1 Revision history for Perl extension Catalyst::Plugin::Session
4 - Don't let an evil session ID supplier have an easy XSS vector (Michael McClimon++)
7 - Add a flag so that a storage can finalize during finalize_header rather
8 than finalize_body. This is to enable storages that need to write to the
9 HTTP header (such as the cookie based store).
12 - Fixed a bug when "expiry_threshold" is non-zero, where changes to the
13 session were not saved.
16 - New feature: "expiry_threshold" which allows you more control over when
17 this plugin checks and updates the expiration date for the session.
18 This is useful when you have high traffic and need to reduce the number
19 of session expiration hits (like if you are using a database for sessions
20 and your db is getting pounded).
23 - Fix t/live_verify_address.t to skip if Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
24 is not installed, fixing RT#81506.
27 - Re-pack with new Module::Install which doesn't get
29 - Remove use of Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv from the tests
30 as it was not used / needed
33 - Implement a 'change_session_expires' method (gshank)
35 - Fixed bug from last version where session does not persist
39 - Fixed up t/live_verify_address.t per https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71142
40 - Merged in dpetrov's 0.32 changes (extend_session_expire)
43 - Note that flash is deprecated / not recommended due to it's
44 inherent races. Point out Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage instead
47 - Fix handling with enables verify_address and add related test
50 - Fix session being loaded by call to dump_these in debug mode
54 - Fix Makefile.PL's is_upgrading_needed() routine (RT #58771)
57 - Fix session being deleted when you have a new session after session
58 expiry when calling session_is_valid method. Tests for this.
59 - Allow ->session to be used as a setter method so that you can say
60 ->session( key => $value );
63 - Fix session fixation test with LWP 5.833 by calling $cookie_jar->set_cookie
64 rather than manually stuffing the cookie in the request.
67 - Release 0.26_01 as stable without further changes.
70 - Move actions out of the root application class in tests as this
72 - Change configuration key to 'Plugin::Session' by default. The
73 old 'session' key is still supported, but will issue a warning
77 - Remove Test::MockObject from the test suite as prone to failing on
78 some platforms and perl versions due to it's UNIVERSAL:: package
82 - Add the a change_session_id method which can be called after
83 authentication to change the user's session cookie whilst preserving
84 their session data. This can be used to provide protection from
85 Session Fixation attacks. (kmx)
88 - Be more paranoid about getting values of $c->req to avoid issues
89 with old Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst.
90 - Check we have a modern version of TWMC before doing the tests which
94 - Add the verify_user_agent config parameter (kmx)
95 - Add a test case to prove that logging in with a session cookie still
96 causes a new cookie to be issued for you, proving that the code is
97 not vulnerable to a session fixation attack. (t0m)
100 - INSANE HACK to ensure B::Hooks::EndOfScope inlines us a new method right now
101 in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store for Catalyst 5.80004 compatibility.
103 This change does not in any way affect normal users - it is just due to the
104 fairly crazy way that Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store works, and that
105 module is _only_ used for unit testing session store plugins pre-installation.
107 Session::Test::Store should be replaced with a more sane solution, and other
108 CPAN modules using it moved away from using it, but this change keeps stops
109 new Catalyst breaking other distributions right now.
112 - Hide the internal packages in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store from PAUSE.
113 - Convert from CAF to Moose with Moosex::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
116 - No code changes since 0.19_01 dev release.
117 - Add IDEAS.txt which is an irc log of discussion about the next-generation
118 session plugin from discussion on #catalyst-dev
119 - Remove TODO file, which is no longer relevant.
122 - Switch from using NEXT to Class::C3 for method re-dispatch.
123 - Use shipit to package the dist.
124 - Switch to Module::install.
125 - Flash data is now stored inside the session (key "__flash") to avoid
126 duplicate entry errors caused by simultaneous select/insert/delete of
127 flash rows when using DBI as a Store. (Sergio Salvi)
128 - Fix session finalization order that caused HTTP responses to be sent
129 before the session is actually finalized and stored in its Store.
135 - Fix Apache engine issue (RT #28845)
138 - Skip a test if Cookie is not installed (RT #28137)
144 - Fix the bug that caused sessions to expire immediately when another
145 session was deleted previously in the same request cycle
146 - Changed finalize() to redispatch before saving session
147 so other finalize methods still have access to it.
150 - Disable verify_address.
151 - update flash to work like session
154 - Rerelease with slightly changed test due to a behavior change in
157 - improve debug logging
160 - refactor out a hookable finalize_session method, for plugins
161 - make _clear_session_instance_data call NEXT::, so that plugins can
165 - Lazify expiry calculation and store it in a different instance data
166 slot. This provides greater flexibility for implementing hooks like
167 DynamicExpiry the "right" way.
170 - Implement a more well defined finalization order for Session stuff.
171 This solves a problem that was introduced by some value cleanups in
175 - Fix Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store
178 - rerelease because Module::Bane broke the META.yml. HURAAH
181 - Make build tool complain loudly on incompatible versions of state
185 - Change State plugin API to be pull oriented
186 - Lazify more correctly (mostly performance improvements)
187 - Don't try to compute digest of hash when there is no hash
190 - Un-workaround the Cache::FastMmap (actually Storable) limitation -
191 it's not C::P::Session's business.
192 - add $c->session_expires
194 - improve semantics of session deletion (now deletes flash data too)
195 - improve lazy-load-ness of session data in the light of expiration
197 0.04 2005-12-28 09:42:00
198 - Work around a limitation in Cache::FastMmap - must store only
199 references, while expiration was an NV.
201 0.03 2005-12-26 10:22:00
202 - Lazify loading of session data for better performance and less chance
204 - support for $c->flash a la Ruby on Rails
205 - Fixed bug in sessionid algorithm detection.
206 - Separate __expires from the session data - we write it every time
207 - Lazify saving of session data for better performance and less chance
210 0.02 2005-11-23 09:40:00
212 - No more -Engine=Test
