3.1.5

Upgrading

  • If running an application in an environment where user security is critical, it may be necessary to assign the config value Security.remember_username to false. This will disable persistence of user login name between sessions, and disable browser auto-completion on the username field. Note that users of certain browsers who have previously autofilled and saved login credentials will need to clear their password autofill history before this setting is properly respected.
  • Test cases that rely on updating and restoring Injector services may now take advantage of the new Injector::nest() and Injector::unnest() methods to sandbox their alterations.
  • If errors could potentially be raised by any RequestHandler class such as a Form or Controller, you may now add the new ErrorPageControllerExtension to this class to transform plain text error messages into ErrorPage rendered HTML errors. In the past this behaviour was limited to subclasses of ContentController. By default this extension is now added to the Security controller, and if this is not desirable then it should be removed explicitly via the Config system.
