Concierge-Auth-v0.5.0

Changes for version v0.5.0 - 2026-07-05

  • BREAKING: Concierge::Auth is now a thin backend factory, not a monolithic password-auth implementation. All prior OO methods (confirm/reject/reply, validateID/validatePwd/validateFile, checkID/deleteID/checkPwd/setPwd/resetPwd, setFile/rmFile/clearFile, encryptPwd, pfile, the gen_* wrappers) are removed outright -- no deprecation shims. Code calling Concierge::Auth directly (rather than through Concierge.pm) will need to migrate to the new backend contract below.
  • Added Concierge::Auth::Base: the domain-level contract every backend must implement -- authenticate, is_id_known, enroll, change_credentials, revoke (returning { success, message, ... } hashrefs) -- plus working default implementations of the Generator methods (gen_uuid, gen_random_id, gen_random_token, gen_random_string, gen_word_phrase, gen_token, gen_crypt_token), inherited for free unless a backend overrides them.
  • Added Concierge::Auth::Pwd: the built-in password-file backend, implementing Concierge::Auth::Base on top of the previous file-backed primitives (now private to this module). Concierge::Auth->new now requires backend => 'Concierge::Auth::Pwd' (or another conforming backend class) instead of configuring a password file directly.
  • Fixed packaging: MANIFEST and Makefile.PL were missing lib/Concierge/Auth/Base.pm and lib/Concierge/Auth/Pwd.pm (both new in this release) from PM/provides -- would have shipped a CPAN distribution missing required modules.
  • Ported full t/ suite to the new contract; added factory-specific coverage (missing backend, unloadable backend class, backend constructor failure).
