Rabarber v5: Cleaner, Leaner, and More Stable

May 20, 2025

It's been a while since our last major announcement - now, we're happy to share Rabarber version 5, a new release of our role-based authorization gem for Rails.

This release focuses on cleaning up and simplifying. We dropped legacy features that only added complexity, bringing Rabarber closer to what it was always meant to be. We also added more granular authorization controls and resolved a number of issues and design flaws along the way.

With many improvements and fixes accumulated over the past year, upgrading is highly recommended. There are breaking changes, so be sure to check the migration guide.

Happy coding!
