  • Peter Baker <Peter@eBluegrass.com> fixed a typo in the POD.
  • Andrew Wild <andrew@eservers.com.au> fixed a typo in the POD.
  • Alan Sparks <asparks@cpd.harris.com> fixed a type in the POD.
  • Jay Lawrence <jlawrenc@infonium.com> changed the interface so that an undefined or false variable indicates a fresh session. Previously, only undefined was considered new.
  • Lupe Christoph <lupe@lupe-christoph.de> noticed that there was a buffer race condition in the file store, which is now fixed.
  • Changes in 1.51:
  • Added the Oracle backing store.
  • Changes in 1.50:
  • If you are upgrading from a previous version of Apache::Session, please note these changes:
  • The Apache::Session::DBI module is gone. It has been obsoleted by MySQL and Postgres. Please read the documentation for the module that corresponds with your database.
  • The semaphore locker is no longer used anywhere by default. If you want to turn it on, you need to hack the modules themselves, or us Apache::Session::Flex.
  • By default, all IDs are now 32-characters long. You can truncate them to the previous default of 16 characters by providing the IDLength argument when tieing your sessions. Note that you might also need to extend the datatype of the ID column in your database schema.
  • All of the modules have been refreshed. I suggest reading the documentation for the ones that you plan to use.
