6 10
7 - work around broken Time::Piece (%z doesn't work as documented, gives 11 - include validate_utf8 in new_safe.
12 - avoid some warnings.
13
141.83 Tue Dec 8 09:27:06 CET 2020
15 - add CBOR::XS::as_map cast function.
16
171.82 Tue Dec 1 02:47:40 CET 2020
18 - add CBOR::XS::as_bool cast function.
19
201.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
21 - cast functions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
22 what you get for not having a tessuite.
23 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
24 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
25 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
26
271.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
28 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
29 raw cbor data.
30
311.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
32 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
33 thrown in callbacks.
34 - update libecb.
35
361.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
37 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
38 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
39 sources.
40 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
41 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
42 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
43 could cause an endless loop.
44
451.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
46 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
47 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
48 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
49 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
50 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
51 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
52 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
53 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
54 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
55 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
56 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
57 data is available.
58 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
59 a tagged value.
60 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
61 a hash key throws an exception.
62 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
63 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
64
651.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
66 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
67 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
68 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
69 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
70 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
71 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
72 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
73 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
74 for both en- and decoding.
75 - implement support for rational numbers (see
76 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
77 en- and decoding.
78 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
79 in a sensible manner.
80 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
81 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
82 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
83 tests.
84 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
85 - use stability canary.
86
871.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
88 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
89 Victor Efimov).
90
911.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
92 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
93 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
94 This can potentially leak information in the error message
95 or crash the process.
96 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
97 - upgrade libecb.
98
991.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
100 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
101 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
102 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
103 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
104 have 64 bit integer support.
105 - upgrade libecb.
106
1071.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
108 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
109 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
110
1111.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
112 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
113 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
114 this as a tag 1 string.
115 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
116
1171.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
118 - implement an incremental decoder.
119
1201.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
121 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
8 different results on different platforms(!)). 122 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
9 123
101.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013 1241.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
11 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data. 125 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
12 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled. 126 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
13 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece. 127 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
