[ANNOUNCE] Apache::Session 1.50 has been released

[Jeffrey W. Baker]

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that Apache::Session version 1.50 has been
released.  This is a major update from the previous version.

Notable updates include:

*Support for Postgres as a backing store
*Support for Berkeley DB as a backing store
*Support for serialization into ASCII instead of binary data
*Pluggable ID generation policies and serialization schemes
*Database backing stores can now use existing database connections
*Apache::Session::Flex lets you choose modules at runtime
*Full transactional consistency is now available with all backing stores

Subtle incompatibilities:

*Default IDs are now 32 characters instead of 16
*Apache::Session::DBI is gone, in favor of specific MySQL and Postgres
modules.
*Semaphores are no longer used by default on any platform.

You can get the new module at
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Apache/Apache-Session-1.50.tar.gz

Best,
Jeffrey

Does this new release mean I connot use Oracle as the backing store?

 Doesn't 1.03 fail with truncated longs?  If not, can you send me a

I was using Oracle for the DBIstore with the following table:
SQL desc sessions
 NameNull?Type
 ---  
 DATE_IN  DATE
 ID   VARCHAR2(16)
 LENGTH   VARCHAR2(11)
 A_SESSIONLONG

And I was using the foll. to make the connections:

$self-{dbh} = DBI-connect($session-{args}-{DataSource},
$session-{args}-{UserName}, $session-{args}-{Password},
{ RaiseError = 1, AutoCommit = 1, LongReadLen =
   $session-{args}-{LongReadLen} }) || die $DBI::errstr;
