We’re excited to announce the release of version 2 of Rabarber, a role-based authorization gem for Ruby on Rails. This new version brings significant improvements, cleaner code, and a more refined user experience.

This is a major version release, bringing several breaking changes. If you’ve been using older versions, please refer to the migration guide to upgrade to v2.0.0.

• Simplified Configuration: With cleaner setup and improved flexibility, configuring Rabarber is now easier.
• Support for UUID Primary Keys: You can now use UUID primary keys with Rabarber.
• Bug Fixes: This release includes bug fixes, enhancing the stability and reliability of the gem.
• Code Refactoring: The codebase has been significantly refactored and improved for better performance and stability.

With version 2, Rabarber enters a new phase. The rapid development cycle has come to an end, and we’re focusing on stability and refinement. While new features may be added in the future, probably including multi-tenancy support and enhanced access control methods, releases will be less frequent, ensuring a more stable and reliable experience for the users.
