Unreleased

0.13.0

Add option to always save session. #216

0.12.3

Ensure continuously_delete_expired waits for initial run. #208

0.12.2

Ensure set_expiry mutates Max-Age. #191

This addresses a bug where using set_expiry on a session with no initial expiry time would not add the Max-age attribute to the cookie leading to an inconsitency between the cookie and the database.

0.12.1

Important Security Update

Ensure ID cycling invokes create. #188

Because cycling the session ID involves creating a new ID, this must follow the same semantics as normal session creation. Therefore prior to this fix session ID collision could occur through this vector.

0.12.0

Important Security Update

Id collision mitigation. #181

This release introduces a new method, create, to the SessionStore trait to distinguish between creating a new session and updating an existing one. This distinction is crucial for mitigating the potential for session ID collisions.

Although the probability of session ID collisions is statistically low, given that IDs are composed of securely-random i128 values, such collisions pose a significant security risk. A store that does not differentiate between session creation and updates could inadvertently allow an existing session to be accessed, leading to potential session takeovers.

Session store authors are strongly encouraged to update and implement create such that potential ID collisions are handled, either by generating a new ID or returning an error.

As a transitional measure, we have provided a default implementation of create that wraps the existing save method. However, this default is not immune to the original issue. Therefore, it is imperative that stores override the create method with an implementation that adheres to the required uniqueness semantics, thereby effectively mitigating the risk of session ID collisions.

0.11.1

Ensure session.set_expiry updates record. #175
Provide signed and private features, enabling signing and encryption respectively. #157

0.11.0

Uses slices when encoding and decoding Id. #159

Breaking Changes

Removes IdError type in favor of using base64::DecodeSliceError. #159
Provides the same changes as 0.10.4, without breaking SemVer.
Updates base64 to 0.22.0.

0.10.4 Yanked: SemVer breaking

Revert introduction of lifetime parameter; use static lifetime directly

This ensures that the changes introduced in 0.10.3 do not break SemVer.

Please note that 0.10.3 has been yanked in accordance with cargo guidelines.

0.10.3 Yanked: SemVer breaking

Improve session config allocation footprint #158

0.10.2

Ensure "Path" and "Domain" are set on removal cookie #154

0.10.1

Ensure Expires: Session #149

0.10.0

Breaking Changes

Improve session ID #141
Relocate previously bundled stores #145
Move service out of core #146

Session IDs are now represetned as base64-encoded i128s, boast 128 bits of entropy, and are shorter, saving network bandwidth and improving the secure nature of sessions.

We no longer bundle session stores via feature flags and as such applications must be updated to require the stores directly. For example, applications that use the tower-sessions-sqlx-store should update their Cargo.toml like so:

tower-sessions = "0.10.0"
tower-sessions-sqlx-store = { version = "0.10.0", features = ["sqlite"] }

Assuming a SQLite store, as an example.

Furthermore, imports will also need to be updated accordingly. For example:

use std::net::SocketAddr;

use axum::{response::IntoResponse, routing::get, Router};
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use time::Duration;
use tower_sessions::{session_store::ExpiredDeletion, Expiry, Session, SessionManagerLayer};
use tower_sessions_sqlx_store::{sqlx::SqlitePool, SqliteStore};

const COUNTER_KEY: &str = "counter";

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
struct Counter(usize);

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let pool = SqlitePool::connect("sqlite::memory:").await?;
    let session_store = SqliteStore::new(pool);
    session_store.migrate().await?;

    let deletion_task = tokio::task::spawn(
        session_store
            .clone()
            .continuously_delete_expired(tokio::time::Duration::from_secs(60)),
    );

    let session_layer = SessionManagerLayer::new(session_store)
        .with_secure(false)
        .with_expiry(Expiry::OnInactivity(Duration::seconds(10)));

    let app = Router::new().route("/", get(handler)).layer(session_layer);

    let addr = SocketAddr::from(([127, 0, 0, 1], 3000));
    let listener = tokio::net::TcpListener::bind(&addr).await?;
    axum::serve(listener, app.into_make_service()).await?;

    deletion_task.await??;

    Ok(())
}

async fn handler(session: Session) -> impl IntoResponse {
    let counter: Counter = session.get(COUNTER_KEY).await.unwrap().unwrap_or_default();
    session.insert(COUNTER_KEY, counter.0 + 1).await.unwrap();
    format!("Current count: {}", counter.0)
}

Finally, the service itself has been moved out of the core crate, which makes this crate smaller as well as establishes better boundaries between code.

Thank you for bearing with us: we are approaching longer term stability and aim to minimize churn going forward as we begin to move toward a 1.0 release.

0.9.1

Ensure clear works before record loading. #134

0.9.0

Breakiung Changes

Make service infallible. #132

This updates the service such that it always returns a response directly. In practice this means that e.g. axum applications no longer need the HandleErrorLayer and instead can use the layer directly. Note that if you use other fallible tower middleware, you will still need to use HandleErrorLayer.

As such we've also remove the MissingCookies and MissingId variants from the session error enum.

0.8.2

Derive PartialEq for Record. #125

0.8.1

Allow constructing RedisStore from RedisPool. #122

0.8.0

Breaking Changes

Lazy sessions. #112

Among other things, session methods are now entirely async, meaning applications must be updated to await these methods in order to migrate.

Separately, SessionStore has been updated to use a Record intermediary. As such, SessionStore implementations must be updated accordingly.

Session stores now use a concrete error type that must be used in implementations of SessionStore.

The secure cookie attribute now defaults to true.

0.7.0

Breaking Changes

Bump axum-core to 0.4.0, http to 1.0, tower-cookies to 0.10.0. #107

This brings tower-cookies up-to-date which includes an update to the cookies crate.

0.6.0

Breaking Changes

Remove concurrent shared memory access support; this may also address some performance degradations. #91
Related to shared memory support, we also remove replace_if_equal, as it is no longer relevant. #91

Other Changes

Allow setting up table and schema name for Postgres. #93

0.5.1

Only delete from session store if we have a session cookie. #90

0.5.0

Breaking Changes

Use a default session name of "id" to avoid fingerprinting, as per https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Session_Management_Cheat_Sheet.html#session-id-name-fingerprinting.

Note that applications using the old default, "tower.sid", may continue to do so without disruption by specifying with_name("tower.sid").

0.4.3

Important Security Fix

If your application uses MokaStore or MemoryStore, please update immediately to ensure proper server-side handling of expired sessions.

Other Changes

Make HttpOnly configurable. #81

0.4.2

Provide tracing instrumentation.
Ensure non-negative max-age. #79

0.4.1

Fix lifecycle state persisting in stores when it should not. #71

0.4.0

Breaking Changes

Sessions are serialized and deserialized from stores directly and SessionRecord is removed.
Expiration time has been replaced with an expiry type.
Drop session-prefix from session types.
The session modified methid is renamed to is_modified.
Session active semantic is now defined by stores and the active method removed.
Service now contains session configuration and CookieConfig is removed.
Deletion task is now provided via the deletion-task feature flag.

0.3.3

Ensure loaded sessions are removed whenever they can be; do not couple removal with session saving.

0.3.2

Implement reference-counted garbage collection for loaded sessions. #52
Make SessionId's UUID public. #53

0.3.1

Use DashMap entry API to address data race introduced by dashmap. #41

0.3.0

Breaking Changes

tokio feature flag is now tokio-rt.
Session IDs are returned as references now.

Other Changes

Update fred to 7.0.0.
Track loaded sessions to enable concurrent access. #37

Run caching store save and load ops concurrently. #25

0.2.1

Fix clearing session's data is not persisted. #22

0.2.0

Breaking Changes

Renamed store error variants for consistency (SqlxStoreError, RedisStoreError). #18
Moved MySQL expiration_time column to `timestamp(6), for microsecond resolution. #14
Replaced Session.with_max_age with set_expiration_time and set_expiration_time_from_max_age, allowing applications to control session durations dynamically. #7

Other Changes

Provide layered caching via CachingSessionStore #8
Provide a Moka store #6 (Thank you @and-reas-se!)
