Sourced from passport's changelog.

[0.6.0] - 2022-05-20

Added

• authenticate(), req#login, and req#logout accept a keepSessionInfo: true option to keep session information after regenerating the session.

Changed

• req#login() and req#logout() regenerate the the session and clear session information by default.
• req#logout() is now an asynchronous function and requires a callback function as the last argument.

Security

• Improved robustness against session fixation attacks in cases where there is physical access to the same system or the application is susceptible to cross-site scripting (XSS).

[0.5.3] - 2022-05-16

Fixed

• initialize() middleware extends request with login(), logIn(), logout(), logOut(), isAuthenticated(), and isUnauthenticated() functions again, reverting change from 0.5.1.

[0.5.2] - 2021-12-16

Fixed

• Introduced a compatibility layer for strategies that depend directly on [email protected] or earlier (such as passport-azure-ad), which were broken by the removal of private variables in [email protected].

[0.5.1] - 2021-12-15

Added

• Informative error message in session strategy if session support is not available.

Changed

• authenticate() middleware, rather than initialize() middleware, extends request with login(), logIn(), logout(), logOut(), isAuthenticated(), and isUnauthenticated() functions.

[0.5.0] - 2021-09-23

Changed

• initialize() middleware extends request with login(), logIn(), logout(), logOut(), isAuthenticated(), and isUnauthenticated() functions.
