The 0.1 release of OpenSRF represents the culmination of everything we have posted about here, and some things we haven’t.

One of the main differences between our initial snapshot tarball and the shiny new OpenSRF code is the removal of the dependence on an Auth Application. We have decided that the security provided by Jabber is sufficient for connection to the OpenSRF network, and application level authentication and authorization should be handled either by each individual Application, or by an Authentication Application built specifically for the target problem domain.
