I know I've left it alone for a long time, been busy. At any rate, I've slowly started v0.0.2. Completed so far is a list of features v0.0.2 will incorporate into the current list. That list is further down, but before I get into it I'd also like to talk about some of the code clean-up thats going to take place. The original release is functional, but ugly, it includes next to no comments, uses a funny variable naming convention to ensure no conflicts and is imature to say the least. The new version will include cleaner code, comments, and will be a package to prevent any conflicts in variable naming. And, now, without further blabbin on, the new features are... * Plain Text support - the previous version only supported MySQL for data storage, the new version will support plain text as well, to make command line administration possible without the aid of any contributed scripting * HTTP AUTH - along with the ability to use a HTML page for login, HTTP AUTH will also be allowed with options provided in the script or at a global level * get'n widgey with it! - Widgets will be provided to incorporate the fields into your site, instead of having plain seperate pages. This means branding! Oh, and the last thing, remember. PSBAS is not in and of itself secure, it, like any other HTTP app sends data to the server via plain text requests. Want security, do it via HTTPS ;-) Check back in a couple of weeks for v0.0.2, I'm out.
