3TODO: maybe detetc and croak on more invalid inputs (e.g. +-inf/nan)

12TODO: [PATCH] Types::Serialiser: Inline true(), false() and error() functions
13
14TODO: document & testcase ->boolean_values (aristoteles).
15 - json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode.
16
173.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
18 - change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
19 really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
20 (reported by Matthew Horsfall).
21 - string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
22 (testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
23 - be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
24 which might (or might not) improve security.
25 - add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
26 - switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.
27
283.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
29 - fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
30 incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
31 - json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
32 - json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.
33
343.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
35 - allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
36 as well (reported by Alex Efros).
37 - allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
38 lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
39 - support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
40 - support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
41 (reported by Вадим Власов).
42 - work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
43 with shared hash keys (Reini Urban).
44 - use stability canary.
45
463.01 Tue Oct 29 16:55:15 CET 2013
47 - backport to perls < 5.18 (reported by Paul Howarth).
48
493.0 Tue Oct 29 01:35:37 CET 2013
50 - implemented an object tagging extension (using the
51 Types::Serialiser serialisation protocol).
52 - reworked the documentation regarding object serialisation,
53 add a new OBJECT SERIALISATION section that explains th
54 whole process.
55 - new setting: allow_tags.
56 - switch to Types::Serialiser booleans.
57 - remove to_json/from_json.
58 - other minor improvements to the documentation.
59
602.34 Thu May 23 11:30:34 CEST 2013
61 - work around bugs in perl 5.18 breaking more than 100
62 widely used modules, without a fix in sight because
63 p5pers don't care about CPAN anymore.
64 - when canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key
65 pointers on the stack. for larger hashes, use the heap,
66 to avoid using too much stackspace.
67 - discuss the problem with setlocale (reported by a few victims).
68
692.33 Wed Aug 1 21:03:52 CEST 2012
70 - internal encode/decode XS wrappers did not expect stack
71 moves caused by callbacks (analyzed and testcase by Jesse Luehrs).
72 - add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
73 - add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
74
752.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
76 - fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
77
782.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
79 - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
80 (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
81 connection without triggering the max_size limit).
82 - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
83 (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
84 and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
85
862.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
87 - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
88 parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
89 - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
90 - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
91 - added -f eval support to json_xs.
92
932.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
94 - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
95 or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
96 by Eric Wilhelm).
97
982.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
99 - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
100 magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
101 side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
102 (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
103 - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
104 - update jpsykes csrf article url.
105 - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
106
1072.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
108 - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
109 (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
110
1112.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
112 - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
113 by Strobl Anton).
114 - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
115 more expected and more true to the documentation.
116
1172.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
118 - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
119 around the issue.
120 - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
121 - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
122 - require common sense.
123
1242.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
125 - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
126 pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
127 debugged by Martin Evans).
128 - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
129 in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
130 - wording of parse error messages has been improved.
131
1322.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
133 - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
134 help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
135 allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
136 wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
137 (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
138
1392.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
140 - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
141 incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
142 various people).
143 - add t/20_faihu.t.
144
1452.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
146 - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
147 (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
148 ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
149 reported by Dmitry Karasik.
150 - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
151
1522.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
153 - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
154 char *.
155 - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
156
1572.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
158 - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
159 failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
160 Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
161 needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
162
1632.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
164 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
165 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
166
1672.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
168 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
169 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
170 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
171 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
172
1732.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
174 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
175 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
176 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
177 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
178 - add ->incr_reset method.
179
1802.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
181 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
3 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out 182 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
4 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri). 183 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
5 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL). 184 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
6 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert 185 - 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. 186 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
187 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
188 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
8 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if its the first 189 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
9 pod directive :/. 190 pod directive :/.
10 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat 191 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
11 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest. 192 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
