binarylogic/authlogic

Authlogic is a Ruby authentication library that provides session management, password hashing, and user validation for Rails, Rack, and Sinatra applications. It replaces the legacy Authgasm codebase with a modernized architecture featuring pluggable crypto providers, case-sensitive query handling, and comprehensive testing utilities. The system supports multiple database backends and enforces security best practices through configurable session and authentication behaviors.

The project underwent a major rebranding and refactoring, renaming from Authgasm to Authlogic and updating the gem's entry point and namespace. This period focused on modernizing the codebase by consolidating session management, adding support for non-Rails frameworks like Rack and Sinatra, and introducing new cryptographic providers such as SCrypt.

This period covers the transition to Authlogic 6, introducing breaking changes to authentication defaults and configuration. The work focused on modernizing the codebase for Ruby 3.2+ and Rails 7.2–8.1, while adding comprehensive test coverage and mock objects to ensure stability during the upgrade.
