1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS 1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2 2
3TODO: maybe use some overload magic to decode true and false into something 3 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
4 not 0 or 1 in perl. or use attached magic? 4 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
5 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
6 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
7 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
8 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if its the first
9 pod directive :/.
10 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
11 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
12
132.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
14 - update documentation here and there: add a large section
15 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
16 and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
17 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
18 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
19 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
20 between YAML and JSON.
21 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
22 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
23 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
24 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
25 original url changes so comparison is impossible.
26
272.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
28 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
29 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
30 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
31 comaptible versions in some later release.
32
332.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
34 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
35 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
36 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
37 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
38 instead.
39 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
40 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
41
421.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
43 - minor doc clarifications.
44 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
45
461.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
47 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
48 parsers :/.
49
501.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
51 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
52 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
53 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
54 the testsuite.
55 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
56 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
57
581.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
59 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
60 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
61 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
62 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
63
641.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
65 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
66 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
67
681.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
69 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
70 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
71
721.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
73 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
74 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
75
761.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
77 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
78 affects convert_blessed only.
79 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
80 one time too often.
81 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
82 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
83 C compilers (windows...).
84
851.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
86 - add convert_blessed setting.
87 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
88 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
89 the allow_blessed setting.
90 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
91 settings that specify a callback to be called when
92 all/specific json objects are encountered.
93 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
94 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
95 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
96 a smaller and faster perl hash.
97 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
98 in decode_json.
99 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
100 of JSON will not have them either.
101 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
102 into a more complex one.
103 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
104 is not an integer.
105 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
106 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
107
1081.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
109 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
110 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
111 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
112 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
113 values.
114 - add a reference to
115 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
116 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
117 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
118 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
119
1201.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
121 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
122 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
123 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
124 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
125 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
126 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
127 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
128
1291.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
130 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
131 - implement a number of ยต-optimisations.
132 - updated benchmarks.
133
1341.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
135 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
136 the required macros.
137 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
138
1391.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
140 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
141
1421.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
143 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
144 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
145 of unicode.
146 - flag trailing garbage as error.
147 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
148 of characters consumed by a decode.
149 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
150 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
151 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
152
1531.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
154 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
155 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
156 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
157 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
158 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
159 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
160
1611.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
162 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
163 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
164 leading to segfaults.
165 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
166 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
167 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
168 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
169 module.
170 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
171 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
172
1731.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
174 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
175 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
176 This has no effect on normal operation.
5 177
61.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007 1781.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
7 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version. 179 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
8 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON 180 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
9 true and false. 181 true and false.
10 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros. 182 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
11 - improve testsuite. 183 - improve testsuite.
12 - half the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it 184 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
13 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not 185 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
14 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd). 186 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).

160.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007 1880.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
17 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes. 189 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
