1 Revision history for Perl extension Catalyst::Plugin::Session
3 - Fixed a bug where the session signature wasn't updated on save
6 - Fixed a bug when "expiry_threshold" is non-zero, where changes to the
7 session were not saved.
10 - New feature: "expiry_threshold" which allows you more control over when
11 this plugin checks and updates the expiration date for the session.
12 This is useful when you have high traffic and need to reduce the number
13 of session expiration hits (like if you are using a database for sessions
14 and your db is getting pounded).
17 - Fix t/live_verify_address.t to skip if Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
18 is not installed, fixing RT#81506.
21 - Re-pack with new Module::Install which doesn't get
23 - Remove use of Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv from the tests
24 as it was not used / needed
27 - Implement a 'change_session_expires' method (gshank)
29 - Fixed bug from last version where session does not persist
33 - Fixed up t/live_verify_address.t per https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71142
34 - Merged in dpetrov's 0.32 changes (extend_session_expire)
37 - Note that flash is deprecated / not recommended due to it's
38 inherent races. Point out Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage instead
41 - Fix handling with enables verify_address and add related test
44 - Fix session being loaded by call to dump_these in debug mode
48 - Fix Makefile.PL's is_upgrading_needed() routine (RT #58771)
51 - Fix session being deleted when you have a new session after session
52 expiry when calling session_is_valid method. Tests for this.
53 - Allow ->session to be used as a setter method so that you can say
54 ->session( key => $value );
57 - Fix session fixation test with LWP 5.833 by calling $cookie_jar->set_cookie
58 rather than manually stuffing the cookie in the request.
61 - Release 0.26_01 as stable without further changes.
64 - Move actions out of the root application class in tests as this
66 - Change configuration key to 'Plugin::Session' by default. The
67 old 'session' key is still supported, but will issue a warning
71 - Remove Test::MockObject from the test suite as prone to failing on
72 some platforms and perl versions due to it's UNIVERSAL:: package
76 - Add the a change_session_id method which can be called after
77 authentication to change the user's session cookie whilst preserving
78 their session data. This can be used to provide protection from
79 Session Fixation attacks. (kmx)
82 - Be more paranoid about getting values of $c->req to avoid issues
83 with old Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst.
84 - Check we have a modern version of TWMC before doing the tests which
88 - Add the verify_user_agent config parameter (kmx)
89 - Add a test case to prove that logging in with a session cookie still
90 causes a new cookie to be issued for you, proving that the code is
91 not vulnerable to a session fixation attack. (t0m)
94 - INSANE HACK to ensure B::Hooks::EndOfScope inlines us a new method right now
95 in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store for Catalyst 5.80004 compatibility.
97 This change does not in any way affect normal users - it is just due to the
98 fairly crazy way that Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store works, and that
99 module is _only_ used for unit testing session store plugins pre-installation.
101 Session::Test::Store should be replaced with a more sane solution, and other
102 CPAN modules using it moved away from using it, but this change keeps stops
103 new Catalyst breaking other distributions right now.
106 - Hide the internal packages in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store from PAUSE.
107 - Convert from CAF to Moose with Moosex::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
110 - No code changes since 0.19_01 dev release.
111 - Add IDEAS.txt which is an irc log of discussion about the next-generation
112 session plugin from discussion on #catalyst-dev
113 - Remove TODO file, which is no longer relevant.
116 - Switch from using NEXT to Class::C3 for method re-dispatch.
117 - Use shipit to package the dist.
118 - Switch to Module::install.
119 - Flash data is now stored inside the session (key "__flash") to avoid
120 duplicate entry errors caused by simultaneous select/insert/delete of
121 flash rows when using DBI as a Store. (Sergio Salvi)
122 - Fix session finalization order that caused HTTP responses to be sent
123 before the session is actually finalized and stored in its Store.
129 - Fix Apache engine issue (RT #28845)
132 - Skip a test if Cookie is not installed (RT #28137)
138 - Fix the bug that caused sessions to expire immediately when another
139 session was deleted previously in the same request cycle
140 - Changed finalize() to redispatch before saving session
141 so other finalize methods still have access to it.
144 - Disable verify_address.
145 - update flash to work like session
148 - Rerelease with slightly changed test due to a behavior change in
151 - improve debug logging
154 - refactor out a hookable finalize_session method, for plugins
155 - make _clear_session_instance_data call NEXT::, so that plugins can
159 - Lazify expiry calculation and store it in a different instance data
160 slot. This provides greater flexibility for implementing hooks like
161 DynamicExpiry the "right" way.
164 - Implement a more well defined finalization order for Session stuff.
165 This solves a problem that was introduced by some value cleanups in
169 - Fix Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store
172 - rerelease because Module::Bane broke the META.yml. HURAAH
175 - Make build tool complain loudly on incompatible versions of state
179 - Change State plugin API to be pull oriented
180 - Lazify more correctly (mostly performance improvements)
181 - Don't try to compute digest of hash when there is no hash
184 - Un-workaround the Cache::FastMmap (actually Storable) limitation -
185 it's not C::P::Session's business.
186 - add $c->session_expires
188 - improve semantics of session deletion (now deletes flash data too)
189 - improve lazy-load-ness of session data in the light of expiration
191 0.04 2005-12-28 09:42:00
192 - Work around a limitation in Cache::FastMmap - must store only
193 references, while expiration was an NV.
195 0.03 2005-12-26 10:22:00
196 - Lazify loading of session data for better performance and less chance
198 - support for $c->flash a la Ruby on Rails
199 - Fixed bug in sessionid algorithm detection.
200 - Separate __expires from the session data - we write it every time
201 - Lazify saving of session data for better performance and less chance
204 0.02 2005-11-23 09:40:00
206 - No more -Engine=Test
