Revision 0.4.8, released 16-11-2019
-----------------------------------
- Added ability of combining `SingleValueConstraint` and
`PermittedAlphabetConstraint` objects into one for proper modeling
`FROM ... EXCEPT ...` ASN.1 clause.
Revision 0.4.7, released 01-09-2019
-----------------------------------
- Added `isInconsistent` property to all constructed types. This property
conceptually replaces `verifySizeSpec` method to serve a more general
purpose e.g. ensuring all required fields are in a good shape. By default
this check invokes subtype constraints verification and is run by codecs
on value de/serialisation.
- Deprecate `subtypeSpec` attributes and keyword argument. It is now
recommended to pass `ValueSizeConstraint`, as well as all other constraints,
to `subtypeSpec`.
- Fixed a design bug in a way of how the items assigned to constructed
types are verified. Now if `Asn1Type`-based object is assigned, its
compatibility is verified based on having all tags and constraint
objects as the type in field definition. When a bare Python value is
assigned, then field type object is cloned and initialized with the
bare value (constraints verificaton would run at this moment).
- Added `WithComponentsConstraint` along with related
`ComponentPresentConstraint` and `ComponentAbsentConstraint` classes
to be used with `Sequence`/`Set` types representing
`SET ... WITH COMPONENTS ...` like ASN.1 constructs.
Revision 0.4.6, released 31-07-2019
-----------------------------------
- Added previously missing `SET OF ANY` construct encoding/decoding support.
- Added `omitEmptyOptionals` option which is respected by `Sequence`
and `Set` encoders. When `omitEmptyOptionals` is set to `True`, empty
initialized optional components are not encoded. Default is `False`.
- New elements to `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` objects can now be added at any
position - the requirement for the new elements to reside at the end
of the existing ones (i.e. s[len(s)] = 123) is removed.
- List-like slicing support added to `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` objects.
- Removed default initializer from `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` types to ensure
consistent behaviour with the rest of ASN.1 types. Before this change,
`SequenceOf`/`SetOf` instances immediately become value objects behaving
like an empty list. With this change, `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` objects
remain schema objects unless a component is added or `.clear()` is
called.
This change can potentially cause incompatibilities with existing
pyasn1 objects which assume `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` instances are value
objects right upon instantiation.
The behaviour of `Sequence`/`Set` types depends on the `componentType`
initializer: if on `componentType` is given, the behaviour is the
same as `SequenceOf`/`SetOf` have. IF `componentType` is given, but
neither optional nor defaulted components are present, the created
instance remains schema object, If, however, either optional or
defaulted component isi present, the created instance immediately
becomes a value object.
- Added `.reset()` method to all constructed types to turn value object
into a schema object.
- Added `PyAsn1UnicodeDecodeError`/`PyAsn1UnicodeDecodeError` exceptions
to help the caller treating unicode errors happening internally
to pyasn1 at the upper layers.
- Added support for subseconds CER/DER encoding edge cases in
`GeneralizedTime` codec.
- Fixed 3-digit fractional seconds value CER/DER encoding of
`GeneralizedTime`.
- Fixed `AnyDecoder` to accept possible `TagMap` as `asn1Spec`
to make dumping raw value operational
Revision 0.4.5, released 29-12-2018
-----------------------------------
- Debug logging refactored for more efficiency when disabled and
for more functionality when in use. Specifically, the global
LOG object can easily be used from any function/method, not just
from codec main loop as it used to be.
- More debug logging added to BER family of codecs to ease encoding
problems troubleshooting.
- Copyright notice extended to the year 2019
- Fixed defaulted constructed SEQUENCE component initialization.
Revision 0.4.4, released 26-07-2018
-----------------------------------
- Fixed native encoder type map to include all ASN.1 types
rather than just ambiguous ones
- Fixed crash in `.prettyPrint` of `Sequence` and `Set` occurring
at OPTIONAL components
Revision 0.4.3, released 23-05-2018
-----------------------------------
- Copyright notice extended to the year 2018
- Fixed GeneralizedTime.asDateTime to perform milliseconds conversion
correctly
Revision 0.4.2, released 23-11-2017
-----------------------------------
- Fixed explicit tag splitting in chunked encoding mode at
OctetString and BitString encoders
Revision 0.4.1, released 23-11-2017
-----------------------------------
- ANY DEFINED BY clause support implemented
- Encoders refactored to take either a value (as ASN.1 object)
or a Python value plus ASN.1 schema
- BitString decoder optimised for better performance when running on
constructed encoding
- Constructed types' .getComponentBy*() methods accept the `default`
parameter to return instead if schema object is to be returned
- Constructed types' .getComponentBy*() methods accept the `instantiate`
parameter to disable automatic inner component instantiation
- The ASN.1 types' `__repr__` implementation reworked for better readability
at the cost of not being `eval`-compliant
- Most ASN.1 types' `__str__` magic methods (except for OctetString and
character types) reworked to call `.prettyPrint()` rather than
`.prettyPrint` calling `__str__` as it was before. The intention is
to eventually deprecate `.prettyPrint()` in favor of `str()`.
The other related change is that `str()` of enumerations and boolean
types will return string label instead of number.
- Fixed Choice.clear() to fully reset internal state of the object
- Sphinx documentation rearranged, simplified and reworded
- The `isValue` singleton is now the only way to indicate ASN.1 schema
as opposed to ASN.1 schema instance. The legacy `None` initializer
support has been removed.
- Changed `Null` object initialization behaviour: previous default
value (`''`) is not set anymore. Thus `Null()` call produces a
ASN.1 schema object, while `Null('')` - value object.
- Migrated all docs and references from SourceForge
- Imports PEP8'ed
- Fixed ASN.1 encoder not to omit empty substrate produced for inner
component if the inner component belongs to the simple class (as
opposed to constructed class)
- Fixed CER/DER encoders to respect tagged CHOICE when ordering
SET components
- Fixed ASN.1 types not to interfere with the Pickle protocol
- Fixed Sequence/SequenceOf types decoding heuristics in schema-less
decoding mode

- Fixed crash at SequenceOf native decoder
- Fixed Real.prettyPrint() to fail gracefully on overflow
- Fixed a couple of crashes when debug mode is enabled
Revision 0.3.4, released 07-09-2017

the componentType property
- Added missing component-less SEQUENCE/SET objects dict duck-typing support
- Fixed unnecessary duplicate tags detection at NamesType.tagMap
- Fixed crash at SEQUENCE and SEQUENCE OF CER encoder when running
in schemaless mode
- Fixed Character types instantiation from OctetString type -- double
unicode decoding may have scrambled the data
Revision 0.3.3, released 27-08-2017
-----------------------------------
- Improved ASN.1 types instantiation performance
- Improved BER/CER/DER decoder performance by not unconditionally casting

cases)
- Fixed documentation markup issues.
Revision 0.3.1, released 26-07-2017
-----------------------------------
- ASN.1 types __init__(), .clone() and .subtype() signatures
refactored into keyword arguments to simplify their signatures.
- ASN.1 types initialization refactored to minimize the use of
relatively expensive isNoValue() call
- Lazily pre-populate list of values of Sequence/Set/Choice types
- NamedTypes comparison made more efficient
- More efficient constraints computation and code clean up
- The __getitem__() implementation of some ASN.1 types & tag object
refactored for better performance
- BER/CER/DER value encoders refactored to produce either tuple of
bytes or octet-stream depending on what is more optimal
- Reduced the frequency of expensive isinstance() calls
- Tag-related classes optimized, refactored into properties and
documented.
- The NamedValues implementation refactored to mimic Python dict, its use
in ASN.1 types refactored into properties and better documented.
WARNING: this change introduces a deviation from original API.
- NamedType family of classes overhauled, optimized and documented.
- The `componentType` attribute of constructed ASN.1 types turned
read-only on instances.
- Sequence/Set DER/CER/DER decoder optimized to skip the case of
reordered components handling when not necessary.
- Tags and constraints-related getter methods refactored into read-only
instance attributes.
- The .hasValue() method refactored into .isValue property. All ASN.1
objects now support them, not just scalars.
- The Real.{isInfinity, isPlusInfinity, isMinusInfinity} methods
refactored into properties and renamed into IsInf, IsPlusInf and isMinusInf
- The end-of-octets type refactored to ensure it is a singleton. Codecs
changed to rely on that for better performance.
- Codecs lookup made more efficient at BER/CER/DER decoder main loop by
assigning `typeId` to every ASN.1 type, not just ambiguous ones.
- The .getComponent*() methods of constructed ASN.1 types changed
to lazily instantiate underlying type rather than return `None`.
This should simplify its API as initialization like `X[0][1] = 2` becomes
possible.
WARNING: this change introduces a deviation from the original API.
- The .setComponent*() methods of SetOf/SequenceOf types changed not
to allow uninitialized "holes" inside the sequences of their components.
They now behave similarly to Python lists.
WARNING: this change introduces a deviation from the original API.
- Default and optional components en/decoding of Constructed type
refactored towards better efficiency and more control.
- OctetsString and Any decoder optimized to avoid creating ASN.1
objects for chunks of substrate. Instead they now join substrate
chunks together and create ASN.1 object from it just once.
- The GeneralizedTime and UTCTime types now support to/from Python
datetime object conversion.
- Unit tests added for the `compat` sub-package.
- Fixed BitString named bits initialization bug.
- Fixed non-functional tag cache (when running Python 2) at DER decoder.
- Fixed chunked encoding restriction on DER encoder.
- Fixed SET components ordering at DER encoder.
- Fixed BIT STRING & OCTET STRING encoding to be always non-chunked (e.g.
primitive) at DER encoder
- Fixed `compat.integer.from_bytes()` behaviour on empty input.
Revision 0.2.3, released 25-02-2017
-----------------------------------
- Improved SEQUENCE/SET/CHOICE decoding performance by maintaining a single shared
NamedType object for all instances of SEQUENCE/SET object.
- Improved INTEGER encoding/decoding by switching to Python's built-in
integer serialisation functions.
- Improved BitString performance by rebasing it onto Python int type and leveraging
fast Integer serialisation functions.
- BitString type usability improved in many ways: for example bitshifting and
numeric operation on BitString is now possible.
- Minor ObjectIdentifier type performance optimization.
- ASN.1 character types refactored to keep unicode contents internally
(rather than serialised octet stream) and duck-type it directly.
- ASN.1 OctetString initialized from a Python object performs bytes()
on it when running on Python 3 (used to do str() which is probably
less logical).
- Missing support for NoValue.__sizeof__ added.
- Added checks to make sure SEQUENCE/SET components being assigned
match the prototypes.
- Setter methods for constructed types consistently accept matchTags
and matchConstraints flags to control the strictness of inner
components compatibility verification. Previously, these checks
were tied to verifyConstraints flag, now they are all independent.
- General documentation improvements here and there.
- Fix to __reversed__() magic to make it returning an iterator.
- Test suite simplified and unified.
- The __all__ variable added to most of the Python modules.
- The "test" directory renamed into "tests" not to collide with
the "test" module.
Revision 0.2.2, released 07-02-2017
-----------------------------------
- FIX TO A SECURITY WEAKNESS: define length only decoders could have successfully
processed indefinite length serialisation.
- FIX TO A SECURITY WEAKNESS: canonical decoders (CER/DER) may have successfully
consumed non-canonical variations of (otherwise valid) serialisation.
- Broken Enumerated subtyping fixed.
Revision 0.2.1, released 05-02-2017
-----------------------------------
- FIX TO A SECURITY WEAKNESS: BER decoder improperly cached long tags.
- New "native" codec implemented to transform pyasn1 types to Python built-in types and back.
- Switched to new-style classes.
- Sphinx documentation added.
- BitString improvements:
* simple string of binary digits is now supported as initializer
* default str() yields string of binary digits (used to yield str(tuple())
* binValue and hexValue initializers added
* .asNumbers(), .asOctets() and asInteger() representation added
- Components of constructed ASN.1 types can now be populated with
uninitialized ASN.1 objects by assigning either noValue sentinel or
setupComponent() function return in addition to now-legacy None sentinel.
This should improve code readability.
- NoValue class improved to become a singleton and catch more kinds
of access to it.
- Compatibility wrappers str2octs() and oct2strs() fixed to run over
iso-8859-1 encoding.
- Integer changed to emit Real instance if division produces a float.
- True division operation now supported by Integer type.
- The __contains__(), __reverse__() methods implemented for container types
- Iterator protocol support implemented for all container types.
Warning, warning, warning: this change may potentially affect backward
compatibility when:
* user class overrides __getitem__() without overriding __iter__()
* when user code iterates over SEQUENCE object to get its components (now keys will be yielded)
- Almost complete Python list and dict protocols added to SequenceOf/SetOf and
Sequence/Set respectively
- Fix to divmod operation implementation in Integer type.
- Fix to IntegerDecoder's precomputed value map on Python 3.
- Fix to base ASN.1 types to run in "unicode_literals" mode.
- Fix to composite constraints "+" operands ordering (AbstractConstraintSet.__radd__)
- Fix to constraints merge in .subtype() -- on merge existing constraints are
expanded to accommodate new constraints, not the other way round. When existing
constraints are wrapped in ConstraintsIntersection composite, additional
constraints being added on subtyping effectively further narrow the set of
allowed values, which aligns well with the notion of subtyping.
- Fix to NamedTypes methods to handle .getTagMap() returning None
- Fix to Set/Sequence.setDefaultComponents() to return self
- Copyright notice added to non-trivial source code files.
- Author's email changed, copyright extended to 2017

-----------------------------------
- ObjectIdentifier codec fixed to work properly with arc 0 and arc 2 values.
- Explicit limit on ObjectIdentifier arc value size removed.

to facilitate encoding errors analysis.
- The __str__() method implemented to Tag, TagSet and TagMap classes to
ease encoding errors troubleshooting.
easing encoding errors
- Fix to SEQUENCE and SET types to give them their private componentTypes
collection (which is a NamedTypes object) so that they won't collide in
a MT execution environment.
- Missing T61String,ISO646String character types and ObjectDescriptor useful
type added.
- Distribute is gone, switched to setuptools completely.
- Missing NamedValues.__repr__() added.
- The base.NoValue() class, that indicates uninitialized ASN.1 object,
made public.
- The base.NoValue() class instances now support __repr__() what makes
possible to perform repr() on uninitialized pyasn1 types objects.
- When comparing ASN.1 types, by-tag and/or by-constraints matching
can now be performed with the isSuperTypeOf()/isSameTypeWith() optional
flags.
- Constructed types now verify their consistency by invoking
isSameTypeWith(matchTags=True, matchConstraints=False) and
isSuperTypeOf(matchTags=False, matchConstraints=True) for each of their
components rather than isSuperTypeOf() as it used to be. Constriants check
could be enforced to isSameTypeWith() with the strictConstraints=True
constructed classes attribute.
- Constructed types can now be initialized with new .setComponents() method
which accepts both var-args and keyword-args. Default repr() modified to
reflect this change.
- NamedTypes() and NamedValues() made comparable.
- Test coverage extended to cover pyasn1 types __repr__() function.
- The abs(Integer()) & abs(Real()) operation now returns respective pyasn1
type, not a Python type.
- More Python magic methods implementations added to Integer & Real classes
(e.g. __pos__, __neg__, __round__, __floor__, __ceil__, __trunc__)
- The Integer.__invert__ Python magic method implemented.
- The OctetString.__int__() and .__float__() magic methods implemented.
- Handle the case of null writer at Debug printer.
- BitString encoder/decoder performance improved.
- Built-in debugging is now based on Python logging module.
- Fix to NamedType.__repr__() to work properly.
- Fixes to __repr__() implementation of many built-in ASN.1 types to take into
account all of their initializers such as tagSet, subtypeSpec etc.
- String typed float initializer to REAL type now supported.
- Float typed mantissa initializer to REAL type for base 2 added.
- Encoding bases 8 and 16 support for REAL type binary encoder added.
- More strict CER/DER encoders added for GeneralizedTime and UTCTime types.
- Asn1Item.hasValue() added to easily distinguish initalized ASN.1 objects
from uninitialized ones (e.g. pure types).
- Fix to REAL type binary decoder to handle different bases and scale factor.
- Fix to TagSet.repr() to include [obsolete] baseTag information.
- Fix to broken REAL type decoding handling.
- Fix to BitString and OctetString decoders dealing with constructed
encoding -- it used to be possible to embed other types in substrate.
- DER codec hardened not to tolerate indefinite length encoding/decoding.
- Fix to end-of-octest sentinel handling:
+ require strict two-zeros sentinel encoding
+ recognize EOO sentinel only when explicitly requested by caller
of the decoder via allowEoo=True parameter (warning: API change)
Revision 0.1.7
--------------
- License updated to vanilla BSD 2-Clause to ease package use
(https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause).
- Test suite made discoverable by unittest/unittest2 discovery feature.
- Fix to decoder working on indefinite length substrate -- end-of-octets
marker is now detected by both tag and value. Otherwise zero values may
interfere with end-of-octets marker.
- Fix to decoder to fail in cases where tagFormat indicates inappropriate
format for the type (e.g. BOOLEAN is always PRIMITIVE, SET is always
CONSTRUCTED and OCTET STRING is either of the two)
- Fix to REAL type encoder to force primitive encoding form encoding.
- Fix to CHOICE decoder to handle explicitly tagged, indefinite length
mode encoding
- Fix to REAL type decoder to handle negative REAL values correctly. Test
case added.
Revision 0.1.6
--------------
- The compact (valueless) way of encoding zero INTEGERs introduced in
0.1.5 seems to fail miserably as the world is filled with broken
BER decoders. So we had to back off the *encoder* for a while.
There's still the IntegerEncoder.supportCompactZero flag which
enables compact encoding form whenever it evaluates to True.
- Report package version on debugging code initialization.
Revision 0.1.5
--------------
- Documentation updated and split into chapters to better match
web-site contents.
- Make prettyPrint() working for non-initialized pyasn1 data objects. It
used to throw an exception.
- Fix to encoder to produce empty-payload INTEGER values for zeros
- Fix to decoder to support empty-payload INTEGER and REAL values
- Fix to unit test suites imports to be able to run each from
their current directory
Revision 0.1.4
--------------
- Built-in codec debugging facility added
- Added some more checks to ObjectIdentifier BER encoder catching
posible 2^8 overflow condition by two leading sub-OIDs
- Implementations overriding the AbstractDecoder.valueDecoder method
changed to return the rest of substrate behind the item being processed
rather than the unprocessed substrate within the item (which is usually
empty).
- Decoder's recursiveFlag feature generalized as a user callback function
which is passed an uninitialized object recovered from substrate and
its uninterpreted payload.
- Catch inappropriate substrate type passed to decoder.
- Expose tagMap/typeMap/Decoder objects at DER decoder to uniform API.
- Obsolete __init__.MajorVersionId replaced with __init__.__version__
which is now in-sync with distutils.
- Package classifiers updated.
- The __init__.py's made non-empty (rumors are that they may be optimized
out by package managers).
- Bail out gracefully whenever Python version is older than 2.4.
- Fix to Real codec exponent encoding (should be in 2's complement form),
some more test cases added.
- Fix in Boolean truth testing built-in methods
- Fix to substrate underrun error handling at ObjectIdentifier BER decoder
- Fix to BER Boolean decoder that allows other pre-computed
values besides 0 and 1
- Fix to leading 0x80 octet handling in DER/CER/DER ObjectIdentifier decoder.

+ switch to rich comparation
+ drop explicit long integer type use
+ map()/filter() replaced with list comprehension
+ apply() replaced with \*/\*\*args
+ switched to use 'key' sort() callback function

+ modified not to use py3k-incompatible exception syntax
+ getslice() operator fully replaced with getitem()
+ dictionary operations made 2K/3K compatible
+ base type for encoding substrate and OctetString-based types
is now 'bytes' when running py3k and 'str' otherwise
+ OctetString and derivatives now unicode compliant.
+ OctetString now supports two python-neutral getters: asOcts() & asInts()
+ print OctetString content in hex whenever it is not printable otherwise
+ in test suite, implicit relative import replaced with the absolute one
+ in test suite, string constants replaced with numerics

- Fix to proper behaviour of PermittedAlphabetConstraint object.
- Fix to improper Boolean substrate handling at CER/DER decoders.
- Changes towards performance improvement:

(this breaks compatibility with Python 2.1 and older).
+ tag and tagset caches introduced to decoder
+ decoder code improved to prevent unnecessary pyasn1 objects creation
+ allow disabling components verification when setting components to

Revision 0.0.12a
----------------
- The individual tag/length/value processing methods of
encoder.AbstractItemEncoder renamed (leading underscore stripped)
to promote overloading in cases where partial substrate processing
is required.
- The ocsp.py, ldap.py example scripts added.
- Fix to univ.ObjectIdentifier input value handler to disallow negative
sub-IDs.
Revision 0.0.11a
----------------
- Decoder can now treat values of unknown types as opaque OctetString.
- Fix to Set/SetOf type decoder to handle uninitialized scalar SetOf
components correctly.
Revision 0.0.10a
----------------
- API versioning mechanics retired (pyasn1.v1 -> pyasn1) what makes
it possible to zip-import pyasn1 sources (used by egg and py2exe).
Revision 0.0.9a
---------------
- Allow any non-zero values in Boolean type BER decoder, as it's in
accordnance with the standard.
Revision 0.0.8a
---------------
- Integer.__index__() now supported (for Python 2.5+).
- Fix to empty value encoding in BitString encoder, test case added.
- Fix to SequenceOf decoder that prevents it skipping possible Choice
typed inner component.
- Choice.getName() method added for getting currently set component
name.

- Fix to Tag class constructor to prevent negative IDs.
Revision 0.0.6a
---------------
- Make use of setuptools.
- Constraints derivation verification (isSuperTypeOf()/isSubTypeOf()) fixed.
- Fix to constraints comparation logic -- can't cmp() hash values as it
may cause false positives due to hash conflicts.
Revision 0.0.5a
---------------
- Integer BER codec reworked fixing negative values encoding bug.
- clone() and subtype() methods of Constructed ASN.1 classes now
accept optional cloneValueFlag flag which controls original value
inheritance. The default is *not* to inherit original value for
performance reasons (this may affect backward compatibility).
Performance penalty may be huge on deeply nested Constructed objects
re-creation.
- Base ASN.1 types (pyasn1.type.univ.*) do not have default values
anymore. They remain uninitialized acting as ASN.1 types. In
this model, initialized ASN.1 types represent either types with
default value installed or a type instance.
- Decoders' prototypes are now class instances rather than classes.
This is to simplify initial value installation to decoder's
prototype value.
- Bugfix to BitString BER decoder (trailing bits not regarded).
- Bugfix to Constraints use as mapping keys.
- Bugfix to Integer & BitString clone() methods
- Bugix to the way to distinguish Set from SetOf at CER/DER SetOfEncoder
