0.1-beta1

When the first public prototype of Hydra gained unforseen attention, we knew that is access control is a rough topic for many developers. In our own experience, existing solutions are either expensive or hard to install and manage. We started to collect user feedback, analized conceptual issues and came up with a plan to re-write hydra with clear goals:

• It must be easy to scale
• It must be highly available
• It must integrate with any identity provider
• It must be secure
• It must be easy to set up and use
• It must be open source
• It must be real time
• It must be documented

As of today, 0.1-beta1 has landed. Try it, break it!

This release is a complete recode of the original code base. Instead of using postgres, Hydra now uses rethinkdb to keep data available in memory. Hydra now uses Fosite and a new Constent Flow. Please read the README for more information.
