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.

!!! THIS VERSION REQUIRES XENFORO 2.2.0 AND PHP 7.2.0 !!!

This version contains coding style updates and changes for XenForo 2.2.0 / PHP 7.2.0.

XenForo 2.2 features two new "Security lock" features that function slightly differently than the account locks already present in DragonByte Security. These two new features can now be used as Watcher actions where possible.

Furthermore, a couple bugs have been resolved.

This version is flagged as a Beta version, although it has been tested on a live site.

Feature: The two new "Security lock" features in XenForo 2.2 can now be used as Watcher actions where this makes sense
Fix: Fix TOR exit node handling
Fix: Handle a 404 response from HIBP
Update highlights

This is a quick update to fix a logged error stemming from incorrect handling of a 404 error when calling the Have I Been Pwned? API.

Did you know that there are actual email accounts out there that have never been a victim of a data breach? Neither did I. How long ago was this feature implemented, 1-2 years ago? Crazy.

PS: For those waiting for a XenForo 2.2 version, it's still in testing @ DBTech.

Fix: Handle a 404 response from HIBP
Update highlights

This version brings the return of the login session management feature from the XenForo 1.5 version. The previous session management version had some issues, namely in that deleted sessions would be re-generated if the other browser instance wasn't already being logged out.

With v4.4.0, deleting a login session will force the other session to end, as was always intended.

Feature: Login session management - Log out of other devices via your Password & Security page
