+Modified: lib/Vend UserDB.pm</emphasis>
+* Add username_email option so that one can easily user the username
+ as an email address. It is as simple as:
+
+ UserDB default username_email 1
+
+ Suggested also is:
+
+ UserDB default ignore_case 1
+
+ This simply makes the value of username be set in the email field. The
+ name of the field defaults to "email", but can be set:
+
+ UserDB default username_email_field other_email_field
+
+ It doesn't gang the email field to username. We could set a
+ way of changing username -- I will look at that.
+
+* Add a "constant" feature. This is similar to the "scratch" feature,
+ but allows you to set immutable session values in $Session->{constant}.
+
+ If the database field "foo" had the value of "bar" in it, then
+ this:
+
+ UserDB default constant foo
+
+ would result in this in upon login:
+
+ $Vend::Session->{constant} = { foo => 'bar' }
+
+* Add a "session_hash" feature. This is similar to the "scratch" feature,
+ but allows you to set hashes of session values in $Session->{$foo}.
+
+ If the database field "key_phrase" had the value of "{ foo => 'bar'}"
+ in it, then this:
+
+ UserDB default session_hash key_phrase
+
+ would result in this in upon login:
+$Vend::Session->{key_phrase} = { foo => 'bar' }
+
+* Add the ability to redirect scratch, constant, and session_hash
+ variables to different DB fields, i.e.:
+
+ UserDB default scratch database_field=scratch_field
+
+ if the database field "bar" had the value of "baz" in it, then this:
+
+ UserDB default scratch foo=bar
+
+ would result in:
+
+ $Scratch->{foo} eq 'baz'

+* Add hook for catalog_init subroutine that gives you access before the
+ session assignment is done. In this case, it was used to modify the
+ name of session files so you can assign a session number based on the
+ HTTP_SERVER_HOST coming in -- but it could be used for a number of
+ purposes.
+
+ Uses the usual SpecialSub method:
+
+ Sub my_init sub { $CGI::user = $CGI::server_host }

+ * Patch for a DoS exploit, pointed out by Donald Alexander. Thanks

+
+ A carefully crafted HTTP POST request could cause an Interchange
+ page processor to hang until it's killed by Interchange's periodic
+ housekeeping routine.
+
+ If several of these requests are received in quick succession
+ then it could be possible to disable all of the page processors,
+ rendering Interchange unresponsive for a while.
