I’ve just pushed two plugins to github. The first is an improvement on the standard Defensio plugin that only checks the validity of your API key when posting articles or comments. This is better than checking each time a model that uses the plugin is instantiated as it doesn’t require contact with the Defensio API (so is faster) and also won’t bring your site to a standstill if someone is just viewing a page and the Defensio service is down.
The second updates the highly useful timed fragment cache plugin by Richard Livsey to support Rails 2.1
