Notes

  • Note 1 (lloyd)
Shane and I have spent some time revamping the myfavoritebeer demo site.  Here's what's new:
1. there's now a real server that exports a simple API to store beer preferences, login, and logout.
2. assertions are now verified *from the server* as they should be.
3. Source code is annotated and the README provides an overview of how the thing is put together.
4. Full support for IE8 and IE9
5. (dev) Is running on top of the new certificate implementation.
Both http://dev.myfavoritebeer.org and http://beta.myfavoritebeer.org are running the new code,
and I'll migrate the production site (http://myfavoritebeer.org) over on monday.
Have a look a the documentation and source on github at: https://github.com/lloyd/myfavoritebeer.org
Any advice on how to make this code more useful as a reference for website developers
implementing browserid support is very welcome!
  • Note 2 (lloyd)
This is a big day for BrowserID!
First, the production updates:  the certificate implementation is now live in production. 
This is a significant architectural change that makes the system more distributed,
and much closer to its intended form.
Read more about the changes that went into production in the changelog:
https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/blob/5c3064/ChangeLog#L1-7
Next, the beta branch is updated with train-2011.09.29.
This is a tiny release that fixes a couple problems with authentication to the browserid server.
The tiny changelog is available here:  https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/commit/fd2232
Finally, and certainly most fun, our full site and dialog redesign is now landed in development. 
We'll be refining this work and getting it into production in two weeks time.
Expect low stability, feel free to file bugs, and hop in and give it a look here: https://dev.diresworb.org/
And experience it as a user would on the example site: http://dev.myfavoritebeer.org/

w00t!
Lloyd (on behalf of all the folks who do the actual work)

P.S.  As always, issues should land on github: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues
P.P.S.  We'll be doing a full bug scrub tomorrow, and hope to close or comment on lots of issues 
that are addressed by the cert changes in prod, and design changes in dev
