This version of gbrowse (CVS branch "stable") replaces the obese cookies previously used to save state with server-side session files and small cookies that contain a short ID. This version of gbrowse will avoid problems with MS Internet Explorer when the cookies become too big or too numerous (major symptom: plugins stop working). The only known disadvantage of this version is that you must install the CGI::Session module. See CONFIGURE_HOWTO for information on how to fine-tune the session handling behavior (look for "session driver" and "session args"). Lincoln Stein 1 January 2007
