10 1.51
11 - point out security implications of having unsafe THAW
12 function/methods in your process.
13 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
14 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
15 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
16 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
17 types of data corruption.
18 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
19 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
20 data is available.

22 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
23 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
24 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
25 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
26 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
27 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
28 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
29 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
30 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
31 for both en- and decoding.
32 - implement support for rational numbers (see
33 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
34 en- and decoding.
35 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
36 in a sensible manner.
37 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
38 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
39 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
40 tests.
41 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
42 - use stability canary.
43
44 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
45 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
46 Victor Efimov).
47
48 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
49 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
50 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
51 This can potentially leak information in the error message
52 or crash the process.
53 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
54 - upgrade libecb.
55
56 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
57 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
58 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
59 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
60 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
61 have 64 bit integer support.
62 - upgrade libecb.
63
64 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
65 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
66 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
67
68 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
69 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
70 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
71 this as a tag 1 string.
72 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
73
74 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
75 - implement an incremental decoder.
76
77 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
78 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
79 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
80
81 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
82 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
83 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
84 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
85 - more tests added.
86
87 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
88 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
89 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
90 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
91 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
92 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
93 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
94 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
95 - major code overhaul.
96
97 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
98 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
99 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
100 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
101 - port to perl <= 5.16.
102 - slightly improve the documentation.
103
104 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
105 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
106 - uri support.
107 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
108 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
109 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
110 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
111 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
112 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
113
114 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
115 - defused another too fragile test.
116
117 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
118 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
119 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
120 are utf-8 or byte strings.
121 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
122 leaking.
123
124 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
125 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
126 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
127 methods.
128
129 0.05 Mon Oct 28 22:27:47 CET 2013
130 - do not leak hash keys on decoding.
131
132 0.04 Sun Oct 27 23:47:47 CET 2013
133 - implement TO_CBOR/FREEZE/THAW serialisation protocols.
134 - requested perl-object and generic-object tags from iana.
135 - switched to Types::Serialiser for true, false and error.
136 - disabled some fragile tests (thanks, andk).
137

140 - take more advantage of ecb.h.

147 - preliminary tagged decoding to arrayref.
148 - indefinite encoding fixed.
149 - half float decoding implemented.
