The Grails Acegi plugin team is pleased to announce the release of version
0.3 of the plugin.

The Acegi plugin simplifies the work involved in integrating Acegi Security
into Grails applications. By combining a core configuration with
user-specified options and overrides, it creates a best-practice
configuration of Spring Security in any Grails application while allowing
developers to make config changes without having to deal with the complexity
of using Spring Security directly.

This release includes significant enhancements, including:
 - upgrade to Spring Security 2.0
 - new support for LDAP/ActiveDirectory logins, including the option to store
roles in the database, infer them from LDAP group membership, or both
 - new support for OpenID logins that integrate with your application's domain
Users and Roles
 - made more of the configuration user-configurable, e.g. filter, logout
handler, and role voter lists are now configurable - you can easily add your
own, remove existing, or change the order
 - new configuration attributes were added, including mail server port and
mail server JavaMailProperties to allow more control over mail sending and to
allow usage of GMail SMTP
 - GrailsUser is now an interface, and GrailsDaoImpl was reworked to make
subclassing or replacement easier to allow custom database user loading
 - added full suite of unit and integration tests, and also automated
functional tests using WebTest
 - new wrapper for Acegi events that calls optional application-defined
closures when events fire
 - moved all classes to packages
 - enhanced Ajax login support including a brief tutorial
 - lots of updates to the documentation
(http://grails.org/AcegiSecurity+Plugin)
 - bug fix - bypassed DigestUtils for password encryption to allow use of any
supported codec

The plugin and source code are available for download here:
