[ANN] BrainBuster 0.8.0 released (logic captcha awesomeness)

[Rob Sanheim]

I'm happy to release version 0.8.0 of BrainBuster.

This is a long overdue release. I've removed all deprecated code,
updated for Rails 2.0, improved specs considerably, and cleaned up the
api and views.

Because of the way the filter chain is handled in Rails 2.0, you will
now have to handle a captcha failure explicitly. Right now thats just
done by overriding a method in your controller. See the README for
more info.

More Details:

Rob,

I was trying this plugin the first time tonight, and I couldn't find
the partial "/captcha" or "/captcha_footer" mentioned in the README
file. Shouldn't they be inluded in the plugin?

Thank you for your help.

Hi

Those partials are included in the plugin, under views/brain_buster.
With Rails 2.0, you don't have have to copy them into your own app's
view folder, as the brain_buster view path is appended automatically.

So basically, if you render the partial as described, it should just work:

One caveat - I saw that I had the incorrect svn url to install from in
the docs. Please make sure you installed from here:

script/plugin install
http://opensource.thinkrelevance.com/svn/brain_buster/trunk/

I'll be making a new release later today with that doc change and a few others.

Thanks,
Rob

Whoops... I installed from the googlecode link instead of the
thinkrelevance link. Is this going to present a problem? How would I
go about "uninstalling" my current version? Thanks.

It shouldn't be much of an issue.

I would recommend blowing away the old version and getting the new
one. The code at the google code link was slightly out of date.

My apologies for the mix up.

Thanks man... one last question. We're still using Rails 1.2.3, will
this require any deviations from the instructions or require using an
older version? Many thanks, this will be one kickass internship if I
can finish this project!

You'll probably have to return false for captcha failures to halt the
filter chain. Besides that, it should be fine, but no guarantees.
Rails 2 is where things are at now, so that was my main focus for this
last release.
