1 Revision history for Perl extension Catalyst::Plugin::Session
4 - Add a flag so that a storage can finalize during finalize_header rather
5 than finalize_body. This is to enable storages that need to write to the
6 HTTP header (such as the cookie based store).
9 - Fixed a bug when "expiry_threshold" is non-zero, where changes to the
10 session were not saved.
13 - New feature: "expiry_threshold" which allows you more control over when
14 this plugin checks and updates the expiration date for the session.
15 This is useful when you have high traffic and need to reduce the number
16 of session expiration hits (like if you are using a database for sessions
17 and your db is getting pounded).
20 - Fix t/live_verify_address.t to skip if Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
21 is not installed, fixing RT#81506.
24 - Re-pack with new Module::Install which doesn't get
26 - Remove use of Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv from the tests
27 as it was not used / needed
30 - Implement a 'change_session_expires' method (gshank)
32 - Fixed bug from last version where session does not persist
36 - Fixed up t/live_verify_address.t per https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71142
37 - Merged in dpetrov's 0.32 changes (extend_session_expire)
40 - Note that flash is deprecated / not recommended due to it's
41 inherent races. Point out Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage instead
44 - Fix handling with enables verify_address and add related test
47 - Fix session being loaded by call to dump_these in debug mode
51 - Fix Makefile.PL's is_upgrading_needed() routine (RT #58771)
54 - Fix session being deleted when you have a new session after session
55 expiry when calling session_is_valid method. Tests for this.
56 - Allow ->session to be used as a setter method so that you can say
57 ->session( key => $value );
60 - Fix session fixation test with LWP 5.833 by calling $cookie_jar->set_cookie
61 rather than manually stuffing the cookie in the request.
64 - Release 0.26_01 as stable without further changes.
67 - Move actions out of the root application class in tests as this
69 - Change configuration key to 'Plugin::Session' by default. The
70 old 'session' key is still supported, but will issue a warning
74 - Remove Test::MockObject from the test suite as prone to failing on
75 some platforms and perl versions due to it's UNIVERSAL:: package
79 - Add the a change_session_id method which can be called after
80 authentication to change the user's session cookie whilst preserving
81 their session data. This can be used to provide protection from
82 Session Fixation attacks. (kmx)
85 - Be more paranoid about getting values of $c->req to avoid issues
86 with old Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst.
87 - Check we have a modern version of TWMC before doing the tests which
91 - Add the verify_user_agent config parameter (kmx)
92 - Add a test case to prove that logging in with a session cookie still
93 causes a new cookie to be issued for you, proving that the code is
94 not vulnerable to a session fixation attack. (t0m)
97 - INSANE HACK to ensure B::Hooks::EndOfScope inlines us a new method right now
98 in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store for Catalyst 5.80004 compatibility.
100 This change does not in any way affect normal users - it is just due to the
101 fairly crazy way that Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store works, and that
102 module is _only_ used for unit testing session store plugins pre-installation.
104 Session::Test::Store should be replaced with a more sane solution, and other
105 CPAN modules using it moved away from using it, but this change keeps stops
106 new Catalyst breaking other distributions right now.
109 - Hide the internal packages in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store from PAUSE.
110 - Convert from CAF to Moose with Moosex::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
113 - No code changes since 0.19_01 dev release.
114 - Add IDEAS.txt which is an irc log of discussion about the next-generation
115 session plugin from discussion on #catalyst-dev
116 - Remove TODO file, which is no longer relevant.
119 - Switch from using NEXT to Class::C3 for method re-dispatch.
120 - Use shipit to package the dist.
121 - Switch to Module::install.
122 - Flash data is now stored inside the session (key "__flash") to avoid
123 duplicate entry errors caused by simultaneous select/insert/delete of
124 flash rows when using DBI as a Store. (Sergio Salvi)
125 - Fix session finalization order that caused HTTP responses to be sent
126 before the session is actually finalized and stored in its Store.
132 - Fix Apache engine issue (RT #28845)
135 - Skip a test if Cookie is not installed (RT #28137)
141 - Fix the bug that caused sessions to expire immediately when another
142 session was deleted previously in the same request cycle
143 - Changed finalize() to redispatch before saving session
144 so other finalize methods still have access to it.
147 - Disable verify_address.
148 - update flash to work like session
151 - Rerelease with slightly changed test due to a behavior change in
154 - improve debug logging
157 - refactor out a hookable finalize_session method, for plugins
158 - make _clear_session_instance_data call NEXT::, so that plugins can
162 - Lazify expiry calculation and store it in a different instance data
163 slot. This provides greater flexibility for implementing hooks like
164 DynamicExpiry the "right" way.
167 - Implement a more well defined finalization order for Session stuff.
168 This solves a problem that was introduced by some value cleanups in
172 - Fix Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store
175 - rerelease because Module::Bane broke the META.yml. HURAAH
178 - Make build tool complain loudly on incompatible versions of state
182 - Change State plugin API to be pull oriented
183 - Lazify more correctly (mostly performance improvements)
184 - Don't try to compute digest of hash when there is no hash
187 - Un-workaround the Cache::FastMmap (actually Storable) limitation -
188 it's not C::P::Session's business.
189 - add $c->session_expires
191 - improve semantics of session deletion (now deletes flash data too)
192 - improve lazy-load-ness of session data in the light of expiration
194 0.04 2005-12-28 09:42:00
195 - Work around a limitation in Cache::FastMmap - must store only
196 references, while expiration was an NV.
198 0.03 2005-12-26 10:22:00
199 - Lazify loading of session data for better performance and less chance
201 - support for $c->flash a la Ruby on Rails
202 - Fixed bug in sessionid algorithm detection.
203 - Separate __expires from the session data - we write it every time
204 - Lazify saving of session data for better performance and less chance
207 0.02 2005-11-23 09:40:00
209 - No more -Engine=Test
