1 Release history for FCGI
3 Version 0.75 -- 2014-07-17
5 o deprecated APIs removed (chansen)
6 o broken PP implementation removed (chansen)
7 o retooled distribution so FCGI.pm and FCGI.xs exist as-is, rather than
8 being generated by FCGI.PL and FCGI.XL (chansen)
10 Version 0.74 -- 24 Sep 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
11 o Stop leaking information across requests when using the deprecated
12 and undocumented old FCGI interface. This is CVE-2011-2766.
13 o Only discard input stream if FCGI_KEEP_CONN is set in
14 FCGI_BeginRequestBody flags.
16 Version 0.73 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
17 o Stop claiming we ship a file called -e in the MANIFEST.
19 Version 0.72 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
20 o Clean up Makefile.PL and restore compatibility with recent
21 ExtUtils::MakeMaker versions.
23 Version 0.71_03 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
24 o Remove support for sfio which is an optional (and not enabled by default)
25 compile option to perl that is never used.
26 o Fix FCGI::Stream::READ() to warn() instead of croak() incase of
27 wide characters which cannot be gracefully downgraded.
28 o Fix warnings due to wide characters being mangled to note that accepting
29 them is deprecated and will stop working at some point.
30 o Various fixes to FCGI::Stream::READ() to improve handling of error and
32 - croak if called with invalid number of arguments
33 - croak if length is negative
34 - croak if offset is outside string
35 - pad scalar if offset is greater than length
36 o Fix in FCGX_Finish_r to discard any remaining data in input stream
37 which otherwise ends up in next request. This fixes multiple requests
38 being broken if something goes wrong whilst reading the initial request.
39 This discarding is done silently, as RFC 3875 says a script is not
40 obliged to read any of the data.
41 o Fixed indent style and braces to be consistent, swapped tabs for spaces
44 Version 0.71_02 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
45 o Change the Request function to pass FAIL_ON_INTR into the XS
46 RequestX function. This prevents the fcgi C client code from
47 looping around their accept() call. This change means that
48 when using CGI::Fast, and the process recieves SIGTERM or
49 SIGHUP, the error statusis correctly passed back up, allowing process
50 managers (such as FCGI::ProcManager) to correctly handle cleanly exiting.
52 Version 0.71_01 -- 24 Aug 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
53 o Restore old behavior when un-downgradeable uft8 is sent to FCGI.
54 The first time this happens, a warning will be issued, but subsequently
55 the bytes will be sent through raw (causing double encoding etc).
56 If the character string can be downgraded safely, then it will still be.
57 use warnings FATAL => 'utf8'; can be used to make undowngradeable strings
59 o Fix PRINT retval (Closes: RT#57697).
61 Version 0.71 -- 1 Apr 2010 <rafl@debian.org> Florian Ragwitz
62 o Fix some more defined(%hash) warnings on perl 5.12.
64 Version 0.70 -- 22 Mar 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net> Tomas Doran
65 o Fix use of defined %hash which becomes deprecated in perl 5.12
67 Version 0.69 -- 15 Feb 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
68 o No changes since the previous development release.
70 Version 0.68_02 -- 13 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
71 o Make the PRINT method return a boolean value rather than the
72 number of bytes written, previous patch was incorrect.
74 Version 0.68_01 -- 10 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
75 o Force signal handler installation so that we correctly install handlers
76 for SIGPIPE. Fixes RT#5100 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
77 o Make the PRINT method return the number of bytes written rather than
78 undef to be consistent with the IO:: interface. Fixes RT#24347
80 o Fix UTF-8 double encoding when FCGI is passed octets by downgrading
81 them into bytes correctly. Fixes RT#52400 <chansen@cpan.org>
83 Version 0.68 -- 31 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
84 o No changes since the previous development release.
86 Version 0.67_01 -- 20 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
87 o Add FILENO method which returns a defined but invalid value to
88 placate things such as IPC::Run which call fileno to check if a
