DragonByte Security 4.5.3
Change log
Change: Expired sessions are now deleted via a Cron job instead of on session start
Release notes
This version changes the way sessions are handled in order to improve performance.
DB Security stores a copy of some session information in order to support the ability to disconnect sessions via the "Privacy & Security" settings, as well as some other features.
In prior versions, old DB Security sessions would be deleted any time a user started a new session. This was done in order to ensure that no-one could hijack a session or no-one could still be logged in with an expired session.
However, this doesn't scale well for large forums with a large amount of sessions. In this version, old DB Security sessions are now expired using a hourly cron job, and any code that previously looked for DB Security sessions has been updated to also check for expiry.
None of these changes affect the built-in XenForo session system.
