[ANN] brain_buster 0.8.0 released

I’m happy to release version 0.8.0 of BrainBuster.

This is a long overdue release. I’ve removed all deprecated code, updated for Rails 2.0, improved specs considerably, and cleaned up the api and views.

Because of the way the filter chain is handled in Rails 2.0, you will now have to handle a captcha failure explicitly. Right now thats just done by overriding a method in your controller. See the README for more info.

I hope to post a quick tutorial for getting up and running with BrainBuster over the next few days, so please watch for that if you want to learn how to add an accessible, image free captcha to your app.

BrainBuster has now been moved to github for the dev scm, and to the Relevance Trac for tickets and bugs.

The mailing list is still at google groups.

Cool. Does it still work with the 1.2.x Rails branch ?

I believe so - there may be a small tweak you need to do to make sure things return false when they fail…which was due to an API change to Rails 2.0

If you have issues post to the mailing list and I can try to help.
