1 root 1.1 Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2 root 1.2
3 root 1.118 2.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
4     - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
5     failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
6     Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
7     needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
8    
9 root 1.117 2.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
10     - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
11     just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
12    
13 root 1.116 2.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
14 root 1.115 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
15     - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
16     (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
17     - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
18    
19 root 1.114 2.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
20     - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
21 root 1.112 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
22 root 1.111 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
23     when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
24 root 1.113 - add ->incr_reset method.
25 root 1.111
26 root 1.110 2.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
27 root 1.109 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
28 root 1.107 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
29     the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
30 root 1.105 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
31 root 1.103 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
32     from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
33 root 1.108 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
34 root 1.109 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
35 root 1.112 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
36 root 1.102 pod directive :/.
37 root 1.106 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
38     outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
39 root 1.102
40 root 1.101 2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
41     - update documentation here and there: add a large section
42     about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
43     and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
44 root 1.98 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
45 root 1.100 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
46 root 1.92 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
47     between YAML and JSON.
48 root 1.95 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
49 root 1.94 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
50 root 1.100 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
51 root 1.99 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
52     original url changes so comparison is impossible.
53 root 1.92
54 root 1.91 2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
55     - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
56     renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
57     The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
58     comaptible versions in some later release.
59    
60 root 1.90 2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
61     - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
62     compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
63     Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
64     as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
65     instead.
66 root 1.88 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
67 root 1.89 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
68 root 1.88
69 root 1.86 1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
70 root 1.85 - minor doc clarifications.
71     - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
72    
73 root 1.84 1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
74 root 1.83 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
75     parsers :/.
76    
77 root 1.82 1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
78 root 1.81 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
79 root 1.87 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
80 root 1.80 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
81     the testsuite.
82     - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
83 root 1.79 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
84 root 1.78
85 root 1.77 1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
86 root 1.74 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
87     Marcus Holland-Moritz.
88 root 1.75 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
89     accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
90 root 1.74
91     1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
92 root 1.73 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
93     the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
94    
95 root 1.72 1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
96     - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
97     only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
98    
99 root 1.71 1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
100     - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
101     (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
102    
103 root 1.70 1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
104     - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
105     affects convert_blessed only.
106 root 1.69 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
107     one time too often.
108 root 1.70 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
109 root 1.69 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
110     C compilers (windows...).
111    
112 root 1.68 1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
113 root 1.63 - add convert_blessed setting.
114 root 1.56 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
115     contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
116     the allow_blessed setting.
117 root 1.65 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
118     settings that specify a callback to be called when
119 root 1.67 all/specific json objects are encountered.
120 root 1.59 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
121     optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
122     speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
123     a smaller and faster perl hash.
124 root 1.58 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
125     in decode_json.
126 root 1.61 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
127     of JSON will not have them either.
128 root 1.62 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
129     into a more complex one.
130 root 1.64 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
131     is not an integer.
132 root 1.65 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
133     and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
134 root 1.56
135 root 1.55 1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
136 root 1.54 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
137     and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
138     (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
139     - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
140     values.
141 root 1.52 - add a reference to
142     http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
143 root 1.60 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
144     Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
145 root 1.54 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
146 root 1.52
147 root 1.51 1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
148 root 1.49 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
149 root 1.51 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
150 root 1.50 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
151     string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
152     - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
153     usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
154 root 1.51 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
155 root 1.49
156 root 1.47 1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
157 root 1.46 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
158     - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
159 root 1.47 - updated benchmarks.
160 root 1.46
161 root 1.45 1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
162 root 1.42 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
163     the required macros.
164 root 1.43 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
165 root 1.42
166 root 1.41 1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
167 root 1.47 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
168 root 1.41
169 root 1.40 1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
170     - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
171 root 1.38 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
172     of unicode.
173 root 1.39 - flag trailing garbage as error.
174     - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
175     of characters consumed by a decode.
176 root 1.40 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
177     as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
178     - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
179 root 1.34
180 root 1.32 1.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
181     - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
182     C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
183 root 1.31 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
184     pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
185     on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
186 root 1.32 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
187 root 1.6
188 root 1.30 1.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
189 root 1.28 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
190 root 1.29 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
191     leading to segfaults.
192 root 1.30 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
193     failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
194     to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
195     that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
196     module.
197     - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
198     - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
199 root 1.28
200 root 1.27 1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
201     - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
202     a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
203     This has no effect on normal operation.
204    
205 root 1.25 1.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
206     - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
207     - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
208     true and false.
209 root 1.24 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
210 root 1.25 - improve testsuite.
211 root 1.26 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
212 root 1.25 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
213     send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
214 root 1.24
215 root 1.23 0.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
216 root 1.21 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
217 root 1.20 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
218     to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
219     between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
220 root 1.21 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
221     - added a security considerations sections.
222 root 1.20
223 root 1.19 0.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
224 root 1.16 - code cleanup.
225     - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
226     - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
227     - improve decoding speed of strings by
228     up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
229     - further decoding speedups for strings using
230     lots of \u escapes.
231 root 1.17 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
232 root 1.16
233 root 1.15 0.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
234 root 1.14 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
235     versions.
236     - minor documentation fixes.
237 root 1.15 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
238     (reported by Craig Manley).
239     - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
240     by Andreas König).
241 root 1.14
242 root 1.13 0.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
243 root 1.12 - documentation updates.
244 root 1.13 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
245     - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
246 root 1.12
247 root 1.11 0.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
248 root 1.5 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
249     - adapted lots of tests from other json modules
250     (idea by Chris Carline).
251 root 1.9 - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
252 root 1.11 - improved the documentation by adding more examples.
253 root 1.5 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created
254     json texts a bit.
255     - added shrink flag.
256     - when flag methods are called without enable argument
257     they will by default enable their flag.
258     - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
259     with gcc 4).
260 root 1.7 - added a test that covers lots of different characters.
261     - clarified some error messages.
262     - error messages now use correct character offset
263     with F_UTF8.
264 root 1.8 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
265     case the called functions do... stuff.
266 root 1.9 - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
267     (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
268 root 1.4
269 root 1.3 0.2 Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007
270 root 1.109 - the "could not sleep without debugging release".
271 root 1.3 it should basically work now, with many bugs as
272     no production tests have been run yet.
273     - added more testcases.
274     - the expected shitload of bugfixes.
275     - handle utf8 flag correctly in decode.
276     - fix segfault in decoder.
277     - utf8n_to_uvuni sets retlen to -1, but retlen is an
278     unsigned types (argh).
279     - fix decoding of utf-8 strings.
280     - improved error diagnostics.
281     - fix decoding of 'null'.
282     - fix parsing of empty array/hashes
283     - silence warnings when we prepare the croak message.
284    
285 root 1.2 0.1 Thu Mar 22 22:13:43 CET 2007
286     - first release, very untested, basically just to claim
287     the namespace.
288 root 1.1
289     0.01 Thu Mar 22 06:08:12 CET 2007
290     - original version; cloned from Convert-Scalar
291
