I’m pleased to announce the first public release of Lockdown (0.4.6).

Lockdown is an authorization/authentication system for RubyOnRails (and  
soon  
Merb). There’s a RubyForge site [http://lockdown.rubyforge.org](http://lockdown.rubyforge.org) for  
more  
information and a Google  
Group[http://groups.google.com/group/stonean\_lockdown?hl=en](http://groups.google.com/group/stonean_lockdown?hl=en)for  
Lockdown questions. Lockdown comes with a generator to build out user  
management screens and information on that is also at  
RubyForge[http://lockdown.rubyforge.org/generator.html](http://lockdown.rubyforge.org/generator.html).  
The construct of the screens follows the Stage  
generator[http://stage.rubyforge.org](http://stage.rubyforge.org)I released a little while ago and  
I recommend a brief review of this to get  
a feel for the view design.

Like most projects, the documenation could use some work. So please  
post  
any questions to the Google Group and I’ll update the documentation as  
patterns emerge.

I look forward to any and all constructive feedback.

thank you,  
andy
