### About the Nightly Builds
Don't confuse RC/Preview versions and nightly builds. When we say RC or preview, we are mentioning the preview system explained above.

## Get Started with the RC Versions
Please try the preview versions and provide feedback to us to release more stable versions. Please open an issue on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/new) if you find a bug.

### Update the ABP CLI to the 3.1.0-rc.1
***TODO***
Since this is the first preview version, you need to upgrade the [ABP CLI](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/CLI) to the `3.1.0-rc.1` to be able to use the preview features:

Implemented the infrastructure for social/external logins in the account module. So, now you can easily configure your application to support social/external logins by [following the documentation](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/blob/dev/docs/en/Authentication/Social-External-Logins.md). Once you configure a provider, a button will appear on the login page to use this provider.
The social logins will work as expected even if you are using the Angular UI, since the Angular UI uses the MVC login using the authorization code flow implemented with this new version (as explained above).
### Forgot/Reset Password
TODO
Implemented forgot password / password reset for the account module.
You can now enter your email address to get an email containing a **password reset link**:
When you click to the link, you are redirected to a password reset page to determine your new password:
### External Login System
TODO
The standard Social/External Login system (like Facebook login) works via OpenID Connect. That means the user is redirected to the login provider, logins there and redirected to your application.
While this is pretty nice for most scenarios, sometimes you want a simpler external login mechanism: User enters username & password in your own application's login form and you check the username & password from another source, not from your own database.
ABP v3.1 introduces an External Login System to check username & password from any source (from an external database, a REST service or from an LDAP / Active Directory server).
You can check the [issue #4977](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/4977#issuecomment-670006297) until it is fully documented.
We've implemented LDAP authentication for the ABP Commercial, using this new login extension system (see the ABP Commercial section below).
### User Security Logs
TODO
The new [Security Log System](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/4492) (of the Identity module) automatically logs all authentication related operations (login, logout, change password...) to a `AbpSecurityLogs` table in the database.
### New BLOB Storage Providers
TODO: AWS & Aliyun
Implemented [AWS](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/blob/dev/docs/en/Blob-Storing-Aws.md) and [Aliyun](https://github.com/abpframework/abp/blob/dev/docs/en/Blob-Storing-Aliyun.md) providers for the [BLOB storing](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Blob-Storing) system with this version.
