## [Unreleased]

### Added

1. oem: meta: Add decode_oem_meta_file_io_write_req()
2. oem: meta: Add decode_oem_meta_file_io_read_req()
3. oem: meta: Add encode_oem_meta_file_io_read_resp()
4. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_remove_contained_entity()
5. pdr: Add pldm_pdr_remove_fru_record_set_by_rsi()
6. pldm_entity_association_tree_copy_root_check()
7. oem: ibm: Add topology related state set and enum

8. base: Add size and buffer macros for struct pldm_msg

   Together these macros reduce the need for use of reinterpret_cast<>() in C++.

### Changed

1. dsp: bios_table: Null check for pldm_bios_table_iter_is_end()

   pldm_bios_table_iter_is_end() now returns true if the provided argument is
   NULL.

2. Register assignment for parameters of a number of APIs changed with increased
   scrutiny on their implementations.

   - `decode_entity_auxiliary_names_pdr()`
   - `decode_get_state_sensor_readings_resp()`
   - `decode_platform_event_message_req()`
   - `decode_platform_event_message_resp()`
   - `decode_sensor_op_data()`
   - `encode_get_state_effecter_states_resp()`
   - `encode_state_effecter_pdr()`
   - `encode_state_sensor_pdr()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_append_pad_checksum()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_enum()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_string()`
   - `pldm_pdr_find_record()`
   - `pldm_pdr_get_next_record()`

3. platform: Support PLDM_CPER_EVENT in encode_platform_event_message_req()

4. dsp: firmware_update: Bounds check
   decode_downstream_device_parameter_table_entry_versions()

   The additional bounds-checking required the addition of further length
   parameters.

### Deprecated

1. oem: meta: Deprecate `decode_oem_meta_file_io_req()`

   Users should switch to `decode_oem_meta_file_io_write_req()`. Modify this
   function to make it safer.

   Modification:

   - The meaning of the returned result.
   - Change parameters from individual pointers to a struct.
   - Check the length provided in the message won't exceed the buffer.

2. pldm_entity_association_tree_copy_root()

   The implementation allocates, but gives no indication to the caller if an
   allocation (and hence the copy) has failed. Users should migrate to
   pldm_entity_association_tree_copy_root_check().

### Removed

1. Deprecated functions with the `_check` suffix

   - `get_fru_record_by_option_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_append_pad_checksum_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_def_num_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_num_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_integer_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_decode_def_string_length_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_enum_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_integer_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_string_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_check()`
   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_from_node_check()`
   - `pldm_pdr_add_check()`
   - `pldm_pdr_add_fru_record_set_check()`

### Fixed

1. dsp: bios_table: Null check for pldm_bios_table_iter_is_end()

   Avoid a caller-controlled NULL pointer dereference in the library
   implementation.

2. platform: fix encode/decode_poll_for_platform_event_message_req

   Update checking of `TransferOperationFlag` and `eventIDToAcknowledge` to
   follow spec.

3. platform: Fix checking `eventIDToAcknowledge`

   As the event receiver sends `PollForPlatformEventMessage` with the
   `tranferFlag` is `AcknowledgementOnly`, the value `eventIDToAcknowledge`
   should be the previously retrieved eventID (from the PLDM terminus).

4. dsp: platform: Prevent overflow of arithmetic on event_data_length
5. dsp: platform: Bounds check encode_sensor_state_pdr()
6. dsp: platform: Bounds check encode_state_effecter_pdr()
7. dsp: pdr: Bounds check pldm_entity_association_pdr_extract()
8. dsp: bios_table: Bounds check pldm_bios_table_append_pad_checksum()
9. dsp: bios_table: Bounds check
   pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_string()
10. dsp: bios_table: Bounds check pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_enum()
11. dsp: firmware_update: Bounds check
    decode_downstream_device_parameter_table_entry_versions()
12. oem: ibm: platform: Bounds check encode_bios_attribute_update_event_req()
13. dsp: fru: Bounds check encode_get_fru_record_by_option_resp()
14. dsp: fru: Bounds check encode_fru_record()
15. dsp: bios: Bounds check encode_set_bios_table_req()
16. dsp: bios: Bounds check encode_set_bios_attribute_current_value_req()
17. dsp: bios_table: Bounds check pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode()

## [0.9.1] - 2024-09-07

### Changed

1. Moved evolutions intended for v0.9.0 into place

   Evolutions for the release have been moved from `evolutions/current` to
   `evolutions/v0.9.1`. Library users can apply them to migrate off of
   deprecated APIs.

## [0.9.0] - 2024-09-07

### Added

1. base: Define macros for reserved TIDs
2. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_contained_entity_to_remote_pdr()
3. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_create_new()
4. platform: Define macros for the responded transferflags
5. pdr: Add pldm_pdr_get_terminus_handle() API
6. pdr: Add related decode_entity_auxiliary_names_pdr() APIs
7. fw_update: Add encode req & decode resp for get_downstream_fw_params
8. platform: Add decode_pldm_platform_cper_event() API
9. decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp_safe()

   Replaces decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp() as discussed in the
   `Deprecated` section below

10. decode_get_pdr_resp_safe()

    Replaces decode_get_pdr_resp() as discussed in the `Deprecated` section
    below

### Changed

1. pdr: Stabilise related decode_entity_auxiliary_names_pdr() APIs
2. platform: Rework decode/encode_pldm_message_poll_event_data() APIs
3. platform: Stabilise decode_pldm_message_poll_event_data() APIs
4. ABI break for decode_sensor_op_data()

   Applying LIBPLDM_CC_NONNULL to the internal msgbuf APIs caused
   abi-compliance-checker to flag a change in the register containing the
   parameter `previous_op_state`.

5. platform: Stabilise decode_pldm_platform_cper_event() API
6. oem: meta: Stabilise decode_oem_meta_file_io_write_req() API
7. oem: meta: Stabilise decode_oem_meta_file_io_read_req() API
8. oem: meta: Stabilise encode_oem_meta_file_io_read_resp() API

### Deprecated

1. Rename and deprecate functions with the `_check` suffix

   All library function return values always need to be checked. The `_check`
   suffix is redundant, so remove it. Migration to the non-deprecated
   equivalents without the `_check` suffix can be performed using
   `scripts/ apply-renames` and the [clang-rename][] configurations under
   `evolutions/`

   The deprecated functions:

   - `get_fru_record_by_option_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_append_pad_checksum_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_def_num_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_num_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_integer_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_decode_def_string_length_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_enum_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_integer_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_attr_value_entry_encode_string_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string_check()`
   - `pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode_check()`
   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_check()`
   - `pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_from_node_check()`
   - `pldm_pdr_add_check()`
   - `pldm_pdr_add_fru_record_set_check()`

[clang-rename]: https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-rename.html

2. `decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp()`

   Users should move to `decode_get_pdr_repository_info_resp_safe()` which
   eliminates the opportunity for buffer overruns when extracting objects from
   the message.

3. `decode_get_pdr_resp()`

   Users should move to `decode_get_pdr_resp_safe()` which reduces the
   invocation tedium and improves memory safety over `decode_get_pdr_resp()`.

### Removed

1. IBM OEM header compatibility symlinks.

   Anyone left using the deprecated paths can migrate using the coccinelle patch
   at `evolutions/current/oem-ibm-header-compat.cocci`.

### Fixed

1. requester: instance-id: Release read lock on conflict
2. pdr: Error propagation for
   pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_from_node_with_record_handle()

7. pdr: pldm_pdr_destroy(): Exit early if repo is NULL
8. pdr: Document preconditions for trivial accessor functions

   A trivial accessor function is one that exposes properties of an object in a
   way can't result in an error, beyond passing an invalid argument to the
   function. For APIs meeting this definition we define a precondition that
   struct pointers must point to valid objects to avoid polluting the function
   prototypes. The following APIs now have this precondition explicitly defined:

   - pldm_entity_extract()
   - pldm_entity_get_parent()
   - pldm_entity_is_exist_parent()
   - pldm_entity_is_node_parent()
   - pldm_is_current_parent_child
   - pldm_is_empty_entity_assoc_tree()
   - pldm_pdr_get_record_count()
   - pldm_pdr_get_record_handle()
   - pldm_pdr_get_repo_size()

17. pdr: pldm_entity_association_pdr_add(): Exit early on bad arguments
18. pdr: pldm_find_entity_ref_in_tree(): Exit early on bad arguments
19. pdr: pldm_entity_association_tree_find(): Early exit on bad arguments
20. pdr: pldm_entity_association_tree_destroy_root(): Exit early on bad arg
21. pdr: pldm_entity_association_pdr_extract(): Early exit on bad arguments
22. pdr: pldm_entity_association_pdr_extract(): Assign out params at exit

## [0.3.0] - 2023-06-23

### Added

1. Add encode/decode pldmMessagePollEvent data
2. README: Add a section on working with libpldm
3. pdr: Introduce remote_container_id and associated APIs
4. pdr: Add APIs for creating and locating remote PDRs
5. pdr: Add pldm_pdr_find_last_in_range()
6. pdr: Add pldm_entity_association_pdr_add_from_node_with_record_handle()
7. pdr: Add pldm_pdr_find_container_id_range_exclude()

### Changed

1. include: Move installed transport.h under libpldm/
2. libpldm: Explicit deprecated, stable and testing ABI classes
3. meson: Reduce strength of oem-ibm requirements from enabled to allowed

   The `oem-ibm` feature is now enabled by the default meson configuration, for
   CI purposes. `oem-ibm` is still disabled by default in the `libpldm` bitbake
   recipe:

   <https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-phosphor/recipes-phosphor/libpldm/libpldm_git.bb#L10>

   To disable `oem-ibm` in your development builds, pass `-Doem-ibm=disabled`
   when invoking `meson setup`

4. bios_table: Relax pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string_check()
5. bios_table: Relax pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls_check()

### Deprecated

1. bios_table: Deprecate APIs with arguments sanitized using assert()

   C provides enough foot-guns without us encoding them into library APIs.
   Specifically, deprecate the following in favour of their `*_check()` variants
   which ensure assertions won't fail or otherwise invoke UB:

   - pldm_bios_table_string_entry_encode()
   - pldm_bios_table_string_entry_decode_string()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_encode()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_num()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_def_num()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_enum_decode_pv_hdls()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_encode()
   - pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_decode_def_string_length()

### Removed

1. libpldm: Remove the requester-api option

### Fixed

1. requester: Make pldm_open() return existing fd
2. transport: Prevent sticking in waiting for response
3. transport: Match on response in pldm_transport_send_recv_msg()
4. requester: Add check before accessing hdr in pldm_recv()
5. bios_table: pldm_bios_table_attr_entry_string_info_check() NULL deref
