Error when loading session from 1.11 on 1.12 Looks like a problem was introduced in the code handling deserialization of saved sessions. If the previous session was not serialized.

https://github.com/bbangert/beaker/commit/8949516ca0ad418ba6ec2deba7b844ccc787b736

Options:

mark as invalid and delete with invalidate_corrupt
add serializer=None
fallback for loading non serialized sessions
Mention it in docs

Reproduce

Install 1.11
Create session
Install 1.12
