Changes for version 0.30

  • Updated the README to reflect changes.
  • Updated the Makefile to spit out nasty warnings if the user was upgrading from a version below 0.29.
  • Updated the Makefile to require Fcntl and File::Spec.
  • Rewrote the POD to reflect changes.
  • Changed test script to use Test::Harness properly.
  • Split test script into pieces with distinct functionalities.
  • Changed the Long-Filenames.t script to use File::Spec to check for a distinction between upper and lowercase filenames.
  • Added lots of portability changes, so CGI::SecureState should work on just about any system now.
  • Added extra_ and paranoid_ security options.
  • Added Symlink Detection support.
  • Added flock support.
  • Changed new() to make a mindset specification mandatory.
  • Changed new() to accept the hash-style argument listing.
  • Added mindsets.
  • Changed errormsg() to be able to deal with more errors.
  • Changed errormsg() to allow for a user error message subroutine.
  • Added remember() to save current parameters.
  • Added params() to return more than one CGI parameter at a time
  • Added state_param() to return a name-value pair so other scripts can use the same session.
  • Allowed add() to add more than one parameter at a time.
  • Changed encipher() to be able to update the timestamp on the state file if not given anything to encrypt.
  • Changed functionality of encipher() and decipher() to only do encryption and decryption, and added save_memory() and recover_memory() functions to actually interact with the list of parameters in the CGI object.
  • Rewrite of encipher() and decipher() to use reverse-CBC encryption instead of ECB encryption.
