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


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.

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.
