New Features

  • An argon2_secret configuration method has been added to the argon2 feature, supporting argon2’s built-in password peppering.

Other Improvements

  • Links are no longer automatically displayed for routes that are disabled by calling the *_route method with nil.

  • The QR code used by the otp feature now uses a white background instead of a transparent background, fixing issues when the underlying background is dark.

  • Input parameter bytesize is now limited to 1024 bytes by default. Parameters larger than that will be ignored, as if they weren’t submitted.

  • The Rodauth::Auth class for internal request classes now uses the same configuration name as the class it is based on.

  • The session_key_prefix configuration method no longer also prefixes the keys used in the flash hash.

  • The *_path and *_url methods now return nil when the related *_route method returns nil, indicating the route is disabled.

  • A more explicit error message is raised when using a feature that requires the hmac_secret being set and not setting hmac_secret.

Backwards Compatibility

  • If you are using session_key_prefix and flash messages, you will probably need to adjust your code to remove the prefix from the expected flash keys, or manually prefix the flash keys by using the flash_error_key and flash_notice_key configuration methods.

  • The limiting of input parameter bytesizes by default could potentially break applications that use Rodauth’s parameter parsing method to handle parameters that Rodauth itself doesn’t handle. You can use the max_param_bytesize configuration method to set a larger bytesize, or use a value of nil with the method for the previous behavior of no limit. Additionally, to customize the behavior if a parameter is over the allowed bytesize, you can use the over_max_bytesize_param_value configuration method.
