2
3 TODO: pack_keys?
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 TODO: as_object -> key value pair list to allow non-string hash keys
13 TODO: sharefdref should not shar references, but copies of references to the same referent
14 - \0, \1, \undef do not work, and were not intended to ever work, as
15 special values, despite being mentioned in the documentation (reported
16 by nuclightq).
17
18 1.86 Thu 04 Nov 2021 17:48:16 CET
19 - fixed a wrong printf format specifier (reported by Petr Písař).
20
21 1.85 Sat 23 Oct 2021 04:59:56 CEST
22 - left debugging printf in code, need a test for that :(
23
24 1.84 Thu 21 Oct 2021 03:11:52 CEST
25 - fix a bug in validate_utf8 where we call perl's is_utf8_string with
26 a lenght of zero for empty strings, but perl interprets that as
27 "calculate length", causing spurious validation errors for
28 empty strings.
29 - include validate_utf8 in new_safe.
30 - avoid some warnings.
31
32 1.83 Tue Dec 8 09:27:06 CET 2020
33 - add CBOR::XS::as_map cast function.
34
35 1.82 Tue Dec 1 02:47:40 CET 2020
36 - add CBOR::XS::as_bool cast function.
37
38 1.81 Mon Nov 30 19:29:33 CET 2020
39 - cast functions were broken due to last-minute renaming. thats
40 what you get for not having a tessuite.
41 - Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat are pretty broken (again),
42 so disable some tests. (try printing the bigfloat
43 799999999999999999998E99999999999999999998).
44
45 1.8 Sun Nov 29 22:35:13 CET 2020
46 - experimental support for some type casts, as well as embedding
47 raw cbor data.
48
49 1.71 Thu Nov 15 20:52:13 CET 2018
50 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
51 thrown in callbacks.
52 - update libecb.
53
54 1.7 Tue Jun 27 04:02:23 CEST 2017
55 - SECURITY FIX: fix two bugs found by american fuzzy lop,
56 upgrade is advised if you accept data from untrusted
57 sources.
58 - an out-of bound sharedref or stringref index could cause an
59 out of bounds access - might be exploitable.
60 - a decoding error during indefinite array or hash decoding
61 could cause an endless loop.
62
63 1.6 Wed Dec 7 15:13:23 CET 2016
64 - greatly expand the SECURITY IMPLICATIONS and similar sections.
65 - new constructor new_safe, to create a secure CBOR::XS object.
66 - new option forbid_objects, to disallow serialisation.
67 - new CBOR::XS::safe_filter functionality.
68 - fix a crash when decoding a cyclic data structure using
69 stringref/pack_strings when allow_cycles is disabled.
70 - fix a crash when decoding hash keys with length >= 2**31.
71 - avoid unreasonably long decoding times for certain
72 types of (corrupt) cbor texts.
73 - support arrays and hashes with >= 2**31 members.
74 - avoid overflow on pointer arithmetic when checking whether enough
75 data is available.
76 - fix a memory leak that occured when decoding failed while decoding
77 a tagged value.
78 - do not leak the partially constructed result when stringifying
79 a hash key throws an exception.
80 - various code size and efficiency optimizations (reduced code
81 from 42 to 40kB on my system, despite the new features).
82
83 1.5 Wed Apr 27 11:38:39 CEST 2016
84 - Math::BigFloat madness workaround, see
85 http://blog.schmorp.de/2016-04-23-mathbigfloat-maintainer-fail.html
86 (bugreport by zdm@softvisio.net).
87 - add text_keys and text_strings options to force CBOR text encoding
88 for perl hash keys or all strings, as a result of discussions
89 with Fredrik Ljunggren.
90 - implement support for arbitrary-exponent numbers (see
91 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/bigfrac.html, tags 264 and 265)
92 for both en- and decoding.
93 - implement support for rational numbers (see
94 http://peteroupc.github.io/CBOR/rational.html, tag 30) for both
95 en- and decoding.
96 - the above effectively implements all registered CBOR extensions
97 in a sensible manner.
98 - remove some weird dead code that was duplicated (%FILTER).
99 - add t/58_hv.t, which tests hashes and the new text_* flags.
100 hashes apparently were not encoded at all in any of the existing
101 tests.
102 - document Math::BigFloat base-2 performance/crash issues.
103 - use stability canary.
104
105 1.41 Thu 25 Feb 15:22:03 CET 2016
106 - avoid perl panics on nested FREEZE/THAW calls (testcase by
107 Victor Efimov).
108
109 1.4 Mon Feb 8 05:10:15 CET 2016
110 - buffer overflow fix: a fast path during decoding did not check
111 remaining length when decoding hash keys, found by fuzzing.
112 This can potentially leak information in the error message
113 or crash the process.
114 - use C style { 0 } struct initializer.
115 - upgrade libecb.
116
117 1.3 Mon Apr 27 22:21:04 CEST 2015
118 - the incremental parser didn't properly parse tagged values
119 (testcase by Mons Anderson).
120 - slightly speed up encoding of plain (nonmagical) arrays.
121 - try to clarify further that effectively all 32 bit architectures
122 have 64 bit integer support.
123 - upgrade libecb.
124
125 1.26 Sat Oct 25 08:35:44 CEST 2014
126 - update the t/57_incr.t subtest that would rely on 64 bit ints.
127 - disable t/50_rfc.t test that fails because of broken data::dumper.
128
129 1.25 Sun Jan 5 15:19:14 CET 2014
130 - map key decoding was pretty much botched due to the recent cleanups.
131 - work around Time::Piece->epoch returning a string value, avoid encoding
132 this as a tag 1 string.
133 - enable more testcases in t/50_rfc.t, now that they work :)
134
135 1.2 Tue Dec 10 22:06:42 CET 2013
136 - implement an incremental decoder.
137
138 1.12 Tue Dec 3 11:23:22 CET 2013
139 - work around broken Time::Piece (in old versions of the module, %z doesn't
140 work as documented, gives different results on different platforms(!)).
141
142 1.11 Sun Dec 1 18:00:00 CET 2013
143 - new setting: validate_utf8, for when you can't trust your cbor data.
144 - do not leak memory on decoding errors, when allow_cycles is enabled.
145 - add default filters for tags 0 and 1, using Time::Piece.
146 - more tests added.
147
148 1.1 Sat Nov 30 19:14:27 CET 2013
149 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: new decoder setting: allow_cyclic, needed to decode
150 cyclic data structures (to avoid memleaks in unsuspecting code).
151 - no longer "share" references that aren't, i.e. true/false/null/error/tagged.
152 - fix stringref w.r.t. indefinite-length strings.
153 - verify indefinite-length string chunk types.
154 - do not allow extremely large arrays - assume an array element
155 requires at least one CBOR byte, to avoid memory exhaustion attacks.
156 - major code overhaul.
157
158 1.0 Thu Nov 28 16:43:31 CET 2013
159 - use the now official tag values for extensions. remove the
160 experimental notice. it's the real thing now, with real bugs.
161 - renamed allow_stringref to pack_strings.
162 - port to perl <= 5.16.
163 - slightly improve the documentation.
164
165 0.09 Fri Nov 22 16:54:18 CET 2013
166 - bignum/bigfloat/decimal support.
167 - uri support.
168 - tag filter functions support for decoding.
169 - do not support reference-to-1/0/undef anymore, you need to use
170 the Types::Serialiser objects now.
171 - experimental sharable extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
172 - experimental stringref extension support (http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref).
173 - implement indirection tag (http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection).
174
175 0.08 Wed Oct 30 11:10:43 CET 2013
176 - defused another too fragile test.
177
178 0.07 Tue Oct 29 23:04:07 CET 2013
179 - don't crash in decode when silly values are passed in.
180 - considerably speed up map decoding when map keys
181 are utf-8 or byte strings.
182 - raising an exception in THAW should now work without
183 leaking.
184
185 0.06 Tue Oct 29 16:56:07 CET 2013
186 - do not leak when deserialiasing via THAW.
187 - implement and document CBOR::XS creation/access/mutate
188 methods.
189
190 0.05 Mon Oct 28 22:27:47 CET 2013
191 - do not leak hash keys on decoding.

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

200 - improve 32 bit platform compatibility.
201 - take more advantage of ecb.h.
