Hi folks,

I recently published a new gem, [Rack::Session::SmartCookie](https://github.com/mwpastore/rack-session-smart_cookie#readme), a subclass of Rack::Session::Cookie that alters some of its behavior. It’s focused on setting better defaults, warning against insecure options, and efficiently encoding cookie data using MessagePack and other techniques. It may be worth a look if your session cookies contain a lot of data.

Thank you!

Mike
