Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS |
2 |
|
3 |
- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities |
4 |
between YAML and JSON. |
5 |
- update documentation here and there. |
6 |
|
7 |
2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007 |
8 |
- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been |
9 |
renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility. |
10 |
The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm |
11 |
comaptible versions in some later release. |
12 |
|
13 |
2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007 |
14 |
- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS |
15 |
compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module. |
16 |
Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be |
17 |
as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it |
18 |
instead. |
19 |
- added get_* methods for all "simple" options. |
20 |
- make JSON::XS subclassable. |
21 |
|
22 |
1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007 |
23 |
- minor doc clarifications. |
24 |
- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick). |
25 |
|
26 |
1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007 |
27 |
- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod |
28 |
parsers :/. |
29 |
|
30 |
1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007 |
31 |
- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled. |
32 |
- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the |
33 |
JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to |
34 |
the testsuite. |
35 |
- quite a bit of doc updates/extension. |
36 |
- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version. |
37 |
|
38 |
1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007 |
39 |
- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by |
40 |
Marcus Holland-Moritz. |
41 |
- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being |
42 |
accepted. generation is still JSON-only. |
43 |
|
44 |
1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007 |
45 |
- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down. |
46 |
the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV. |
47 |
|
48 |
1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007 |
49 |
- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV |
50 |
only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string. |
51 |
|
52 |
1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007 |
53 |
- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements |
54 |
(report and testcase by Jay Kuri). |
55 |
|
56 |
1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007 |
57 |
- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect), |
58 |
affects convert_blessed only. |
59 |
- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS; |
60 |
one time too often. |
61 |
- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods. |
62 |
- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated |
63 |
C compilers (windows...). |
64 |
|
65 |
1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007 |
66 |
- add convert_blessed setting. |
67 |
- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their |
68 |
contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing |
69 |
the allow_blessed setting. |
70 |
- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object |
71 |
settings that specify a callback to be called when |
72 |
all/specific json objects are encountered. |
73 |
- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and |
74 |
optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can |
75 |
speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives |
76 |
a smaller and faster perl hash. |
77 |
- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking |
78 |
in decode_json. |
79 |
- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version |
80 |
of JSON will not have them either. |
81 |
- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object |
82 |
into a more complex one. |
83 |
- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer |
84 |
is not an integer. |
85 |
- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable |
86 |
and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing. |
87 |
|
88 |
1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007 |
89 |
- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects |
90 |
and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms |
91 |
(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet). |
92 |
- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special |
93 |
values. |
94 |
- add a reference to |
95 |
http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security. |
96 |
- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly. |
97 |
Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions, |
98 |
which are not recommended (because they are buggy). |
99 |
|
100 |
1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007 |
101 |
- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML. |
102 |
- get rid of some c99-isms again. |
103 |
- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up |
104 |
string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc). |
105 |
- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is |
106 |
usually plenty, and this actually saves memory |
107 |
when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly. |
108 |
|
109 |
1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007 |
110 |
- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed. |
111 |
- implement a number of µ-optimisations. |
112 |
- updated benchmarks. |
113 |
|
114 |
1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007 |
115 |
- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer |
116 |
the required macros. |
117 |
- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft. |
118 |
|
119 |
1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007 |
120 |
- character offset reported for trailing garbage was random. |
121 |
|
122 |
1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007 |
123 |
- decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!). |
124 |
- added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset |
125 |
of unicode. |
126 |
- flag trailing garbage as error. |
127 |
- new decode_prefix method that returns the number |
128 |
of characters consumed by a decode. |
129 |
- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11, |
130 |
as pointed out by Glenn Linderman. |
131 |
- fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio. |
132 |
|
133 |
1.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007 |
134 |
- properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help |
135 |
C libraries that expect that 0 to be there. |
136 |
- partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken |
137 |
pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing |
138 |
on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to |
139 |
support this filthy excuse for a c compiler. |
140 |
|
141 |
1.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007 |
142 |
- clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver). |
143 |
- decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors, |
144 |
leading to segfaults. |
145 |
- further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test |
146 |
failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems |
147 |
to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate |
148 |
that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this |
149 |
module. |
150 |
- renamed json => JSON in error messages. |
151 |
- corrected the character offset in some error messages. |
152 |
|
153 |
1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007 |
154 |
- do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed |
155 |
a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz). |
156 |
This has no effect on normal operation. |
157 |
|
158 |
1.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007 |
159 |
- the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version. |
160 |
- add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON |
161 |
true and false. |
162 |
- add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros. |
163 |
- improve testsuite. |
164 |
- halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it |
165 |
work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not |
166 |
send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd). |
167 |
|
168 |
0.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007 |
169 |
- fix a memleak when decoding hashes. |
170 |
- export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases |
171 |
to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities |
172 |
between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental). |
173 |
- implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding. |
174 |
- added a security considerations sections. |
175 |
|
176 |
0.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007 |
177 |
- code cleanup. |
178 |
- fix a memory overflow bug when indenting. |
179 |
- pretty-printing now up to 15% faster. |
180 |
- improve decoding speed of strings by |
181 |
up to 50% by specialcasing short strings. |
182 |
- further decoding speedups for strings using |
183 |
lots of \u escapes. |
184 |
- improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF. |
185 |
|
186 |
0.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007 |
187 |
- added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous |
188 |
versions. |
189 |
- minor documentation fixes. |
190 |
- fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath |
191 |
(reported by Craig Manley). |
192 |
- remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported |
193 |
by Andreas König). |
194 |
|
195 |
0.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007 |
196 |
- documentation updates. |
197 |
- do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem. |
198 |
- nuke bogus json rpc stuff. |
199 |
|
200 |
0.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007 |
201 |
- remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara). |
202 |
- adapted lots of tests from other json modules |
203 |
(idea by Chris Carline). |
204 |
- documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa. |
205 |
- improved the documentation by adding more examples. |
206 |
- added short escaping forms, reducing the created |
207 |
json texts a bit. |
208 |
- added shrink flag. |
209 |
- when flag methods are called without enable argument |
210 |
they will by default enable their flag. |
211 |
- considerably improved string encoding speed (at least |
212 |
with gcc 4). |
213 |
- added a test that covers lots of different characters. |
214 |
- clarified some error messages. |
215 |
- error messages now use correct character offset |
216 |
with F_UTF8. |
217 |
- improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in |
218 |
case the called functions do... stuff. |
219 |
- croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range |
220 |
(non-unicode) codepoint is encountered. |
221 |
|
222 |
0.2 Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007 |
223 |
- the "could not sleep without debuggign release". |
224 |
it should basically work now, with many bugs as |
225 |
no production tests have been run yet. |
226 |
- added more testcases. |
227 |
- the expected shitload of bugfixes. |
228 |
- handle utf8 flag correctly in decode. |
229 |
- fix segfault in decoder. |
230 |
- utf8n_to_uvuni sets retlen to -1, but retlen is an |
231 |
unsigned types (argh). |
232 |
- fix decoding of utf-8 strings. |
233 |
- improved error diagnostics. |
234 |
- fix decoding of 'null'. |
235 |
- fix parsing of empty array/hashes |
236 |
- silence warnings when we prepare the croak message. |
237 |
|
238 |
0.1 Thu Mar 22 22:13:43 CET 2007 |
239 |
- first release, very untested, basically just to claim |
240 |
the namespace. |
241 |
|
242 |
0.01 Thu Mar 22 06:08:12 CET 2007 |
243 |
- original version; cloned from Convert-Scalar |
244 |
|
