Sentry 2 - PHP Auth Library http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12680/sentry-2-php-auth-library

Sentry is an open source PHP 5.3+ fully-featured authentication & authorization system. It also provides additional features such as user groups and security features. It's framework agnostic (composer), so it can be installed on Laravel, CodeIgniter, etc. They recently released their official docs and I really like how the interface works.

Matchbox for CodeIgniter Has A New Competitor http://mitchmckenna.com/post/5145/matchbox-for-codeigniter-has-a-new-competitor

Matchbox is a modular system, which means you can group your controllers, models and views for a specific section of the site together. There's a new competitor called Modular Separation. Modular Separation is purely PHP 5 which gives it a slight edge over Matchbox from the get-go as it can leave out a lot of the extra PHP 4 support and go right for the much cleaner & quicker full OOP approach. It also includes 404 routing.

Popular CodeIgniter PyroCMS has now been converted to use Modular Separation and it has shaved a few 100ths of a second off here and there. I am not suggestion you drop Matchbox right now, but give it a try if you are starting a new project.

Check out the thread in the CodeIgniter forums here: http://forum.codeigniter.com/printthread.php?tid=31788
