8 1.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
9 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
10 thrown in callbacks.
11 - update libecb.
12
13 1.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
14 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
15 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
16 sources.
17 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
18 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
19 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
20 could cause an endless loop.
21
22 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
23 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
24 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
25 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
26 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
27 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
28 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
29 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
30 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
31 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
32 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
33 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
34 data is available.
35 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
36 a tagged value.
37 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
38 a hash key throws an exception.
39 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
40 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
41
42 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
43 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
44 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
45 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
46 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
47 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
48 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
49 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
50 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
51 for both en- and decoding.
52 - implement support for rational numbers (see
53 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
54 en- and decoding.
55 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
56 in a sensible manner.
57 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
58 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
59 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
60 tests.
61 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
62 - use stability canary.
63
64 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
65 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
66 Victor Efimov).
67
68 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
69 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
70 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
71 This can potentially leak information in the error message
72 or crash the process.
73 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
74 - upgrade libecb.
75
76 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
77 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
78 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
79 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
80 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
81 have 64 bit integer support.
82 - upgrade libecb.
83
84 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
85 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
86 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
87
88 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
89 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
90 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
91 this as a tag 1 string.
92 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
93
94 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
95 - implement an incremental decoder.
96
97 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
98 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
99 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
100
101 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
102 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
103 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
104 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
105 - more tests added.
106
107 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
108 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
109 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
110 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
111 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
112 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
113 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
114 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
115 - major code overhaul.
116
117 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
118 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
119 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
120 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
121 - port to perl <= 5.16.
122 - slightly improve the documentation.
123
124 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
125 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
126 - uri support.
127 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
128 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
129 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
130 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
131 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
132 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
133
134 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
135 - defused another too fragile test.
136
137 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
138 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
139 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
140 are utf-8 or byte strings.
141 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
142 leaking.
143
144 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
145 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
146 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
147 methods.

154 - requested perl-object and generic-object tags from iana.
155 - switched to Types::Serialiser for true, false and error.
