Astute readers might have already found the hint about OpenID in my tasklist. I have been pondering support for OpenID for quite some time, but decided to wait until 0.9.1. is out before diving into it.

Actually, that is not exactly true, as I did spend some time preparing for it. In particular, the code changes to extract the PHP compressor and the new PHP packer were already done with this in mind.

So, I manager to compress and pack the excellent PHP OpenID library by JanRain into a single file. Add some inspiration and code bits from Saeven OpenID and you are almost there

Unfortunately, the plugin will require code changes to ZMAccounts (well, not really changes, but upgrade to using the new ZMDatabase layer). But hopeully the next release will not take as long as the last one.

Note to self: Upgrade website with new API docs for 0.9.1 and also the demo store!
