8 - the Math::BigFloat maintainer apparently thinks that changing 121.86 Thu 04 Nov 2021 17:48:16 CET
9 documented maths function to suddenly yield different results or 13 - fixed a wrong printf format specifier (reported by Petr Písař).
10 to fail completely on valid input is cool. Try to work around 14
11 this madness - if Math::BigFloat changes its API too much, 151.85 Sat 23 Oct 2021 04:59:56 CEST
12 future versions will have to remove support for bignums 16 - left debugging printf in code, need a test for that :(
17
181.84 Thu 21 Oct 2021 03:11:52 CEST
19 - fix a bug in validate_utf8 where we call perl's is_utf8_string with
20 a lenght of zero for empty strings, but perl interprets that as
21 "calculate length", causing spurious validation errors for
22 empty strings.
23 - include validate_utf8 in new_safe.
24 - avoid some warnings.
25
261.83 Tue Dec 8 09:27:06 CET 2020
27 - add CBOR::XS::as_map cast function.
28
291.82 Tue Dec 1 02:47:40 CET 2020
30 - add CBOR::XS::as_bool cast function.
31
321.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
33 - cast functions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
34 what you get for not having a tessuite.
35 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
36 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
37 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
38
391.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
40 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
41 raw cbor data.
42
431.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
44 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
45 thrown in callbacks.
46 - update libecb.
47
481.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
49 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
50 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
51 sources.
52 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
53 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
54 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
55 could cause an endless loop.
56
571.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
58 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
59 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
60 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
61 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
62 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
63 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
64 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
65 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
66 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
67 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
68 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
69 data is available.
70 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
71 a tagged value.
72 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
73 a hash key throws an exception.
74 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
75 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
76
771.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
78 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
79 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
13 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net). 80 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
81 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
82 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
83 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
84 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
85 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
86 for both en- and decoding.
87 - implement support for rational numbers (see
88 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
89 en- and decoding.
90 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
91 in a sensible manner.
92 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
93 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
94 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
95 tests.
96 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
97 - use stability canary.

151.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016 991.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
16 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by 100 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
17 Victor Efimov). 101 Victor Efimov).
