8TODO: possibly implement https://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/extended.html, but NaNs are nonportable. rely on libecb?
9TODO: https://github.com/svaarala/cbor-specs/blob/master/cbor-nonutf8-string-tags.rst, but maybe that is overkill?

111.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
12 - cast funbctions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
13 what you egt for not havign a tessuite.
14 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
15 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
16 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
17
181.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
19 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
20 raw cbor data.
21
221.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
23 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
24 thrown in callbacks.
25 - update libecb.
26
271.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
28 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
29 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
30 sources.
31 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
32 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
33 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
34 could cause an endless loop.
35
361.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
37 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
38 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
39 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
40 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
41 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
42 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
43 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
44 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
45 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
46 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
47 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
48 data is available.
49 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
50 a tagged value.
51 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
52 a hash key throws an exception.
53 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
54 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
55
561.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
57 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
58 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
59 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
60 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
61 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
62 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
63 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
64 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
65 for both en- and decoding.
66 - implement support for rational numbers (see
67 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
68 en- and decoding.
69 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
70 in a sensible manner.
71 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
72 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
73 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
74 tests.
75 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
76 - use stability canary.
77
781.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
79 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
80 Victor Efimov).
81
821.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
83 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
84 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
85 This can potentially leak information in the error message
86 or crash the process.
87 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
88 - upgrade libecb.
89
901.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
91 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
92 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
93 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
94 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
95 have 64 bit integer support.
96 - upgrade libecb.
97
981.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
99 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
100 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
101
1021.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
103 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
104 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
105 this as a tag 1 string.
106 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
107
1081.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
109 - implement an incremental decoder.
110
1111.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
112 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
113 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
114
1151.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
116 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
117 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
118 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
119 - more tests added.
120
1211.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
122 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
123 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
124 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
125 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
126 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
127 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
128 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
129 - major code overhaul.
130
1311.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
132 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
133 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
134 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
135 - port to perl <= 5.16.
136 - slightly improve the documentation.
137
1380.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
139 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
140 - uri support.
141 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
142 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
143 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
144 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
145 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
146 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
147
1480.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
149 - defused another too fragile test.
150
1510.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
152 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
153 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
154 are utf-8 or byte strings.
155 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
156 leaking.
157
1580.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
159 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
160 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
161 methods.
162
1630.05 Mon Oct 28 22:27:47 CET 2013
164 - do not leak hash keys on decoding.
165
1660.04 Sun Oct 27 23:47:47 CET 2013
167 - implement TO_CBOR/FREEZE/THAW serialisation protocols.
168 - requested perl-object and generic-object tags from iana.
169 - switched to Types::Serialiser for true, false and error.
170 - disabled some fragile tests (thanks, andk).
