1 Release history for FCGI
3 Version 0.78 -- 2015-03-07
5 o make copyright and license information more visible (RT#112535)
7 Version 0.77 -- 2014-08-05
9 o re-release to remove build artifacts that should not have been shipped
11 Version 0.76 -- 2014-08-05
13 o On Android, set TMPDIR before calling configure (RT#97680, Brian Fraser)
15 Version 0.75 -- 2014-07-17
17 o deprecated APIs removed (chansen)
18 o broken PP implementation removed (chansen)
19 o retooled distribution so FCGI.pm and FCGI.xs exist as-is, rather than
20 being generated by FCGI.PL and FCGI.XL (chansen)
22 Version 0.74 -- 24 Sep 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
23 o Stop leaking information across requests when using the deprecated
24 and undocumented old FCGI interface. This is CVE-2011-2766.
25 o Only discard input stream if FCGI_KEEP_CONN is set in
26 FCGI_BeginRequestBody flags.
28 Version 0.73 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
29 o Stop claiming we ship a file called -e in the MANIFEST.
31 Version 0.72 -- 19 May 2011 <rafl@debian.org>
32 o Clean up Makefile.PL and restore compatibility with recent
33 ExtUtils::MakeMaker versions.
35 Version 0.71_03 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
36 o Remove support for sfio which is an optional (and not enabled by default)
37 compile option to perl that is never used.
38 o Fix FCGI::Stream::READ() to warn() instead of croak() incase of
39 wide characters which cannot be gracefully downgraded.
40 o Fix warnings due to wide characters being mangled to note that accepting
41 them is deprecated and will stop working at some point.
42 o Various fixes to FCGI::Stream::READ() to improve handling of error and
44 - croak if called with invalid number of arguments
45 - croak if length is negative
46 - croak if offset is outside string
47 - pad scalar if offset is greater than length
48 o Fix in FCGX_Finish_r to discard any remaining data in input stream
49 which otherwise ends up in next request. This fixes multiple requests
50 being broken if something goes wrong whilst reading the initial request.
51 This discarding is done silently, as RFC 3875 says a script is not
52 obliged to read any of the data.
53 o Fixed indent style and braces to be consistent, swapped tabs for spaces
56 Version 0.71_02 -- 28 Apr 2011 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
57 o Change the Request function to pass FAIL_ON_INTR into the XS
58 RequestX function. This prevents the fcgi C client code from
59 looping around their accept() call. This change means that
60 when using CGI::Fast, and the process recieves SIGTERM or
61 SIGHUP, the error statusis correctly passed back up, allowing process
62 managers (such as FCGI::ProcManager) to correctly handle cleanly exiting.
64 Version 0.71_01 -- 24 Aug 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
65 o Restore old behavior when un-downgradeable uft8 is sent to FCGI.
66 The first time this happens, a warning will be issued, but subsequently
67 the bytes will be sent through raw (causing double encoding etc).
68 If the character string can be downgraded safely, then it will still be.
69 use warnings FATAL => 'utf8'; can be used to make undowngradeable strings
71 o Fix PRINT retval (Closes: RT#57697).
73 Version 0.71 -- 1 Apr 2010 <rafl@debian.org> Florian Ragwitz
74 o Fix some more defined(%hash) warnings on perl 5.12.
76 Version 0.70 -- 22 Mar 2010 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net> Tomas Doran
77 o Fix use of defined %hash which becomes deprecated in perl 5.12

80 o No changes since the previous development release.
82 Version 0.68_02 -- 13 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
83 o Make the PRINT method return a boolean value rather than the
84 number of bytes written, previous patch was incorrect.
86 Version 0.68_01 -- 10 Jan 2010 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
87 o Force signal handler installation so that we correctly install handlers
88 for SIGPIPE. Fixes RT#5100 <bobtfish@bobtfish.net>
89 o Make the PRINT method return the number of bytes written rather than
90 undef to be consistent with the IO:: interface. Fixes RT#24347
92 o Fix UTF-8 double encoding when FCGI is passed octets by downgrading
93 them into bytes correctly. Fixes RT#52400 <chansen@cpan.org>
95 Version 0.68 -- 31 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
96 o No changes since the previous development release.
98 Version 0.67_01 -- 20 Dec 2009 <mst@shadowcat.co.uk> Matt S Trout
99 o Add FILENO method which returns a defined but invalid value to
100 placate things such as IPC::Run which call fileno to check if a
