ANN: Friend 0.1.0 released (web authentication/authorization library)

[Chas Emerick]

I released [com.cemerick/friend "0.1.0"] to Clojars last night. Friend is an extensible authentication and authorization library for Clojure Ring web applications and services:

https://github.com/cemerick/friend

This release does make some breaking changes, though all unfortunately necessary. The changelog since the 0.0.9 release is here:

https://github.com/cemerick/friend/blob/master/CHANGES.md

While I'd say there are now "many" sites and services in production using Friend for user authentication and authorization, (including Clojars, /ht to Nelson Morris on that count), the caveats in the Friend main README still apply, including:

> ...proceed happily, but mindfully. Only with your help will we have

Please file issues and otherwise complain loudly when you hit problems. :-)

Cheers,

- Chas

Thanks Chas and Nelson. `Friend` is filling one of the important gaps
in the Clojure web development space.
