This version of Goldberg improves support for Rails' REST and web services, along with various minor improvements and bug fixes.

Goldberg's auth/login action can now respond to XML POST requests with an appropriate status code rather than a rendered page. This makes it possible to use Goldberg as part of a secure web services framework.

REST actions can now be linked into Goldberg's menu. (Previously Goldberg only supported menu items with conventional Rails controller/action routing.)

Goldberg now caches rendered content pages, resulting in a modest improvement in request turnaround times.

Users' hashed passwords are now salted for better security. Also Goldberg now prompts for passwords with two fields on password creation or change.
