CDK v4.0.0 enhances the development experience by integrating a global configuration object that is accessible across all connector operations, providing streamlined management of authentication types, base URLs, and headers. This release also introduces the Raw HTTP operation, enabling developers to utilise API endpoints directly without the need for predefined connector operations. This feature is vital for rapid testing and integration of new API endpoints into your workflows.

Furthermore, the new RBAC token deployment method offers a more secure and permanent way to deploy connectors compared to the traditional session tokens. This update is designed to simplify the deployment process and enhance security for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.
