Changes

=== Core Umlaut Files Added or Updated ===

Several core Umlaut files were updated in order to develop the UmlautAuth module.

The application controller was updated to filter passwords and provide two methods for accessing the current user session and the current user. The method current_user_session (aliased as has_logged_in_user) returns nil if no user session has been established. The method current_user (aliased as logged_in_user) return either nil or the current logged in user.

The user sessions controller manages the routing of user session requests. Three methods are available:

# new - renders the login screen or redirects to external login screen

# validate - validates the user upon login

# destroy - processes logout

The users controller manages the routing of user related requests. Two methods are available:

# edit (also called from show) - renders the user preferences screen.
