123.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
13 - change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
14 really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
15 (reported by Matthew Horsfall).
16 - string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
17 (testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
18 - be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
19 which might (or might not) improve security.
20 - add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
21 - switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.
22
233.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
24 - fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
25 incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
26 - json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
27 - json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.
28
293.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
30 - allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
31 as well (reported by Alex Efros).
32 - allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
33 lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
34 - support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
35 - support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
36 (reported by Вадим Власов).
37 - work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
38 with shared hash keys (Reini Urban).
39 - use stability canary.
40
413.01 Tue Oct 29 16:55:15 CET 2013
42 - backport to perls < 5.18 (reported by Paul Howarth).
43
443.0 Tue Oct 29 01:35:37 CET 2013
45 - implemented an object tagging extension (using the
46 Types::Serialiser serialisation protocol).
47 - reworked the documentation regarding object serialisation,
48 add a new OBJECT SERIALISATION section that explains th
49 whole process.
50 - new setting: allow_tags.
51 - switch to Types::Serialiser booleans.
52 - remove to_json/from_json.
53 - other minor improvements to the documentation.
54
552.34 Thu May 23 11:30:34 CEST 2013
56 - work around bugs in perl 5.18 breaking more than 100
57 widely used modules, without a fix in sight because
58 p5pers don't care about CPAN anymore.
59 - when canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key
60 pointers on the stack. for larger hashes, use the heap,
61 to avoid using too much stackspace.
62 - discuss the problem with setlocale (reported by a few victims).
63
642.33 Wed Aug 1 21:03:52 CEST 2012
65 - internal encode/decode XS wrappers did not expect stack
66 moves caused by callbacks (analyzed and testcase by Jesse Luehrs).
67 - add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
68 - add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
69
702.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
71 - fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
72
732.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
74 - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
75 (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
76 connection without triggering the max_size limit).
77 - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
78 (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
79 and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
80
812.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
82 - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
83 parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
84 - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
85 - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
86 - added -f eval support to json_xs.
87
882.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
89 - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
90 or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
91 by Eric Wilhelm).
92
932.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
94 - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
95 magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
96 side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
97 (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
98 - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
99 - update jpsykes csrf article url.
100 - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
101
1022.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
103 - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
104 (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
105
1062.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
107 - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
108 by Strobl Anton).
109 - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
110 more expected and more true to the documentation.
111
1122.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
113 - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
114 around the issue.
115 - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
116 - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
117 - require common sense.
118
1192.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
120 - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
121 pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
122 debugged by Martin Evans).
123 - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
124 in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
125 - wording of parse error messages has been improved.
126
1272.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
128 - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
129 help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
130 allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
131 wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
132 (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
133
1342.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
135 - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
136 incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
137 various people).
138 - add t/20_faihu.t.
139
1402.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
141 - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
142 (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
143 ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
144 reported by Dmitry Karasik.
145 - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
146
1472.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
148 - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
149 char *.
150 - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
151
1522.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
153 - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
154 failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
155 Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
156 needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
157
1582.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
159 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
160 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
161
1622.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
163 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
164 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
165 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
166 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
167
1682.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
169 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
170 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
171 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
172 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
173 - add ->incr_reset method.
174
1752.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
176 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
177 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
178 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
179 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
180 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
181 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
182 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
183 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
184 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
185 pod directive :/.
186 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
187 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
188
1892.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
190 - update documentation here and there: add a large section
191 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
192 and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
193 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
194 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
195 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
196 between YAML and JSON.
197 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
198 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
199 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
200 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
201 original url changes so comparison is impossible.
202
2032.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
204 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
205 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
206 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
207 comaptible versions in some later release.
208
2092.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
210 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
211 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
212 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
213 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
214 instead.
215 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
216 - make JSON::XS subclassable.

205 it should basically work now, with many bugs as 420 it should basically work now, with many bugs as
206 no production tests have been run yet. 421 no production tests have been run yet.
207 - added more testcases. 422 - added more testcases.
208 - the expected shitload of bugfixes. 423 - the expected shitload of bugfixes.
