Big usability release! Lockdown 1.6.0 is all about you, the developer. Tired of restarts? Tired of logging out to reset the session? Well, no more!

When Rails.configuration.cache_classes is false (development mode), Lockdown will reload the init.rb file on every request. In addition, the access_rights will be reset on each request. This means if you change public access rights in init.rb you don’t have to logout to have Lockdown apply the change. Slower, yes, but easier to work with when you are in heavy development.

This is a pretty big change, please run through your tests before promoting to production.

As always, constructive feedback is always welcome.

If you use Lockdown, a vote on RubyTrends would be appreciated. Knowing you took the time to cast your vote means a lot to me.

thanks,
andy
