Revision history for Perl extension Data::Session.
1.18 2017-08-14T11:13:00
- Adopt new repo structure. See
- Replace File::Slurp with File::Slurper to help fix CPAN Tester error reports.
- Use File::Temp to replace hard-coded occurances of /tmp in t/*.ini. This is in response
to reports from CPAN Testers.
- Reformat Makefile.PL, and update bugtracker to github.
- Switch from the Artistic licence to the Perl one.
1.17 2015-02-14T09:38:00
- Fix a bug in Data::Session.get_my_drivers(). See RT#111844. Many thanx to Slaven Rezic
for the report, diagnosis and patch.
- Reformat the dates in this file, and hence in Changelog.ini from - e.g. -
'Mon Feb 8 08:45:00 2015' to what you see above.
- Reformat lines in this file, and in the docs, to be no more that 100 chars long.
- Move t/pod.t into xt/authors.
1.16 2014-04-03T17:53:00
- Rewrite a bit of code which used 'each', to not update the hash being processed, because
Thanx to Reini Urban for that article.
1.15 2013-06-21T11:43:00
- Update pre-reqs thus: Pragmas shipped with Perl are now version 0 only. This means they are
expected to be present, but a specific version # is not important. As per advice by
Father C. (for a different module). Pragmas affected: autovivification, overload, parent,
strict, vars and warnings.
- Update various other module version pre-reqs, including CGI to V 3.63. The test for equality
in t/basic.t for CGI cookies and HTTP header failed on CGI V 3.53, and work has been done
in CGI V 3.63 in that area. Hopefully this pre-req change fixes that problem (which was
detected on 1 CPAN Tester machine).
1.14 2013-06-19T17:07:00
- No code changes.
- Rename CHANGES to Changes as per CPAN::Changes::SPEC.
- Update pre-reqs.
1.13 2012-05-03T11:23:00
- In parse_options(), the result of parsing the 'type' (driver:Pg;id:MD5;serialize:DataDumper)
was printed both for verbose == 1 and verbose > 1. Now it's only printed if verbose > 1.
- Apart from the above, no other code changes. Just additions to the docs, as follows...
- Add important section to the docs, under FAQ: Guidelines re Sources of Confusion.
(a) Firstly, explain (with examples) the difference (for CGI::Snapp-derived scripts)
between:
$self -> param(a_key => 'a_value');
and
$self -> param('session') -> param(a_key => 'a_value');
(b) Explain at what stage in a CGI script flush() should be called.
(c) Then, explain (with examples) that:
$self -> param('session') -> param(a_hash => %a_hash);
will fail, and you must use a hashref:
$self -> param('session') -> param(a_hash => {%a_hash});
Likewise for arrays 'v' arrayrefs.
1.12 2012-04-24T15:13:00
- After prompting by William Bulley (many thanx!) I found a range of issues which have been
addressed:
- Some combinations of options to new() triggered an unjustifiable die, so code in
validate_options() has been simplified.
- Add new demos in scripts/: cgi.demo.cgi (CGI script), cgi.sha1.pl (command line script),
and file.sha1.pl.
- Copy scripts/cgi.demo.cgi into the Synopsis, since such a self-contained CGI demo was lacking.
- Copy scripts/file.sha1.pl into the Synopsis, to go with scripts/file.autoincrement.pl. These
demonstrate the different uses of file_name and id_file as options to new().
- Clean up some typos within the other demo code in the Synopsis.
- Clean up similar typos in scripts/file.autoincrement.pl.
- Expand the discussion of how certain options to new() interact. See Combinations of Options.
- Fix various typos throughout the PODs.
- Switch from Module::Load to Class::Load.
- Change the versions of the pre-reqs to correspond to what was available with Perl V 5.10.1.
1.11 2011-07-08T11:17:00
- Replace DBIx::Admin::DSNManager with Config::Tiny, to make it easier to put Data::Session into
Debian.
- In Build.PL, shift DBIx::Admin::CreateTable from requires to build_requires. Config::Tiny goes
there too.
- In the test code, change both sleeps from 2 to 3 seconds, to see if that solves rare test
failures.
- In the test code, use File::Basename's fileparse rather than a regexp to see if the SQLite
directory exists. This should fix some test failures under Windows.
1.10 2011-06-21T16:42:00
- After some marvellous debugging by Jeff Lavallee, one of the CPAN testers, I've changed
O_RDONLY to O_RDWR in Data::Session::Driver::File, to deal with a flock problem. This code
was copied from CGI::Session, which may therefore still have the same problem.
- Also, $! is now included in error messages, both in Data::Session::Driver::File and
Data::Session::ID::AutoIncrement. Because this reveals directories in paths, $! is only
displayed when new(debug => 1) is used in Data::Session.
1.09 2011-06-17T14:22:00
- Revert change in 1.08, which produces errors during global destruction.
This means, to save a session, you must store something in it, to force the session to be
modified.
- Duplicate, briefly, the explanation of sessions and flushing, as the new first point in the
FAQ.
- Changes some debug messages (relating to session and parameter expiry) which were ambiguous.
1.08 2011-06-17T13:07:00
- Ensure new sessions, and not just modified ones, are written during flush().
1.07 Mon May 16 9:23:00 2011
- Remove redundant declaration of id() in Data::Session::ID::Static, which was producing the
message: field "id" redefined or overridden at ... line 10.
1.06 2011-05-12T12:01:00
- No code changes.
- Patch the tests to parse the DSN more closely, to skip tests if the SQLite directory /tmp
does not exist. This directory is present in t/basic.ini and t/bulk.ini.
1.05 2011-04-12T13:11:00
- Eliminate references to /tmp by using File::Temp::newdir. This applies to docs and various
scripts/*.pl.
- Patch t/Test.pm to use DBI.
- Patch t/basic.t to avoid a used once error on $BerkeleyDB::Error.
- Add configure_requires => { 'Module::Build' => 0.38 } to Build.PL.
- Reformat Build.PL and Makefile.PL now that we've reverted from Padre to Emacs (due to install
issues).
- Add META.json to files tracked by git.
1.04 2011-02-16T11:55:00
- Replace /usr/bin/perl with /usr/bin/env perl.
- Replace common::sense with use strict and use warnings, to get uninit var warnings.
1.03 2010-12-24T17:36:00
- Add DBD::SQLite to the list of pre-reqs.
- Patch POD warning users to avoid Storable due to this bug:
1.02 2010-12-14T11:16:00
- Change handling of parameters passed to cookie(), so that the caller may pass extra parameters
to the query object's cookie() method.
- Document the $atime parameter to the atime() method.
- Change the POD structure, so that all methods are assigned a level of head2 under a head1 of
Methods.
- Various small corrections to the POD.
1.01 2010-12-01T16:35:00
- In t/basic.t, use Module::Load to load BerkeleyDB and Cache::Memcache conditionally, and exit
cleanly if they are not installed.
1.00 2010-11-30T14:08:00
- Original version.
