bedrock identity is now zero-config and understands Connect's signed principal v2. Releases 0.14.0 and 0.15.0 added generated verifier defaults and the newer identity protocol; 0.15.1 then isolated stale Watch proposals but was superseded after its release assets changed during a retry. Install 0.15.3, which contains all three changes with stable published artifacts.
Connect plugin Upgrade Login plugins can cooperate with Connect without hanging authenticated players or replacing their skin data. Connect 0.13.0 published a stable connect-player channel marker and 0.13.1 re-asserted Connect's login decision after premium-autologin plugins; install 0.15.3, which contains both changes. The login-plugin guide documents the remaining ordering limits.
Connect plugin Upgrade Spigot now reports useful diagnostics when a server update changes the internal mappings Connect needs. Added in 0.12.7 and included in 0.15.3.

Gate Upgrade Current Bedrock clients can join Gate again, and Connect-routed Bedrock identity uses the frozen signed-principal protocol without logging raw identities. Upgrade to Gate v0.71.1, which contains the identity work from v0.71.0 and the current-client compatibility fix.
GeyserLite Upgrade GeyserLite exposes verified Bedrock ingress to embedded and subprocess consumers and includes the latest upstream Bedrock compatibility fixes. The authenticated ingress API shipped in v0.5.0 and the upstream compatibility updates followed in v0.5.1 and v0.5.2; install v0.5.2.

Connect Live Every Connect endpoint now accepts Microsoft/Xbox-authenticated Bedrock players without requiring a linked Java account by default. An authoritative link still preserves the linked Java identity; an unlinked player receives a stable native Bedrock/XUID-derived identity. Offline/cracked Bedrock remains unsupported, and cracked Java remains a separate endpoint opt-in. Deployed across the hosted Connect service on August 4. (Internal repository, no public link.)
