Revision history for Perl extension Data::Session. 1.18 2017-08-14T11:13:00 - Adopt new repo structure. See http://savage.net.au/Ron/html/My.Workflow.for.Building.Distros.html. - 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. - Add github repo https://github.com/ronsavage/Data-Session.git. - 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 'each' gets confused. See http://blogs.perl.org/users/rurban/2014/04/do-not-use-each.html. 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: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36087 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.
