Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS

TODO: maybe detetc and croak on more invalid inputs (e.g. +-inf/nan)

2.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
        - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
          (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
          connection without triggering the max_size limit).
        - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
          (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
          and analyzed by Goro Fuji).

2.3   Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
        - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
          parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
        - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
        - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
        - added -f eval support to json_xs.

2.29  Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
        - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
          or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
          by Eric Wilhelm).

2.28  Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
        - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
          magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
          side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
          (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
        - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
        - update jpsykes csrf article url.
        - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!

2.27  Thu Jan  7 07:35:08 CET 2010
        - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
          (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).

2.26  Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
        - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
          by Strobl Anton).
        - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
          more expected and more true to the documentation.

2.25  Sat Aug  8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
        - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
          around the issue.
        - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
        - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
        - require common sense.

2.24  Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
        - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
          pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
          debugged by Martin Evans).
        - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
          in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
        - wording of parse error messages has been improved.

2.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
        - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
          help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
          allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
          wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
          (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).

2.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
        - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
          incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
          various people).
        - add t/20_faihu.t.

2.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
        - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
          (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
          ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
          reported by Dmitry Karasik.
        - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.

2.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
        - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
          char *.
        - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.

2.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
        - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
          failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
          Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
          needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.

2.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
        - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
          just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.

2.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
        - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
        - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
          (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
        - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).

2.21 Tue Jun  3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
        - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
        - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
        - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
          when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
        - add ->incr_reset method.

2.2  Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
        - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
        - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
          the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
        - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
        - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
          from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
        - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
        - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
        - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
          pod directive :/.
        - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
          outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.

2.1  Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
        - update documentation here and there: add a large section
          about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
          and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
        - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
        - minor speedup in number encoding case.
        - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
          between YAML and JSON.
        - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
        - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
        - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
        - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
          original url changes so comparison is impossible.

2.01 Wed Dec  5 11:40:28 CET 2007
        - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
          renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
          The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
          comaptible versions in some later release.

2.0  Tue Dec  4 11:30:46 CET 2007
        - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
          compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
          Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
          as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
          instead.
        - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
        - make JSON::XS subclassable.

1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
        - minor doc clarifications.
        - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).

1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
        - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
          parsers :/.

1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
        - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
        - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
          JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
          the testsuite.
        - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
        - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.

1.5  Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
        - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
          Marcus Holland-Moritz.
        - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
          accepted. generation is still JSON-only.

1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
        - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
          the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.

1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
        - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
          only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.

1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
        - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
          (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).

1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
        - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
          affects convert_blessed only.
        - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
          one time too often.
        - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
        - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
          C compilers (windows...).

1.4  Mon Jul  2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
        - add convert_blessed setting.
        - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
          contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
          the allow_blessed setting.
        - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
          settings that specify a callback to be called when
          all/specific json objects are encountered.
        - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
          optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
          speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
          a smaller and faster perl hash.
        - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
          in decode_json.
        - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
          of JSON will not have them either.
        - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
          into a more complex one.
        - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
          is not an integer.
        - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
          and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.

1.3  Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
        - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
          and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
          (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
        - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
          values.
        - add a reference to
          http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
        - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
          Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
          which are not recommended (because they are buggy).

1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
        - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
        - get rid of some c99-isms again.
        - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
          string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
        - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
          usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
          when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.

1.23 Wed Jun  6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
        - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
        - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
        - updated benchmarks.

1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
        - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
          the required macros.
        - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.

1.21 Wed May  9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
        - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.

1.2  Wed May  9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
        - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
        - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
          of unicode.
        - flag trailing garbage as error.
        - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
          of characters consumed by a decode.
        - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
          as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
        - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.

1.11 Mon Apr  9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
        - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
          C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
        - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
          pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
          on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
          support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.

1.1  Wed Apr  4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
        - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
        - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
          leading to segfaults.
        - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
          failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
          to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
          that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
          module.
        - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
        - corrected the character offset in some error messages.

1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
        - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
          a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
          This has no effect on normal operation.

1.0  Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
        - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
        - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
          true and false.
        - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
        - improve testsuite.
        - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
          work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
          send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).

0.8  Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
        - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
        - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
          to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
          between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
        - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
        - added a security considerations sections.

0.7  Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
        - code cleanup.
        - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
        - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
        - improve decoding speed of strings by
          up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
        - further decoding speedups for strings using
          lots of \u escapes.
        - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.

0.5  Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
        - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
          versions.
        - minor documentation fixes.
        - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
          (reported by Craig Manley).
        - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
          by Andreas König).

0.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
        - documentation updates.
        - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
        - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.

0.3  Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
        - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
        - adapted lots of tests from other json modules
          (idea by Chris Carline).
        - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
        - improved the documentation by adding more examples.
        - added short escaping forms, reducing the created
          json texts a bit.
        - added shrink flag.
        - when flag methods are called without enable argument
          they will by default enable their flag.
        - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
          with gcc 4).
        - added a test that covers lots of different characters.
        - clarified some error messages.
        - error messages now use correct character offset
          with F_UTF8.
        - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
          case the called functions do... stuff.
        - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
          (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.

0.2  Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007
        - the "could not sleep without debugging release".
          it should basically work now, with many bugs as
          no production tests have been run yet.
        - added more testcases.
        - the expected shitload of bugfixes.
        - handle utf8 flag correctly in decode.
        - fix segfault in decoder.
        - utf8n_to_uvuni sets retlen to -1, but retlen is an
          unsigned types (argh).
        - fix decoding of utf-8 strings.
        - improved error diagnostics.
        - fix decoding of 'null'.
        - fix parsing of empty array/hashes
        - silence warnings when we prepare the croak message.

0.1   Thu Mar 22 22:13:43 CET 2007
        - first release, very untested, basically just to claim
          the namespace.
 
0.01  Thu Mar 22 06:08:12 CET 2007
        - original version; cloned from Convert-Scalar

52			- the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
53			pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
54			debugged by Martin Evans).
55			- appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
56			in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
57			- wording of parse error messages has been improved.

60	root	1.125	- use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
61	root	1.126	help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
62			allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
63	root	1.125	wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
64			(nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
65
66	root	1.124	2.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
67	root	1.123	- add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
68			incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
69			various people).
70	root	1.122	- add t/20_faihu.t.
71
72	root	1.121	2.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
73			- work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
74			(such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
75			ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
76			reported by Dmitry Karasik.
77	root	1.125	- work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
78	root	1.121
79	root	1.120	2.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
80			- fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
81			char *.
82	root	1.119	- use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
83
84	root	1.118	2.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
85			- same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
86			failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
87			Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
88			needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
89
90	root	1.117	2.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
91			- you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
92			just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
93
94	root	1.116	2.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
95	root	1.115	- allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
96			- error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
97			(as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
98			- improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
99
100	root	1.114	2.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
101			- (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
102	root	1.112	- remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
103	root	1.111	- move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
104			when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
105	root	1.113	- add ->incr_reset method.
106	root	1.111
107	root	1.110	2.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
108	root	1.109	- lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
109	root	1.107	- make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
110			the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
111	root	1.105	- added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
112	root	1.103	- implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
113			from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
114	root	1.108	- implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
115	root	1.109	- fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
116	root	1.112	- moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
117	root	1.102	pod directive :/.
118	root	1.106	- removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
119			outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
120	root	1.102
121	root	1.101	2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
122			- update documentation here and there: add a large section
123			about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
124			and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
125	root	1.98	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
126	root	1.100	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
127	root	1.92	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
128			between YAML and JSON.
129	root	1.95	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
130	root	1.94	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
131	root	1.100	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
132	root	1.99	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
133			original url changes so comparison is impossible.
134	root	1.92
135	root	1.91	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
136			- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
137			renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
138			The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
139			comaptible versions in some later release.
140
141	root	1.90	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
142			- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
143			compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
144			Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
145			as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
146			instead.
147	root	1.88	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
148	root	1.89	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
149	root	1.88
150	root	1.86	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
151	root	1.85	- minor doc clarifications.
152			- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
153
154	root	1.84	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
155	root	1.83	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
156			parsers :/.
157
158	root	1.82	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
159	root	1.81	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
160	root	1.87	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
161	root	1.80	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
162			the testsuite.
163			- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
164	root	1.79	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
165	root	1.78
166	root	1.77	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
167	root	1.74	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
168			Marcus Holland-Moritz.
169	root	1.75	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
170			accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
171	root	1.74
172			1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
173	root	1.73	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
174			the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
175
176	root	1.72	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
177			- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
178			only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
179
180	root	1.71	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
181			- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
182			(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
183
184	root	1.70	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
185			- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
186			affects convert_blessed only.
187	root	1.69	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
188			one time too often.
189	root	1.70	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
190	root	1.69	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
191			C compilers (windows...).
192
193	root	1.68	1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
194	root	1.63	- add convert_blessed setting.
195	root	1.56	- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
196			contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
197			the allow_blessed setting.
198	root	1.65	- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
199			settings that specify a callback to be called when
200	root	1.67	all/specific json objects are encountered.
201	root	1.59	- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
202			optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
203			speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
204			a smaller and faster perl hash.
205	root	1.58	- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
206			in decode_json.
207	root	1.61	- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
208			of JSON will not have them either.
209	root	1.62	- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
210			into a more complex one.
211	root	1.64	- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
212			is not an integer.
213	root	1.65	- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
214			and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
215	root	1.56
216	root	1.55	1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
217	root	1.54	- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
218			and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
219			(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
220			- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
221			values.
222	root	1.52	- add a reference to
223			http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
224	root	1.60	- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
225			Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
226	root	1.54	which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
227	root	1.52
228	root	1.51	1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
229	root	1.49	- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
230	root	1.51	- get rid of some c99-isms again.
231	root	1.50	- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
232			string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
233			- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
234			usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
235	root	1.51	when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
236	root	1.49
237	root	1.47	1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
238	root	1.46	- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
239			- implement a number of µ-optimisations.
240	root	1.47	- updated benchmarks.
241	root	1.46
242	root	1.45	1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
243	root	1.42	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
244			the required macros.
245	root	1.43	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
246	root	1.42
247	root	1.41	1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
248	root	1.47	- character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
249	root	1.41
250	root	1.40	1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
251			- decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
252	root	1.38	- added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
253			of unicode.
254	root	1.39	- flag trailing garbage as error.
255			- new decode_prefix method that returns the number
256			of characters consumed by a decode.
257	root	1.40	- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
258			as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
259			- fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
260	root	1.34
261	root	1.32	1.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
262			- properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
263			C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
264	root	1.31	- partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
265			pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
266			on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
267	root	1.32	support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
268	root	1.6
269	root	1.30	1.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
270	root	1.28	- clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
271	root	1.29	- decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
272			leading to segfaults.
273	root	1.30	- further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
274			failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
275			to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
276			that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
277			module.
278			- renamed json => JSON in error messages.
279			- corrected the character offset in some error messages.
280	root	1.28
281	root	1.27	1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
282			- do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
283			a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
284			This has no effect on normal operation.
285
286	root	1.25	1.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
287			- the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
288			- add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
289			true and false.
290	root	1.24	- add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
291	root	1.25	- improve testsuite.
292	root	1.26	- halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
293	root	1.25	work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
294			send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
295	root	1.24
296	root	1.23	0.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
297	root	1.21	- fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
298	root	1.20	- export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
299			to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
300			between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
301	root	1.21	- implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
302			- added a security considerations sections.
303	root	1.20
304	root	1.19	0.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
305	root	1.16	- code cleanup.
306			- fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
307			- pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
308			- improve decoding speed of strings by
309			up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
310			- further decoding speedups for strings using
311			lots of \u escapes.
312	root	1.17	- improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
313	root	1.16
314	root	1.15	0.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
315	root	1.14	- added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
316			versions.
317			- minor documentation fixes.
318	root	1.15	- fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
319			(reported by Craig Manley).
320			- remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
321			by Andreas König).
322	root	1.14
323	root	1.13	0.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
324	root	1.12	- documentation updates.
325	root	1.13	- do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
326			- nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
327	root	1.12
328	root	1.11	0.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
329	root	1.5	- remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
330			- adapted lots of tests from other json modules
331			(idea by Chris Carline).
332	root	1.9	- documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
333	root	1.11	- improved the documentation by adding more examples.
334	root	1.5	- added short escaping forms, reducing the created
335			json texts a bit.
336			- added shrink flag.
337			- when flag methods are called without enable argument
338			they will by default enable their flag.
339			- considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
340			with gcc 4).
341	root	1.7	- added a test that covers lots of different characters.
342			- clarified some error messages.
343			- error messages now use correct character offset
344			with F_UTF8.
345	root	1.8	- improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
346			case the called functions do... stuff.
347	root	1.9	- croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
348			(non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
349	root	1.4
350	root	1.3	0.2 Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007
351	root	1.109	- the "could not sleep without debugging release".
352	root	1.3	it should basically work now, with many bugs as
353			no production tests have been run yet.
354			- added more testcases.
355			- the expected shitload of bugfixes.
356			- handle utf8 flag correctly in decode.
357			- fix segfault in decoder.
358			- utf8n_to_uvuni sets retlen to -1, but retlen is an
359			unsigned types (argh).
360			- fix decoding of utf-8 strings.
361			- improved error diagnostics.
362			- fix decoding of 'null'.
363			- fix parsing of empty array/hashes
364			- silence warnings when we prepare the croak message.
365
366	root	1.2	0.1 Thu Mar 22 22:13:43 CET 2007
367			- first release, very untested, basically just to claim
368			the namespace.
369	root	1.1
370			0.01 Thu Mar 22 06:08:12 CET 2007
