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	2.2
4	TODO: maybe simply use \0 and \1 as true/false when encoding (and overloaded/blessed versions thereof on	4	- lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
5	decoding?)	5	- make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
		6	the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
		7	- added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
		8	- implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
		9	from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
		10	- implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
		11	- fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
		12	- moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if its the first
		13	pod directive :/.
		14	- removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
		15	outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
6		16
		17	2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
		18	- update documentation here and there: add a large section
		19	about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
		20	and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
		21	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
		22	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
		23	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
		24	between YAML and JSON.
		25	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
		26	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
		27	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
		28	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
		29	original url changes so comparison is impossible.
		30
		31	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
		32	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
		33	renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
		34	The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
		35	comaptible versions in some later release.
		36
		37	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
		38	- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
		39	compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
		40	Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
		41	as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
		42	instead.
		43	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
		44	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
		45
		46	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
		47	- minor doc clarifications.
		48	- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
		49
		50	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
		51	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
		52	parsers :/.
		53
		54	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
		55	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
		56	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
		57	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
		58	the testsuite.
		59	- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
		60	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
		61
		62	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
		63	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
		64	Marcus Holland-Moritz.
		65	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
		66	accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
		67
		68	1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
		69	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
		70	the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
		71
		72	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
		73	- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
		74	only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
		75
		76	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
		77	- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
		78	(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
		79
		80	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
		81	- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
		82	affects convert_blessed only.
		83	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
		84	one time too often.
		85	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
		86	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
		87	C compilers (windows...).
		88
		89	1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
		90	- add convert_blessed setting.
		91	- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
		92	contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
		93	the allow_blessed setting.
		94	- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
		95	settings that specify a callback to be called when
		96	all/specific json objects are encountered.
		97	- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
		98	optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
		99	speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
		100	a smaller and faster perl hash.
		101	- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
		102	in decode_json.
		103	- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
		104	of JSON will not have them either.
		105	- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
		106	into a more complex one.
		107	- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
		108	is not an integer.
		109	- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
		110	and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
		111
		112	1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
		113	- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
		114	and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
		115	(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
		116	- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
		117	values.
		118	- add a reference to
		119	http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
		120	- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
		121	Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
		122	which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
		123
		124	1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
		125	- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
		126	- get rid of some c99-isms again.
		127	- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
		128	string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
		129	- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
		130	usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
		131	when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
		132
		133	1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
		134	- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
		135	- implement a number of µ-optimisations.
		136	- updated benchmarks.
		137
		138	1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
		139	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
		140	the required macros.
		141	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
		142
		143	1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
		144	- character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
		145
		146	1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
		147	- decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
		148	- added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
		149	of unicode.
		150	- flag trailing garbage as error.
		151	- new decode_prefix method that returns the number
		152	of characters consumed by a decode.
		153	- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
		154	as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
		155	- fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
		156
		157	1.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
		158	- properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
		159	C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
		160	- partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
		161	pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
		162	on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
		163	support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
		164
		165	1.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
		166	- clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
		167	- decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
		168	leading to segfaults.
		169	- further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
		170	failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
		171	to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
		172	that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
		173	module.
		174	- renamed json => JSON in error messages.
		175	- corrected the character offset in some error messages.
		176
		177	1.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
		178	- do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
		179	a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
		180	This has no effect on normal operation.
		181
		182	1.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
		183	- the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
		184	- add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
		185	true and false.
		186	- add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
		187	- improve testsuite.
		188	- halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
		189	work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
		190	send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
		191
		192	0.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
		193	- fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
		194	- export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
		195	to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
		196	between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
		197	- implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
		198	- added a security considerations sections.
