After months of development and testing, Veri has reached its first stable release!

For those unfamiliar, Veri is a minimal authentication framework for Rails that gives you building blocks for custom authentication flows. No generated controllers, views, and mailers, no forced business logic - just the core mechanics of secure authentication that you can build upon.

What’s included:

• Cookie-based authentication with database-stored sessions
• Multiple password hashing algorithms (argon2, bcrypt, pbkdf2, scrypt)
• Granular session management and control
• User impersonation for admin features
• Account lockout functionality
• Multi-tenancy support
• Return path handling

Who it’s for:

Developers who want control over their authentication flow. If you’ve ever felt constrained by Devise or similar gems, Veri might be your cup of tea.

Future plans so far include password strength validation and configurable algorithm parameters.

Happy coding!
