1 Revision history for Perl extension Catalyst::Plugin::Session
4 - New feature: "expiry_threshold" which allows you more control over when
5 this plugin checks and updates the expiration date for the session.
6 This is useful when you have high traffic and need to reduce the number
7 of session expiration hits (like if you are using a database for sessions
8 and your db is getting pounded).
11 - Fix t/live_verify_address.t to skip if Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
12 is not installed, fixing RT#81506.
15 - Re-pack with new Module::Install which doesn't get
17 - Remove use of Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv from the tests
18 as it was not used / needed
21 - Implement a 'change_session_expires' method (gshank)
23 - Fixed bug from last version where session does not persist
27 - Fixed up t/live_verify_address.t per https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71142
28 - Merged in dpetrov's 0.32 changes (extend_session_expire)
31 - Note that flash is deprecated / not recommended due to it's
32 inherent races. Point out Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage instead
35 - Fix handling with enables verify_address and add related test
38 - Fix session being loaded by call to dump_these in debug mode
42 - Fix Makefile.PL's is_upgrading_needed() routine (RT #58771)
45 - Fix session being deleted when you have a new session after session
46 expiry when calling session_is_valid method. Tests for this.
47 - Allow ->session to be used as a setter method so that you can say
48 ->session( key => $value );
51 - Fix session fixation test with LWP 5.833 by calling $cookie_jar->set_cookie
52 rather than manually stuffing the cookie in the request.
55 - Release 0.26_01 as stable without further changes.
58 - Move actions out of the root application class in tests as this
60 - Change configuration key to 'Plugin::Session' by default. The
61 old 'session' key is still supported, but will issue a warning
65 - Remove Test::MockObject from the test suite as prone to failing on
66 some platforms and perl versions due to it's UNIVERSAL:: package
70 - Add the a change_session_id method which can be called after
71 authentication to change the user's session cookie whilst preserving
72 their session data. This can be used to provide protection from
73 Session Fixation attacks. (kmx)
76 - Be more paranoid about getting values of $c->req to avoid issues
77 with old Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst.
78 - Check we have a modern version of TWMC before doing the tests which
82 - Add the verify_user_agent config parameter (kmx)
83 - Add a test case to prove that logging in with a session cookie still
84 causes a new cookie to be issued for you, proving that the code is
85 not vulnerable to a session fixation attack. (t0m)
88 - INSANE HACK to ensure B::Hooks::EndOfScope inlines us a new method right now
89 in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store for Catalyst 5.80004 compatibility.
91 This change does not in any way affect normal users - it is just due to the
92 fairly crazy way that Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store works, and that
93 module is _only_ used for unit testing session store plugins pre-installation.
95 Session::Test::Store should be replaced with a more sane solution, and other
96 CPAN modules using it moved away from using it, but this change keeps stops
97 new Catalyst breaking other distributions right now.
100 - Hide the internal packages in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store from PAUSE.
101 - Convert from CAF to Moose with Moosex::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
104 - No code changes since 0.19_01 dev release.
105 - Add IDEAS.txt which is an irc log of discussion about the next-generation
106 session plugin from discussion on #catalyst-dev
107 - Remove TODO file, which is no longer relevant.
110 - Switch from using NEXT to Class::C3 for method re-dispatch.
111 - Use shipit to package the dist.
112 - Switch to Module::install.
113 - Flash data is now stored inside the session (key "__flash") to avoid
114 duplicate entry errors caused by simultaneous select/insert/delete of
115 flash rows when using DBI as a Store. (Sergio Salvi)
116 - Fix session finalization order that caused HTTP responses to be sent
117 before the session is actually finalized and stored in its Store.
123 - Fix Apache engine issue (RT #28845)
126 - Skip a test if Cookie is not installed (RT #28137)
132 - Fix the bug that caused sessions to expire immediately when another
133 session was deleted previously in the same request cycle
134 - Changed finalize() to redispatch before saving session
135 so other finalize methods still have access to it.
138 - Disable verify_address.
139 - update flash to work like session
142 - Rerelease with slightly changed test due to a behavior change in
145 - improve debug logging
148 - refactor out a hookable finalize_session method, for plugins
149 - make _clear_session_instance_data call NEXT::, so that plugins can
153 - Lazify expiry calculation and store it in a different instance data
154 slot. This provides greater flexibility for implementing hooks like
155 DynamicExpiry the "right" way.
158 - Implement a more well defined finalization order for Session stuff.
159 This solves a problem that was introduced by some value cleanups in
163 - Fix Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store
166 - rerelease because Module::Bane broke the META.yml. HURAAH
169 - Make build tool complain loudly on incompatible versions of state
173 - Change State plugin API to be pull oriented
174 - Lazify more correctly (mostly performance improvements)
175 - Don't try to compute digest of hash when there is no hash
178 - Un-workaround the Cache::FastMmap (actually Storable) limitation -
179 it's not C::P::Session's business.
180 - add $c->session_expires
182 - improve semantics of session deletion (now deletes flash data too)
183 - improve lazy-load-ness of session data in the light of expiration
185 0.04 2005-12-28 09:42:00
186 - Work around a limitation in Cache::FastMmap - must store only
187 references, while expiration was an NV.
189 0.03 2005-12-26 10:22:00
190 - Lazify loading of session data for better performance and less chance
192 - support for $c->flash a la Ruby on Rails
193 - Fixed bug in sessionid algorithm detection.
194 - Separate __expires from the session data - we write it every time
195 - Lazify saving of session data for better performance and less chance
198 0.02 2005-11-23 09:40:00
200 - No more -Engine=Test
