New Features

  • An around_rodauth configuration method has been added, which is called around all Rodauth actions. This configuration method is passed a block, and is useful for cases where you want to wrap Rodauth’s handling of the request.

    For example, if you had a method named time_block in your Roda scope that timed block execution and added a response header, you could time Rodauth actions using something like:

    around_rodauth do |&block|
      scope.time_block('Rodauth') do
        super(&block)
      end
    end
    
  • The allow_refresh_with_expired_jwt_access_token? configuration has been added to the jwt_refresh feature, allowing refreshing with an expired but otherwise valid access token. When using this method, it is required to have an hmac_secret specified, so that Rodauth can make sure the access token matches the refresh token.

Other Improvements

  • The javascript for setting up a WebAuthn token has been fixed to allow it to work correctly if there is already an existing WebAuthn token for the account.

  • The rodauth.setup_account_verification method has been promoted to public API. You can use this method for automatically sending account verification emails when automatically creating accounts.

  • Rodauth no longer loads the same feature multiple times into a single configuration. This didn’t cause any problems before, but could result in duplicate entries when looking at the loaded features.
