What's New in PHP OpenID 2.0 ============================ This library implements both the OpenID 1 and OpenID 2 protocols. The API changes in this version of the library are minimal and mostly backwards-compatible with current RP and Server implementations. If you're already using this library for OpenID 1, only a few small changes (see Summary below) will be needed once you upgrade. The big news here is compatibility with version 2.0 of the OpenID protocol. Highlights include: * Simple Registration support in a new module Auth/OpenID/SReg.php. (Those previously using Auth_OpenID_SuccessResponse::extensionResponse() are advised to look here and at the example consumer and server for detailed usage information.) * OpenID provider-driven identifier selection. * "Negotiators" allow you to define which association types to use. * Improved examples/detect.php script (bugs fixed) * Improved layout of example consumer (see examples/consumer) * An improved HTML parser implementation * Library is now immune to being included inside functions and methods * Fixes to avoid multibyte overloading problems If you've written your own custom store or code that interacts directly with it, you'll need to review the change notes for Auth_OpenID_Interface in Auth/OpenID/Interface.php. Upgrading from earlier versions of this library ----------------------------------------------- One of the additions to the OpenID protocol was a specified nonce format for one-way nonces. As a result, the nonce table in the SQL-driven stores has changed. You'll need to run the Python script contrib/upgrade-store-1.1-to-2.0 to upgrade your store, or you'll encounter errors about the wrong number of columns in the oid_nonces table. To run the script, you'll need a python module supporting your database type: pysqlite2, psycopg, or MySQLdb. If you cannot run the Python script, you can re-create your store by dropping the tables in the store and calling createTables() on the store object. Consumers should now pass an additional parameter to Auth_OpenID_Consumer::complete() to defend against return_to URL tampering. Summary of API Changes ---------------------- - Auth_OpenID::fixArgs is now no longer necessary, and Auth_OpenID_Consumer::complete and Auth_OpenID_Server::decodeRequest no longer take query argument arrays. *You should no longer pass any parameters to these methods.* - Auth_OpenID_SuccessResponse::extensionResponse() is no longer the preferred way to extract extension response parameters from the OpenID response. Instead, see the Auth/OpenID/SReg.php module and the example consumer and server for detailed usage information on constructing Simple Registration requests and inspecting responses. extensionResponse() is still valid, but now takes a second parameter (bool) indicating whether extension args should be signed. - The Auth_OpenID_Server's response answer() method now takes additional parameters to support provider-driven identifier selection. See the example server and the documentation for Auth_OpenID_CheckIDRequest::answer.
