A new update is available for DragonByte Security by DragonByte Technologies.
DragonByte Security 4.5.3
Update highlights
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.
Complete Change Log
Change: Expired sessions are now deleted via a Cron job instead of on session start
