1 Release history for FCGI
3 Version 0.81 -- 2021-07-31
5 - Add dependency to FCGI::Client 0.09 so as to not depend on Any::Moose,
6 which is deprecated. (Michal Josef Špaček, PR #7)
7 - fix test failures on MSWin32 ((Michal Josef Špaček, PR #8)
9 Version 0.80 -- 2021-07-24
11 - Add test for FCGI over unix domain socket (Michal Josef Špaček, PR #6)
13 Version 0.79 -- 2019-12-14
15 - Check socket path length in OS_CreateLocalIpcFd() and OS_FcgiConnect()
16 to avoid buffer overrun (Petr Písař, pull request #5)
17 - Fix a memory leak in ProcessManagementRecord() (Petr Písař, pull request #4)
19 Version 0.78 -- 2015-03-07
21 - make copyright and license information more visible (RT#112535)
23 Version 0.77 -- 2014-08-05
25 - re-release to remove build artifacts that should not have been shipped
27 Version 0.76 -- 2014-08-05
29 - On Android, set TMPDIR before calling configure (RT#97680, Brian Fraser)
31 Version 0.75 -- 2014-07-17
33 - deprecated APIs removed (chansen)
34 - broken PP implementation removed (chansen)
35 - retooled distribution so FCGI.pm and FCGI.xs exist as-is, rather than
36 being generated by FCGI.PL and FCGI.XL (chansen)
38 Version 0.74 -- 24 Sep 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
39 - Stop leaking information across requests when using the deprecated
40 and undocumented old FCGI interface. This is CVE-2011-2766.
41 - Only discard input stream if FCGI_KEEP_CONN is set in
42 FCGI_BeginRequestBody flags.
44 Version 0.73 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
45 - Stop claiming we ship a file called -e in the MANIFEST.
47 Version 0.72 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
48 - Clean up Makefile.PL and restore compatibility with recent
49 ExtUtils::MakeMaker versions.
51 Version 0.71_03 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
52 - Remove support for sfio which is an optional (and not enabled by default)
53 compile option to perl that is never used.
54 - Fix FCGI::Stream::READ() to warn() instead of croak() incase of
55 wide characters which cannot be gracefully downgraded.
56 - Fix warnings due to wide characters being mangled to note that accepting
57 them is deprecated and will stop working at some point.
58 - Various fixes to FCGI::Stream::READ() to improve handling of error and
60 - croak if called with invalid number of arguments
61 - croak if length is negative
62 - croak if offset is outside string
63 - pad scalar if offset is greater than length
64 - Fix in FCGX_Finish_r to discard any remaining data in input stream
65 which otherwise ends up in next request. This fixes multiple requests
66 being broken if something goes wrong whilst reading the initial request.
67 This discarding is done silently, as RFC 3875 says a script is not
68 obliged to read any of the data.
69 - Fixed indent style and braces to be consistent, swapped tabs for spaces
72 Version 0.71_02 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
73 - Change the Request function to pass FAIL_ON_INTR into the XS
74 RequestX function. This prevents the fcgi C client code from
75 looping around their accept() call. This change means that
76 when using CGI::Fast, and the process recieves SIGTERM or
77 SIGHUP, the error statusis correctly passed back up, allowing process
78 managers (such as FCGI::ProcManager) to correctly handle cleanly exiting.
80 Version 0.71_01 -- 24 Aug 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
81 - Restore old behavior when un-downgradeable uft8 is sent to FCGI.
82 The first time this happens, a warning will be issued, but subsequently
83 the bytes will be sent through raw (causing double encoding etc).
84 If the character string can be downgraded safely, then it will still be.
85 use warnings FATAL => 'utf8'; can be used to make undowngradeable strings
87 - Fix PRINT retval (Closes: RT#57697).
89 Version 0.71 -- 1 Apr 2010 <rafl@debian.org> Florian Ragwitz
90 - Fix some more defined(%hash) warnings on perl 5.12.
92 Version 0.70 -- 22 Mar 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net> Tomas Doran
93 - Fix use of defined %hash which becomes deprecated in perl 5.12
95 Version 0.69 -- 15 Feb 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
96 - No changes since the previous development release.
98 Version 0.68_02 -- 13 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
99 - Make the PRINT method return a boolean value rather than the
100 number of bytes written, previous patch was incorrect.
102 Version 0.68_01 -- 10 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
103 - Force signal handler installation so that we correctly install handlers
104 for SIGPIPE. Fixes RT#5100 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
105 - Make the PRINT method return the number of bytes written rather than
106 undef to be consistent with the IO:: interface. Fixes RT#24347
108 - Fix UTF-8 double encoding when FCGI is passed octets by downgrading
109 them into bytes correctly. Fixes RT#52400 <chansen@cpan.org>
111 Version 0.68 -- 31 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
112 - No changes since the previous development release.
114 Version 0.67_01 -- 20 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
115 - Add FILENO method which returns a defined but invalid value to
116 placate things such as IPC::Run which call fileno to check if a
