 ## next deploy
 
+- No longer needed to recompile the assets when switching the authentication provider
 - Updated the documentation about the minimum docker version
 - Updated nodejs version to 16.13.2 for dev environment, to reflect production version
 - Changed the apparence of the modal dialogs (React): no more logo and the close button appears in full-text in the top right corner.
