[cgiapp] ANNOUNCE: CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication 0.10

["Cees Hek" <suppressed>]

   module: CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication
   version: 0.10

A new version of the Authentication plugin went up on CPAN last night.
This release aims to make it a lot easier to customize the default
login page that is included with the plugin.  You can now very easily
change the colours that are used in the login box (can be as easy as
providing one base colour and have all other colours automatically
generated for you), or you can completely replace the stylesheet with
your own.  Or as a last resort, you can replace the entire login box
with a completely custom version.  It is also easier to embed the
login box into another existing page as well.

The other important change is that support for Authen::Simple was
added.  This means that you can use any of the Authen::Simple modules
available on CPAN directly as a driver in
CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication.

Following is a full list of Changes:

0.10  Thu May 18 22:59:56 EDT 2006

   - Add support for Authen::Simple (all Authen::Simple modules can
     be used directly as Drivers)
   - Made the login page much more customizable:
     - change any of the text
     - customize the colours - provide one base colour and lighter and
       darker shades are automatically generated (requires Color::Calc)
     - offer to remember the users username in a cookie for the next
       time they login
     - add option for a 'forgotten password' URL
     - add option for a 'register new account' URL
     - add option to supress the stylesheet so you can provide your own


Cheers,

Cees
