What's new in Rent
The current stable release is v0.7.2. It includes optional relationship permissions, reusable model fields and permission profiles, scoped clients, typed PostgreSQL session controls, and the tutorials below. You can use Rent's ordinary data modeling and CRUD without enabling permissions.
Explore the new capabilities
Permissions express authorization. Input validation, authenticated actor stamping and cross-row business invariants remain application responsibilities. Each guide documents its supported operations and backend limits.
