8 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
9 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
10 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
11 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
12 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
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 (corrupt) cbor texts.
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.
23 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
24 a hash key throws an exception.
25 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
26 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
27
28 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
29 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
30 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
31 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
32 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
33 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
34 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
35 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
36 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
37 for both en- and decoding.
38 - implement support for rational numbers (see
39 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
40 en- and decoding.
41 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
42 in a sensible manner.
43 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
44 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
45 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
46 tests.
47 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
48 - use stability canary.
49
50 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
51 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
52 Victor Efimov).
53
54 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
55 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
56 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
57 This can potentially leak information in the error message
58 or crash the process.
59 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
60 - upgrade libecb.
61
62 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
63 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
64 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
65 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
66 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
67 have 64 bit integer support.
68 - upgrade libecb.
69
70 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
71 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
72 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
73
74 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
75 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
76 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
77 this as a tag 1 string.
78 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
79
80 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
81 - implement an incremental decoder.
82
83 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
84 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
85 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
86
87 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
88 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
89 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
90 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
91 - more tests added.
92
93 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
94 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
95 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
96 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
97 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
98 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
99 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
100 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
101 - major code overhaul.
102
103 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
104 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
105 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
106 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
107 - port to perl <= 5.16.
108 - slightly improve the documentation.
109
110 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
111 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
112 - uri support.
113 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
114 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
115 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
116 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
117 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
118 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
119
120 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
121 - defused another too fragile test.
122
123 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
124 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
125 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
126 are utf-8 or byte strings.
127 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
128 leaking.
129
130 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
131 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
132 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
133 methods.
134

139 - implement TO_CBOR/FREEZE/THAW serialisation protocols.
140 - requested perl-object and generic-object tags from iana.
141 - switched to Types::Serialiser for true, false and error.
142 - disabled some fragile tests (thanks, andk).

153 - preliminary tagged decoding to arrayref.
154 - indefinite encoding fixed.
