There are lots of changes from 2.007, which was the previous release. 
The intermediate releases didn't go to CPAN, even though I was confused
and thought they did.  Sorry for the delay, hope some of this stuff is
worth it!


Version: 2.010  Date: 2000/06/17 01:37:16
   (merged changes from sub-releases into main CVS branch.  Been living
   in CVS hell.  My CVS-hubris got the better of me, tried to do things
   with tags & soforth and wound up severely confused.  Thus the version
   numbers jumped a bit.)
   
   Made some minor documentation updates.

Version: 2.008  Date: 2000/06/14 15:36:12
   Instead of replacing the Set-Cookie header when we set the cookie, add
   to it.  This means we won't clobber other folks' unrelated cookies
   when we set ours.  It also means you need at least mod_perl version
   1.24 (I think).  [rlocke@infiniteinfo.com (Robert Locke)]


Version: 2.007.002.001  Date: 2000/05/14 18:06:30
   Added a PerlSetVar *Cache parameter that you can set to a true value
   to allow cacheing.  Also removed cache control from regular requests -
   cacheing still happens on login & logout.  [asparks@cpd.harris.com
   (Alan Sparks) and dtaylor@vialogix.com (Drew Taylor)]
   
   Split off the login-form-displaying code into its own method, called
   login_form().  Can be overridden in subclasses.  The default method
   uses $r->custom_response() to display the login. [richter@ecos.de
   (Gerald Richter)]
   
   Added documentation for the send_cookie() method.


Version: 2.007.001.001  Date: 2000/04/29 20:03:51
   Created the send_cookie() method, which just creates the cookie and
   calls $r->err_header_out to send it to the browser.  It is
   occasionally useful to override this method if you need to change the
   value of the cookie before sending it out (for instance, to update a
   timestamp).  [mschout@gkg.net (Michael J Schout)]
   
   Changed the _cookie_string() method to cookie_string().
   
   Added a PerlSetVar configuration directive "{YourAuth}Secure" which
   will secure cookies (i.e. only send them over a secure connection).
