4 TODO: document encode_cbor_sharing?
5 TODO: weaken cyclic structures?
6 TODO: large negative integers
7 TODO: type cast tests.
8 TODO: round-tripping of types, such as float16 - maybe types::Serialiser support?
9 TODO: possibly implement https://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/extended.html, but NaNs are nonportable. rely on libecb?
10 TODO: https://github.com/svaarala/cbor-specs/blob/master/cbor-nonutf8-string-tags.rst, but maybe that is overkill?
11
12 1.86 Thu 04 Nov 2021 17:48:16 CET
13 - fixed a wrong printf format specifier (reported by Petr Písař).
14
15 1.85 Sat 23 Oct 2021 04:59:56 CEST
16 - left debugging printf in code, need a test for that :(
17
18 1.84 Thu 21 Oct 2021 03:11:52 CEST
19 - fix a bug in validate_utf8 where we call perl's is_utf8_string with
20 a lenght of zero for empty strings, but perl interprets that as
21 "calculate length", causing spurious validation errors for
22 empty strings.
23 - include validate_utf8 in new_safe.
24 - avoid some warnings.
25
26 1.83 Tue Dec 8 09:27:06 CET 2020
27 - add CBOR::XS::as_map cast function.
28
29 1.82 Tue Dec 1 02:47:40 CET 2020
30 - add CBOR::XS::as_bool cast function.
31
32 1.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
33 - cast functions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
34 what you get for not having a tessuite.
35 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
36 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
37 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
38
39 1.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
40 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
41 raw cbor data.
42
43 1.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
44 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
45 thrown in callbacks.
46 - update libecb.
47
48 1.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
49 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
50 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
51 sources.
52 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
53 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
54 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
55 could cause an endless loop.
56
57 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
58 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
59 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
60 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
61 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
62 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
63 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
64 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
65 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
66 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
67 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
68 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
69 data is available.
70 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
71 a tagged value.
72 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
73 a hash key throws an exception.
74 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
75 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
76
77 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
78 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
79 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
80 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
81 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
82 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
83 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
84 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
85 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
86 for both en- and decoding.
87 - implement support for rational numbers (see
88 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
89 en- and decoding.
90 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
91 in a sensible manner.
92 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
93 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
94 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
95 tests.
96 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
97 - use stability canary.
98
99 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
100 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
101 Victor Efimov).
102
103 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
104 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
105 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
106 This can potentially leak information in the error message
107 or crash the process.
108 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
109 - upgrade libecb.
110
111 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
112 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
113 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
114 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
115 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
116 have 64 bit integer support.
117 - upgrade libecb.
118
119 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
120 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
121 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
122
123 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
124 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
125 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
126 this as a tag 1 string.
127 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
128
129 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
130 - implement an incremental decoder.
131
132 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
133 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
134 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
135
136 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
137 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
138 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
139 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
140 - more tests added.
141
142 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
143 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
144 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
145 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
146 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
147 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
148 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
149 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
150 - major code overhaul.
151
152 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
153 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
154 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
155 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
156 - port to perl <= 5.16.
157 - slightly improve the documentation.
158
159 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
160 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
161 - uri support.
162 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
163 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
164 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
165 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
166 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
167 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
168
169 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
170 - defused another too fragile test.
171
172 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
173 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
174 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
175 are utf-8 or byte strings.
176 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
177 leaking.
178
179 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
180 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
181 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
182 methods.
183
184 0.05 Mon Oct 28 22:27:47 CET 2013

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

194 - improve 32 bit platform compatibility.
195 - take more advantage of ecb.h.
196 - preliminary and bare-bones tagged support.
197 - improved docs.
198
199 0.02 Sat Oct 26 13:08:05 CEST 2013
200 - no aborts left.
201 - add $CBOR::XS::MAGIC.
202 - preliminary tagged decoding to arrayref.
203 - indefinite encoding fixed.
204 - half float decoding implemented.
