Max Muermann has annouced the release of the MenuEngine Rails engine. He writes, “MenuEngine is a small Rails engine that can generate templated drop-down DHTML menus commonly used for web site navigation. Supports creation of menus from a YAML file, from code and from pre-configured HTML. Optionally integrates with UserEngine for authorization.”

An interesting feature is that, “If your application uses UserEngine for authorization, MenuEngine will optionally use the permissions for the current user to conditionally display only the menu items that link to controller/action pairs that the current user is authorized to use.”
