Version 0.7.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Add MellonSPentityId to control entityId in autogenerated metadata

* Fix compatibility with Apache 2.4.

* Handle empty RelayState the same as missing RelayState.

* Add MellonSetEvnNoPrefix directive to set environment variables
  without "MELLON_"-prefix.

Version 0.6.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fix the POST replay functionality when multiple users logging in
  at once.

* Add a fallback for the case where the POST replay data has expired
  before the user logs in.

Version 0.6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Backwards-incompatible changes:

* The POST replay functionality has been disabled by default, and the
  automatic creation of the MellonPostDirectory target directory has been
  removed. If you want to use the POST replay functionality, take a
  look at the README file for instructions for how to enable this.

* Start discovery service when accessing the login endpoint. We used
  to bypass the discovery service in this case, and just pick the first
  IdP. This has been changed to send a request to the discovery service
  instead, if one is configured.

* The MellonLockFile default path has been changed to:
    /var/run/mod_auth_mellon.lock
  This only affects platforms where a lock file is required and
  where Apache doesn't have write access to that directory during
  startup. (Apache can normally create files in that directory
  during startup.)

Other changes:

* Fix support for SOAP logout.

* Local logout when IdP does not support SAML 2.0 Single Logout.

* MellonDoNotVerifyLogoutSignature option to disable logout signature
  validation.

* Support for relative file paths in configuration.

* The debian build-directory has been removed from the repository.

* Various cleanups and bugfixes:

  * Fix cookie parsing header parsing for some HTTP libraries.

  * Fix inheritance of MellonAuthnContextClassRef option.

  * Use ap_set_content_type() instead of accessing request->content_type.

  * README indentation cleanups.

  * Support for even older versions of GLib.

  * Fixes for error handling during session initialization.

  * Directly link with GLib rather than relying on the Lasso library
    linking to it for us.

  * Some code cleanups.

Version 0.5.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Honour MellonProbeDiscoveryIdP order when sending probes.

* MellonAuthnContextClassRef configuration directive, to limit
  authentication to specific authentication methods.

* Support for the HTTP-POST binding when sending authentication
  requests to the IdP.

* MellonSubjectConfirmationDataAddressCheck option to disable received
  address checking.

* Various cleanups and bugfixes:

  * Support for older versions of GLib and APR.

  * Send the correct SP entityID to the discovery service.

  * Do not set response headers twice.

  * Several cleanups in the code that starts authentication.

Version 0.4.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Allow MellonUser variable to be translated through MellonSetEnv

* A /mellon/probeDisco endpoint replaces the builtin:get-metadata 
  IdP dicovery URL scheme

* New MellonCond directive to enable attribute filtering beyond
  MellonRequire functionalities. 

* New MellonIdPMetadataGlob directive to load mulitple IdP metadata
  using a glob(3) pattern.

* Support for running behind reverse proxy.

* MellonCookieDomain and MellonCookiePath options to configure cookie
  settings.

* Support for loading federation metadata files.

* Several bugfixes.

Version 0.3.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* New login-endpoint, which allows easier manual initiation of login
  requests, and specifying parameters such as IsPassive.

* Validation of Conditions and SubjectConfirmation data in the assertion
  we receive from the IdP.

* Various bugfixes.

Version 0.2.7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Optionaly save the remote IdP entityId in the environment

* Shibboleth 2 interoperability

Version 0.2.6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fix XSS/DOS vulnerability in repost handler.

Version 0.2.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Replay POST requests after been sent to the IdP

* Fix HTTP response splitting vulnerability.

Version 0.2.4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fix for downloads of files with Internet Explorer with SSL enabled.

* Mark session as disabled as soon as logout starts, in case the IdP
  doesn't respond.

Version 0.2.3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Bugfix for session lifetime. Take the session lifetime from the
  SessionNotOnOrAfter attribute if it is present.

Version 0.2.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Improve metadata autogeneration: cleanup certificate, allow Organizarion
  element data to be supplied from Apache configuration

Version 0.2.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Make SAML authentication assertion and Lasso session available in the
  environement.

Version 0.2.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Autogeneration of SP metadata. (Requires Lasso 2.2.2 or newer.)

* Multiple IdP support, with discovery service.

* Built in discovery service which tests the availability of each IdP,
  and uses the first available IdP.

* Fix a mutex leak.


Version 0.1.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* MellonSecureCookie option, which enables Secure + HttpOnly flags on
  session cookies.

* Better handling of logout request when the user is already logged out.


Version 0.1.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Better support for BSD.

* Support for setting a IdP CA certificate and SP certificate.

* Support for loading the private key during web server initialization.
  With this, the private key only needs to be readable by root. This
  requires a recent version of Lasso to work.

* Better DOS resistance, by only allocating a session when the user has
  authenticated with the IdP.

* Support for IdP initiated login. The MellonDefaultLoginPath option can
  be to configure which page the user should land on after authentication.


Version 0.0.7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Renamed the logout endpoint from "logoutRequest" to "logout".
  "logoutRequest" is now an alias for "logout", and may be removed in the
  future.

* Added SP initiated logout. To initiate a logout from the web site, link
  the user to the logout endpoint, with a ReturnTo parameter with the url
  the user should be redirected to after being logged out. Example url:
  "https://www.example.com/secret/endpoint/logout
   ?ReturnTo=http://www.example.com/". (Note that this should be on a
  single line.)

* Fixed a memory leak on login.

* Increased maximum Lasso session size to 8192 from 3074. This allows us to
  handle users with more attributes.

* Fixed handling of multiple AttributeValue elements in response.
