4 TODO: document encode_cbor_sharing?
5 TODO: weaken cyclic structures?
6 TODO: large negative integers
7 TODO: type cast tests.
8 TODO: possibly implement https://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/extended.html, but NaNs are nonportable. rely on libecb?
9 TODO: https://github.com/svaarala/cbor-specs/blob/master/cbor-nonutf8-string-tags.rst, but maybe that is overkill?
10 TODO: as_bool, also in Types::Serialiser?

12 1.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
13 - cast funbctions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
14 what you egt for not havign a tessuite.
15 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
16 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
17 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
18
19 1.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
20 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
21 raw cbor data.
22
23 1.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
24 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
25 thrown in callbacks.
26 - update libecb.
27
28 1.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
29 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
30 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
31 sources.
32 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
33 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
34 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
35 could cause an endless loop.
36
37 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
38 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
39 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
40 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
41 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
42 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
43 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
44 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
45 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
46 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
47 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
48 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
49 data is available.
50 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
51 a tagged value.
52 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
53 a hash key throws an exception.
54 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
55 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
56
57 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
58 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
59 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
60 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
61 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
62 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
63 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
64 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
65 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
66 for both en- and decoding.
67 - implement support for rational numbers (see
68 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
69 en- and decoding.
70 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
71 in a sensible manner.
72 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
73 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
74 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
75 tests.
76 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
77 - use stability canary.
78
79 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
80 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
81 Victor Efimov).
82
83 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
84 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
85 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
86 This can potentially leak information in the error message
87 or crash the process.
88 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
89 - upgrade libecb.
90
91 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
92 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
93 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
94 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
95 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
96 have 64 bit integer support.
97 - upgrade libecb.
98
99 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
100 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
101 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
102
103 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
104 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
105 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
106 this as a tag 1 string.
107 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
108
109 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
110 - implement an incremental decoder.
111
112 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
113 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
114 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
115
116 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
117 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
118 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
119 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
120 - more tests added.
121
122 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
123 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
124 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
125 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
126 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
127 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
128 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
129 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
130 - major code overhaul.
131
132 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
133 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
134 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
135 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
136 - port to perl <= 5.16.
137 - slightly improve the documentation.
138
139 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
140 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
141 - uri support.
142 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
143 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
144 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
145 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
146 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
147 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
148

150 - defused another too fragile test.
151
152 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
153 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
154 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
155 are utf-8 or byte strings.
156 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
157 leaking.
158
159 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
160 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.

162 methods.

182 - preliminary tagged decoding to arrayref.
183 - indefinite encoding fixed.
