| Release notes for Pubcookie 3.3.5:
Subject: Pubcookie 3.3.5 Released
Version 3.3.5 of the Pubcookie ISAPI filter is now available from
pubcookie.org. Specific changes in this Windows-only release include:
* Upgraded supporting OpenSSL libraries to version 0.9.8o.
* Added callbacks for OpenSSL to do locking for thread sensitive
operations in the ISAPI filter.
This release addresses reported problems with the Pubcookie filter's
ability to "unbundle" session cookies. The source of the problem was
traced back to multi-threading support on multi-processor systems, which
in some cases required resetting IIS in order to fix. New callbacks in
the ISAPI filter help ensure that OpenSSL can verify the signatures on
session cookies, reducing the number of related "Can't unbundle Session
cookie" errors in the Event log.
For a complete list of changes included in this release, see:

This release of the ISAPI filter has been thoroughly reviewed and tested
at the UW, and is already running on some of our production systems where
the session cookie problems were observed.
