1.03:

• Enforce the rules from the Auth 2.0 spec about which fields MUST be signed in positive assertion messages.
• Return a more sensible error (no_head_tag) if the identifier URL returns an empty (0-byte) HTML document.
• Verify delegate on the non-fragment version of the resulting identifier, so that you can delegate to providers that add fragments to their identifiers. Found and fixed by avarix <mindsectr@gmail.com>.

1.02:

• Declare dependency on XML::Simple

1.01:

• Make the verified_identity bit accept assertions from any declared endpoint, rather than only the primary one. This implementation kinda sucks because it hits the identity URL over and over doing discovery.
• Refactor the discovery code a little so that the whole list of valid endpoints can optionally be returned. This is in preparation for fixing the assertion verification code so that providers other than the primary one are able to make assertions.
• Support indirect messages encapsualated in POST requests when args are given as a CGI, Apache, or Apache::Request object.
• Support the 1.1 and 1.0 namespace values required by Auth 2.0 section 4.1.2.
• Deal with cases where Net::OpenID::Yadis returns arrayref or hashref for Service->URI, including a basic support for the priority attribute. Based on a patch from Fumiaki Yoshimatsu <fyoshimatsu@sixapart.com>.
• when dealing with a 2.0 server, send 2.0-shaped association requests.
• add the set_extension_args method to ClaimedIdentity and the extension_fields and signed_extension_fields methods to VerifiedIdentity, which together form a higher-level API for using protocol extensions such as SREG and PAPE.
• add support for OpenID 2.0-style messages from providers
• use our own simplified fork of Net::Yadis::Discovery to avoid dependency on Module::Pluggable::Fast. Or on Net::Yadis::Discovery, for that matter.
• add hooks for openid-test project. (bradfitz)
• add OpenID 2.0-compliant discovery and authentication request.
• add method on claimed identity object to get delgated URL

0.14: (2007-08-03)

• allow CGI subclasses (like CGI::Fast) for args. bug fix from Chris Kastorff <encryptio@gmail.com>.

0.13:

• work-around bug in some openid servers that don't escape "+". so treat a space as a +. (from Thomas Sibley <trs@bestpractical.com>)
• go into dumb mode earlier if it's detected that our cache object isn't working
• give callers access to the signed_fields from the verified identity object

0.12:

• required_root in constructor/method/validated_identity
• allow https identities
• version 1.1 of the protocol
• expand entities in link rel
• reject cached association validation if expiry is in past

0.11:

• document common error codes from claimed_identity, and cleanup some error handling/codes
• support openid.mode=cancel
• respect replace_after and expiry. do clock compensation between local clock and server.
• invalidate_handle support

0.10:

• handle openid.delegate properly (was losing state because I'd put a URL parameter onto the wrong URL)
• copy all signed parameters into POST args in dumb mode, not a static set (to be future-proof)

0.09:

• switch to DH/HMAC protocol, not DSA protocol

0.08:

• more openssl-binary temp file changes. on second failure (which was previously missing a new method), it also propogates up the error message now, instead of dying, to be more consistent with the other DSA checkers, which never die

0.07:

• bugfix: use URI::Fetch 0.02, not "0.02" in quotes
• bugfix: don't set cache if no cache

0.06:

• wrap Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA verify in eval {} as it can croak
• use URI::Fetch, which does caching and proper HTTP behavior
• let user get/set cache, which is then propogated down to URI::Fetch
• optionally use new pure-perl version of Crypt::DSA which now does ASN.1 serialization/deserialization in both signatures and public keys. brings total options of DSA verify techniques up to 3.
• tmpdir option (and smart auto-configuration) for people using OpenSSL binaries to verify signatures.
• security fix when doing DSA checks with system openssl binary (was previously parsing the wrong status)
• misc reported bugfixes

0.05:

• stupid push_url_arg bugfix
• doc fix in example code (no post_grant in check_url)

0.04:

• tons more docs: in both ClaimedIdentity and VerifiedIdentity
• Consumer now observes atom/rss/foaf/foafmaker at the same time as openid.server, and passes it along to VerifiedIdentity, where it's accessible, and VerifiedIdentity knows whether or not those urls are under the trusted one or not, and makes them differently available to callers
• bug fixes, doc fixes
• post_grant moved to user_setup_url, not check_url
• delayed_return added to check_url

0.03:

• setting args in constructor was broken
• renamed get_claimed_identity to just claimed_identity to be consistent
• all methods now croak if called with too many arguments
• added ClaimedIdentity->identity_server to get just one, as selected by plugin, instead of array of them all

0.02:

• POD docs for Net/OpenID/Consumer.pm
• accepts CGI, Apache, Apache::Request, and CODE arguments now for GET argument retrievers, in addition to just HASH references
• openid.server auto-discovery only happens within first <head> tag
• if using Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA, now requires 0.12 due to bugs found in 0.11.
• DSA verification using OpenSSL binary no longer spews "Verification OK" to stdout

0.01:

• fetching of page (with configurable user agent object; I recommend you use LWPx::ParanoidAgent, now available on CPAN) and returning a "ClaimedIdentity" object of what the user claims they are, but is not verified yet
• auto-discovery of openid servers
• hook to let you provide your subref to do openid server selection, given multiple options
• generation of "check" URL to send user to to get redirect
• reading of response parameters, returning either a user_setup_url or a VerifiedIdentity object (doing DSA validation with either Crypt::OpenSSL::DSA or your openssl binary)
  • start of JSON responses for javascript UI
