7 Version 0.81 -- 2021-07-31

31 Version 0.76 -- 2014-08-05

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