1	Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS	1	Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2		2
3	TODO: allow a configurable recursion limit and/or or other forms of resource limiting (string size, memory usage...)	3	- update documentation here and there, add a large section
4	TODO: maybe simply use \0 and \1 as true/false when encoding (and overloaded/blessed versions thereof on	4	about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration.
5	decoding?)	5	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
		6	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
		7	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
		8	between YAML and JSON.
		9	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
		10	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
		11	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
		12	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
		13	original url changes so comparison is impossible.
6		14
		15	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
		16	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
		17	renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
		18	The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
		19	comaptible versions in some later release.
		20
		21	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
		22	- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
		23	compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
		24	Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
		25	as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
		26	instead.
		27	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
		28	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
		29
		30	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
		31	- minor doc clarifications.
		32	- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
		33
		34	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
		35	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
		36	parsers :/.
		37
		38	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
		39	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
		40	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
		41	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
		42	the testsuite.
		43	- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
		44	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
		45
		46	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
		47	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
		48	Marcus Holland-Moritz.
		49	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
		50	accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
		51
		52	1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
		53	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
		54	the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
		55
		56	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
		57	- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
		58	only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
		59
		60	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
		61	- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
		62	(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
		63
		64	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
		65	- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
		66	affects convert_blessed only.
		67	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
		68	one time too often.
		69	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
		70	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
		71	C compilers (windows...).
		72
		73	1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
		74	- add convert_blessed setting.
		75	- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
		76	contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
		77	the allow_blessed setting.
		78	- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
		79	settings that specify a callback to be called when
		80	all/specific json objects are encountered.
		81	- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
		82	optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
		83	speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
		84	a smaller and faster perl hash.
		85	- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
		86	in decode_json.
		87	- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
		88	of JSON will not have them either.
		89	- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
		90	into a more complex one.
		91	- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
		92	is not an integer.
		93	- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
		94	and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
		95
		96	1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
		97	- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
		98	and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
		99	(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
		100	- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
		101	values.
		102	- add a reference to
		103	http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
		104	- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
		105	Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
		106	which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
		107
		108	1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
		109	- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
		110	- get rid of some c99-isms again.
		111	- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
		112	string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
		113	- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
		114	usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
		115	when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
		116
		117	1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
		118	- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
		119	- implement a number of µ-optimisations.
		120	- updated benchmarks.
		121
		122	1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
		123	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
		124	the required macros.
		125	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
		126
		127	1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
		128	- character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
		129
		130	1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
		131	- decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
		132	- added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
		133	of unicode.
		134	- flag trailing garbage as error.
		135	- new decode_prefix method that returns the number
		136	of characters consumed by a decode.
		137	- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
		138	as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
		139	- fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
		140
		141	1.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
		142	- properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
		143	C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
		144	- partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
		145	pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
		146	on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
		147	support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
		148
		149	1.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
		150	- clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
		151	- decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
		152	leading to segfaults.
		153	- further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
		154	failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
		155	to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
		156	that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
		157	module.
		158	- renamed json => JSON in error messages.
		159	- corrected the character offset in some error messages.
		160
		161	1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
		162	- do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
		163	a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
		164	This has no effect on normal operation.
		165
		166	1.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
		167	- the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
		168	- add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
		169	true and false.
		170	- add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
		171	- improve testsuite.
		172	- halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
		173	work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
		174	send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
		175
		176	0.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
		177	- fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
		178	- export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
		179	to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
		180	between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
		181	- implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
		182	- added a security considerations sections.
