As this year's Google Summer of Code pencils down date has passed, with great pleasure I announce that CL-OpenID version 1.0 Release Candidate 1 is out.

Cl-OpenID is an implementation of OpenID protocol in Common Lisp. It implements OpenID Authentication 2.0 standard and is compatible with OpenID Authentication 1.1. Both Relying Party (formerly called OpenID Consumer), and OpenID Provider are implemented.

CL-OpenID is available on terms of GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 with Franz Inc.'s preamble, also known as LLGPL (Lisp Lesser General Public License).

The project has been developed as a Google Summer of Code 2008 project, developed by Maciej Pasternacki and mentored by Anton Vodonosov. Original application is published at.
