New version postponed

I have managed to delete the whole phpSecureSite development tree, and the latest backup is a month old. This means that the new release will be postponed a month or two while I reimplement the lost code. 0.1 may be out around May 1. 2002.

@#$&%!!!

Here's a list of some new features for you to drool over until the new version is out ;

- Fully modularized system, based on events and handlers. This allows third-party developers to write their own plug-in modules

- Whole system rewritten into the new module system. Modules include
- Core system (minimal session handling)
- Logging subsystem
- Session variables (also persistent (intersession) vars)
- IP access control
- Brute force protection

- Extensive documentation in DocBook SGML, rendered to HTML, PDF, PostScript or pretty much any other format

- New demo site which demonstrates all the phpSecureSite functionality

- Complete abstraction of the database

Although there is still a long way to go before it is ready for real-world use it has grown considerably since version 0.0.1, and my ambitions for the system is constantly increasing. I think that within a year it will be a highly secure and functional security system for web-apps which should be ready for use in environments where security is a top priority, for example online banking-services or ecommerce-sites.

The first thing I'll do when I begin development again is to set up a good backup-system so I'll never have to go through this again.
