Hey! I'd like to announce the release of happstack-auth-0.2 [1]. It offers an easy (and secure) way to implement user authentication for Happstack web applications with a lot of high level functions and a solid Happstack-State back-end. The original project got started by MightyByte, until I took it over and improved the whole package. As a result, the API has changed a lot and if you were using the old happstack-auth you might consider rewriting your application to use the new api.* However, your applications state will be completely compatible with the new version and be migrated automatically. The package got uploaded to hackage and can now be installed via cabal: cabal install happstack-auth It should build with both, the current stable release of happstack (0.5.0.2) and the latest darcs version (0.5.1). If there are any errors/bugs during building/running, please contact me! A demonstration website is up and running with about 30 lines of code (+ html templates and the actual happstack server code) at [2]. If you don't want to wait until hackage rendered the haddock pages, you can take a look at the (latest git version of the) API at [3]. Hope you enjoy it! :) - Nils Schweinsberg / McManiaC * You can still use the old state-query/update constructors by importing "Happstack.Auth.Internal", although you'll miss a lot of features like session management etc. In addition, MightyBytes old repo should be still available at [4].
