Release notes
We are proud to announce the first alpha release in the 6.x-3.0 branch. This release should be experimental and should not be deployed to production sites without testing. Please back up your database before upgrading.
(Important) Database Schema Changes
Previous versions of CAS used the {authmap} table to store the relationship between CAS usernames and Drupal users. This was changed to use our own table {cas_user} to prevent conflicts with authnames shared between different external authentication modules. If you were sharing the {authmap} and {users} table between different Drupal installations, you may need to update your configuration to also share the {cas_user} table as well.
Upgrade routines have been provided. It is not possible to revert to CAS 6.x-2.x after upgrading. Please back up your database.
(Important) Login Link Changes
In previous versions of CAS, logins could be triggered by creating a link to cas which (after login) would automatically redirect back to the referring page. Now the login destination must be specified explicitly (instead of relying on the HTTP Referrer) --- for example cas?destination=node/2.
If you include a link to /cas in your theme, you may need to replace the code with something like
print l(t('Log in'), 'cas', array('query' => drupal_get_destination()));
Upgrading
phpCAS version 1.0.0 or later is required, however version 1.1.3 or later is highly recommended for security.
