Breaking Changes

●Issue #1

The `Devise::SessionsController#create` action no longer accepts `params[:remember_me]` directly. It must now be passed via `warden.session[:remember_me]` before calling `warden.authenticate!`.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If you relied on `params[:remember_me]` being available in `Devise::SessionsController#create`, update your session handling to set `warden.session[:remember_me]` before authentication.
  2. 2
    Replace all usages of `Devise.remember_me_for` with `Devise.remember_duration` in configuration files.

Release Summary

Version 5.0.0 introduces configuration enhancements for session duration and unconfirmed access, alongside fixing critical bugs in session handling and mailer configuration.
