Does anyone know a brief history of the Ruby on Rails registration system? As far as I know, there are 5:
write everything yourself (with or without a Rails session)
Acts_as_Authenticated, written by the same person who wrote Restful Authentication, but not RESTful.
Restful Authentication (also called the AuthenticatedSystem module), which is under script/generate authenticated user sessions, and the code is mainly located inlib/authenticated_system.rb
Authlogic
Are developing
Is this how it develops — does anyone know the early history of this — for example, when Rails first started, was Restful Authentication already there?
