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
11 1.82 Tue Dec 1 02:47:40 CET 2020
12 - add CBOR::XS::as_bool cast function.
13
14 1.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
15 - cast functions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
16 what you get for not having a tessuite.
17 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
18 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
19 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
20
21 1.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
22 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
23 raw cbor data.
24
25 1.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
26 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
27 thrown in callbacks.
28 - update libecb.
29
30 1.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
31 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
32 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
33 sources.
34 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
35 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
36 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
37 could cause an endless loop.
38
39 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
40 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
41 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
42 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
43 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
44 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
45 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
46 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
47 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
48 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
49 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
50 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
51 data is available.
52 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
53 a tagged value.
54 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
55 a hash key throws an exception.
56 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
57 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
58
59 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
60 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
61 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
62 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
63 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
64 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
65 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
66 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
67 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
68 for both en- and decoding.
69 - implement support for rational numbers (see
70 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
71 en- and decoding.
72 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
73 in a sensible manner.
74 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
75 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
76 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
77 tests.
78 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
79 - use stability canary.
80
81 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
82 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
83 Victor Efimov).
84
85 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
86 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
87 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
88 This can potentially leak information in the error message
89 or crash the process.
90 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
91 - upgrade libecb.
92
93 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
94 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
95 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
96 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
97 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
98 have 64 bit integer support.
99 - upgrade libecb.
100
101 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
102 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
103 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
104
105 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
106 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
107 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
108 this as a tag 1 string.
109 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
110
111 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
112 - implement an incremental decoder.
113
114 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
115 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
116 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
117
118 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
119 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
120 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
121 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
122 - more tests added.
123
124 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
125 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
126 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
127 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
128 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
129 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
130 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
131 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
132 - major code overhaul.
133
134 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
135 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
136 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
137 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
138 - port to perl <= 5.16.
139 - slightly improve the documentation.
140
141 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
142 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
143 - uri support.
144 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
145 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
146 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
147 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
148 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
149 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
150
151 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
152 - defused another too fragile test.
153
154 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
155 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
156 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
157 are utf-8 or byte strings.
158 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
159 leaking.
160
161 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
162 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
163 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
164 methods.
165
166 0.05 Mon Oct 28 22:27:47 CET 2013

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

176 - improve 32 bit platform compatibility.
177 - take more advantage of ecb.h.

183 - add $CBOR::XS::MAGIC.
184 - preliminary tagged decoding to arrayref.
185 - indefinite encoding fixed.
186 - half float decoding implemented.
