Changes:
4.09:
=====
- SECURITY: Applying security patch from:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356555 (Julien
Danjou)
4.08:
=====
- FIX: DESTROY was sometimes wiping out exception handling. RT#18183,
Matt LeBlanc.
- SECURITY: Resolve some issues in:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=356555
- db_file and file now check for symlinks either explicitly or by
using O_EXCL on sysopen
- file creation umask defaults to 660
- NEW: db_file and file drivers now accepts a UMask option. (Matt
LeBlanc)
- INTERNAL: test suite clean up (Tyler MacDonald)
4.07:
=====
- INTERNAL: MANIFEST update to fix release.
4.06:
=====
- INTERNAL: MANIFEST update to fix release.
4.06:
=====
- FIX: some stray warnings when flushing: "Use of uninitialized value
in numeric eq (==)" (RT#14603)
- NEW: JSON and YAML serializers (Tyler MacDonald)
- INTERNAL: CGI::Session::Test::Default accepts a "skip" argument,
listing tests that should be skipped. (Tyler)
4.05:
=====
- FIX: Race condition fixed when writing to session files (RT#17949)
4.04:
=====
- NEW: File driver now has option to disable flock (for those running
Win 9x, VMS, MacPerl, VOS and RISC OS). (Matt LeBlanc)
- FIX: If DBI driver wass initialized using 'Handle',
Driver::DBI::init() returned false, and Driver::new() thought init
faild and kept returning undef. The problem was fixed by making sure
Driver::DBI::init() returned true. (Sherzod)
- Added .*cgisess.* to disclude cgisess.db, cgisess.id, and any session
files created in the t directory. (Matt LeBlanc)
- FIX: File driver now respects $CGI::Session::File::FileName for 3.9x
compatibility. (Matt LeBlanc)
- FIX: Default serializer now properly handles data structures that
appear more than once in the serialized data structure (before it'd
result in data structures that were equivalent but did not have the same
address). (Matt LeBlanc)
- FIX: File driver now localizes the filehandle to avoid any possibility
of extended locking in persistent environments (Matt LeBlanc)
- FIX: File driver now locks the file when retrieving the session data
(Matt LeBlanc)
- NEW: DBI Drivers now support a lazy loaded database handle. This is
useful with the CGI::Application plugin system. If the session is
never used, the database handle may not not need to be created. The
syntax is to use a code ref: Handle => sub {DBI->connect} (Mark
Stosberg)
Finally, be aware that since 4.0 some people have reported problems
with the auto-flushing code. There may be an unresolved. You always
call flush() to be safe. Input or code contributions for the issue
are appreciated. Some related tickets include:

4.01:
=====
- FIX: Minor POD fix

tests with your own applications before using this in production.
- NEW: PostgreSQL driver enhanced to work better with binary serializers
(Matt LeBlanc)

(Matt LeBlanc)

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
