[Cgi-session-user] 4.20_1 preview release updated: Many changes!

[Mark S. <ma...@su...>]

Thanks to several contributors, a new version of CGI::Session is now
ready. All the changes since the last release are listed below.

I have published this as a developer release to allow for a wider review
 period before it is considered stable. After about a week for further
comments and refinements, I'll plan to release this as 4.20.

Thanks again to all those who contributed!

* FIX: -ip_match now works even when it's not the last import item.
 (RT#21779)

* FIX: In the PostgreSQL driver, a race condition is when storing is now
  worked around. (Mark Stosberg)

* FIX: Added important clarification and example to MySQL driver docs
  that the session column needs to be defined as a primary key to avoid
  duplicate sessions.  (Justin Simoni, Mark Stosberg)

* FIX: The default serializer now works correctly with certain data
  structures. (RT#?) (Matt LeBlanc)

* FIX: Documented how to declare a database handle to be used on demand,
  which was introduced in 4.04. (Mark Stosberg)

  appropriate, instead of always.  This addresses a symptom seen as
  "attempt to prepare on inactive database handle" (Jaldhar Vyas,
  Sherzod, Mark Stosberg)

* FIX: Args to the constructor for CGI::Session and the drivers are now
  always shallow copied rather than used directly, to prevent
  modification.  (RT#21952, Franck Porcher, Sherzod, Mark Stosberg)

* FIX: The documentation for expire($param, $time) was made more
  explicit (pjf, Mark Stosberg)

* NEW: Added recommended use of flush() to the Synopsis (Michael Renner,
RT#22333)

* NEW: Added links to Japanese translations of the documentation (Makio
Tsukamoto)

ISIK, RT#21782)
* INTERNAL: new() and load() were refactored (Ali Isik)
* INTERNAL: renamed some environment variables used for testing (Ron Savage)
* INTERNAL: Multi key-value syntax of param() now always returns number
of keys
  successfully processed, 0 if no key/values were processed.
