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.
21 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
22 a tagged value.

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

133
134 0.04 Sun Oct 27 23:47:47 CET 2013
135 - implement TO_CBOR/FREEZE/THAW serialisation protocols.
136 - requested perl-object and generic-object tags from iana.
137 - switched to Types::Serialiser for true, false and error.
138 - disabled some fragile tests (thanks, andk).
