Description: 
        
        Overview
        --------
        
        membrane is a set of PluggableAuthService (PAS) plug-ins that allow
        for the user-related behaviour and data (authentication, properties,
        roles, groups, etc.) to be obtained from content within a Plone
        site.  It does not actually provide a full member implementation, it
        is intended to be a set of tools from which a full implementation
        can be constructed.  It is meant to be flexible and pluggable, and
        easy to adapt to different deployment scenarios. It is not meant to
        be configured through-the-web-only, but to be adapted by filesystem
        code.
        
        membrane tries to take a step backwards and re-think some of the
        Plone membership-handling. We have tried to make it as simple as
        possible, so that grasping and extending it is simple. Hopefully,
        simplicity should also make it easier to make sure it is secure.
        
        For information about the "why?" of membrane, and some policies for
        helping out, please see 'MANIFESTO.txt'.
        
        
        Requirements
        ------------
        
        - Zope 2.9.6
        - Plone 2.5.2
        
        Please see docs/INSTALL.txt for installation instructions.
        
        
        ---------
        WARNING!!
        ---------
        
        Currently, a catalog is used to index the interfaces implemented by
        the objects in the portal.  However, interfaces are specified
        programmatically, either via Python code or ZCML.  Any time Zope is
        restarted, interfaces may have changed, and, if they have, the
        catalog will have become out of date.  Work is under way on a more
        robust interface lookup solution, but for now if you change the
        interfaces implemented on any membrane related type or object, you
        may need to explicitly reindex the 'object_implements' interface on
        the membrane_tool.

        (name of developer listed in brackets)
        
        1.1b4 Released March 20, 2009
        
        - Tested with Plone 3.0-3.2 [rossp]
        
        - Add a warning about upcoming changes to object_implements
        [rossp]
        
        - Deprecate the category mapper support [rossp]
        
        - Deprecate AT assumptions [rossp]
        
        - Provide the offending login name when more than one match
        [witsch]
        
        - Fix AttributeError bug when the search term is None [claytron]
        
        - Distinguish btn substring matches and case-insensitive matches
        for userid and username when supporting case-insensitive logins
        [rafrombrc]
        
        - Only use the membrane user factory plug-in for users for whom
        membrane provides authentication.
        [rafrombrc]
        
        1.1b3 Released July 23, 2008
        
        - Fix issue with retrieving unnamed user adders.
        [witsch]
        
        - Remove counter again as the membrane tool inherits from Plone's
        catalog tool, which already has support for a counter.  Keep the
        test and caching helper, though. :)
        [witsch]
        
        1.1b2 Released July 22, 2008
        
        - Add a counter to the membrane tool which can be used as a cache key as
        well as a convenience helper for quickly memoizing adapters and tools.
        [witsch]
        
        - Have rolemanager and groupmanager search for exact userids.
        [mj]
        
        1.1b1 Released May 22, 2008
        
        - Initial egg release.

        Please see ``Products/membrane/doc/HISTORY.txt`` for the changelog of
        previous, non-eggified versions.
