the new Sessions library in SVN - El Forum - 10-08-2008

Hello,
I'm developping a project which will need sessions. I like the way how is working the current Sessions library in Codeigniter 1.6.3 , but not the userdata storage in cookies instead of the database.
I know there is a DB_Session library, but I prefer using the native Codeigniter code instead of adding external libraries, and which also check IP address and user agent and cookie encryption.
I just saw that in the SVN, the Sessions library seems to be updated and now store user_datas in the database, which is perfect for me.
My question is : is the library in the SVN considered as "stable" ? and could I use it in Codeigniter 1.6.3 directly (so replacing the file Sessions.php by the one in the SVN), or 1.6.4 will be really needed ?
Thanks

Until its released you cant be sure its bug-free, and even then you can only be 99.9% certain.
Your best bet is to just check out the 1.7.0-pre and give it a try.

You should assume that it will be buggy. I just started a project a few weeks ago on the SVN version and wasted time with bugs right out of the gate. Take a look at the activity on it, they are changing things all the time. By definition, that is not stable.
However, I agree that the session changes are really cool, so I decided to go ahead with the dev version anyways. By the time I finish the project I'm sure the next version will be out.

Thanks for the answers.
I finally tested the new Session.php library from SVN into Code Igniter 1.6.3, and I do not have any problem with it for now.

Wahoo! Been using OB_Sessions for this reason but not sure how long that will be supported as CI marches on.

The session class should be reasonably stable, but yeah, there are chances for bugs. @John: did you report the bugs you hit? Be happy to clean those up!
