0.40 2015-01-26
- Add a flag so that a storage can finalize during finalize_header rather
than finalize_body. This is to enable storages that need to write to the
HTTP header (such as the cookie based store).
Revision history for Perl extension Catalyst::Plugin::Session
0.39 2013-10-16
- Fixed a bug when "expiry_threshold" is non-zero, where changes to the
session were not saved.
0.38 2013-09-18
- New feature: "expiry_threshold" which allows you more control over when
this plugin checks and updates the expiration date for the session.
This is useful when you have high traffic and need to reduce the number
of session expiration hits (like if you are using a database for sessions
and your db is getting pounded).
Upstream changes:
0.37 2013-02-25
- Fix t/live_verify_address.t to skip of Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication
is not installed, fixing RT#81506.
0.36 2012-10-19
- Re-pack with new Module::Install which doesn't get
MYMETA.yaml wrong.
- Remove use of Plack::Middleware::ForceEnv from the tests
as it was not used / needed
0.35 2012-04-24
- Implement a 'change_session_expires' method (gshank)
- Fixed bug from last version where session does not persist
across a redirect
0.34 2012-03-30
- Fixed up t/live_verify_address.t per https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=71142
- Merged in dpetrov's 0.32 changes (extend_session_expire)
0.33 2012-03-08
- Note that flash is deprecated / not recommended due to it's
inherent races. Point out Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage instead
Changelog:
0.32 2011-06-08
- Fix handling with enables verify_address and add related test
0.31 2010-10-08
- Fix session being loaded by call to dump_these in debug mode
(RT#58856)
Upstream changes:
0.29 2009-11-04
- Fix session being deleted when you have a new session after session
expiry when calling session_is_valid method. Tests for this.
- Allow ->session to be used as a setter method so that you can say
->session( key => $value );
0.28 2009-10-29
- Fix session fixation test with LWP 5.833 by calling $cookie_jar->set_cookie
rather than manually stuffing the cookie in the request.
Upstream changes:
0.27 2009-10-08
- Release 0.26_01 as stable without further changes.
0.26_01 2009-10-06
- Move actions out of the root application class in tests as this
is deprecated.
- Change configuration key to 'Plugin::Session' by default. The
old 'session' key is still supported, but will issue a warning
in a future release.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting dependencies according to META.yml
Upstream changes:
0.26 2009-08-19
- Remove Test::MockObject from the test suite as prone to failing on
some platforms and perl versions due to it's UNIVERSAL:: package
dependencies.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting license (now we have ${PERL5_LICENSE}
Upstream changes:
0.25 2009-0708
- Add the a change_session_id method which can be called after
authentication to change the user's session cookie whilst preserving
their session data. This can be used to provide protection from
Session Fixation attacks. (kmx)
meta-data (dependencies, master site).
Upstream changes:
0.24 2009-06-23
- Be more paranoid about getting values of $c->req to avoid issues
with old Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst.
- Check we have a modern version of TWMC before doing the tests which
need it.
0.23 2009-06-16
- Add the verify_user_agent config parameter (kmx)
- Add a test case to prove that logging in with a session cookie still
causes a new cookie to be issued for you, proving that the code is
not vulnerable to a session fixation attack. (t0m)
- Updating package for p5 module Catalyst::Plugin::Session from 0.21 to
0.22
Upstream changes:
0.22 2009-05-13
- INSANE HACK to ensure B::Hooks::EndOfScope inlines us a new method right now
in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store for Catalyst 5.80004 compatibility.
This change does not in any way affect normal users - it is just due to the
fairly crazy way that Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store works, and that
module is _only_ used for unit testing session store plugins pre-installation.
Session::Test::Store should be replaced with a more sane solution, and other
CPAN modules using it moved away from using it, but this change keeps stops
new Catalyst breaking other distributions right now.
- Updating package for p5 module of Catalyst::Plugin::Session from 0.20
to 0.21
- Setting license to gnu-gpl-v2
- Adjusting depends
Upstream changes:
0.21 2009-04-30
- Hide the internal packages in Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Test::Store from PAUSE.
- Convert from CAF to Moose with Moosex::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
Pkgsrc changes:
o Adjust dependencies to account for new requirements
o Move some dependencies into BUILD_DEPENDS, since they're
only required for "make test".
Upstream changes:
0.20 2009-02-05
- No code changes since 0.19_01 dev release.
- Add IDEAS.txt which is an irc log of discussion about the
next-generation session plugin from discussion on #catalyst-dev
- Remove TODO file, which is no longer relevant.
0.19_01 2009-01-09
- Switch from using NEXT to Class::C3 for method re-dispatch.
- Use shipit to package the dist.
- Switch to Module::install.
- Flash data is now stored inside the session (key "__flash") to avoid
duplicate entry errors caused by simultaneous select/insert/delete of
flash rows when using DBI as a Store. (Sergio Salvi)
- Fix session finalization order that caused HTTP responses to be sent
before the session is actually finalized and stored in its Store.
(Sergio Salvi)
The Session plugin is the base of two related parts of functionality
required for session management in web applications.
The first part, the State, is getting the browser to repeat back a
session key, so that the web application can identify the client and
logically string several requests together into a session.
The second part, the Store, deals with the actual storage of information
about the client. This data is stored so that the it may be revived for
every request made by the same client.
This plugin links the two pieces together.
