3TODO: allow a configurable recursion limit and/or or other forms of resource limiting (string size, memory usage...) 32.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
4TODO: maybe simply use \0 and \1 as true/false when encoding (and overloaded/blessed versions thereof on 4 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
5 decoding?) 5 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.

72.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
8 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
9 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
10 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
11 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
12
132.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
14 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
15 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
16 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
17 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
18 - add ->incr_reset method.
19
202.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
21 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
22 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
23 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
24 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
25 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
26 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
27 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
28 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
29 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
30 pod directive :/.
31 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
32 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
33
342.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
35 - update documentation here and there: add a large section
36 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
37 and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
38 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
39 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
40 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
41 between YAML and JSON.
42 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
43 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
44 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
45 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
46 original url changes so comparison is impossible.
47
482.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
49 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
50 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
51 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
52 comaptible versions in some later release.
53
542.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
55 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
56 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
57 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
58 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
59 instead.
60 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
61 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
62
631.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
64 - minor doc clarifications.
65 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
66
671.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
68 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
69 parsers :/.
70
711.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
72 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
73 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
74 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
75 the testsuite.
76 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
77 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
78
791.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
80 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
81 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
82 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
83 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
84
851.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
86 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
87 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
88
891.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
90 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
91 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
92
931.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
94 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
95 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
96
971.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
98 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
99 affects convert_blessed only.
100 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
101 one time too often.
102 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
103 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
104 C compilers (windows...).
105
1061.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
107 - add convert_blessed setting.
108 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
109 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
110 the allow_blessed setting.
111 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
112 settings that specify a callback to be called when
113 all/specific json objects are encountered.
114 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
115 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
116 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
117 a smaller and faster perl hash.
118 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
119 in decode_json.
120 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
121 of JSON will not have them either.
122 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
123 into a more complex one.
124 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
125 is not an integer.
126 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
127 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
128
1291.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
130 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
131 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
132 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
133 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
134 values.
135 - add a reference to
136 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
137 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
138 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
139 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
140
1411.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
142 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
143 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
144 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
145 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
146 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
147 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
148 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
149
1501.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
151 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
152 - implement a number of ยต-optimisations.
153 - updated benchmarks.
154
1551.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
156 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
157 the required macros.
158 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
159
1601.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
161 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
162
1631.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
164 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
165 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
166 of unicode.
167 - flag trailing garbage as error.
168 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
169 of characters consumed by a decode.
170 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
171 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
172 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
173
1741.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
175 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
176 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
177 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
178 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
179 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
180 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
181
1821.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
183 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
184 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
185 leading to segfaults.
186 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
187 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
188 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
189 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
190 module.
191 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
192 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
193
1941.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
195 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
196 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
197 This has no effect on normal operation.
198
1991.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
200 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
201 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
202 true and false.
203 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
204 - improve testsuite.
205 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
206 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
207 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
208
2090.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
210 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
211 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
212 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
213 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
214 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
215 - added a security considerations sections.
