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 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
16 thrown in callbacks.
17 - json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode.
18 - json_xs now uses allow_nonref to decode json.
19
203.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
21 - change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
22 really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
23 (reported by Matthew Horsfall).
24 - string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
25 (testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
26 - be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
27 which might (or might not) improve security.
28 - add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
29 - switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.
30
313.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
32 - fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
33 incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
34 - json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
35 - json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.
36
373.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
38 - allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
39 as well (reported by Alex Efros).
40 - allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
41 lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
42 - support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
43 - support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
44 (reported by Вадим Власов).
45 - work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
46 with shared hash keys (Reini Urban).
47 - use stability canary.
48
493.01 Tue Oct 29 16:55:15 CET 2013
50 - backport to perls < 5.18 (reported by Paul Howarth).
51
523.0 Tue Oct 29 01:35:37 CET 2013
53 - implemented an object tagging extension (using the
54 Types::Serialiser serialisation protocol).
55 - reworked the documentation regarding object serialisation,
56 add a new OBJECT SERIALISATION section that explains th
57 whole process.
58 - new setting: allow_tags.
59 - switch to Types::Serialiser booleans.
60 - remove to_json/from_json.
61 - other minor improvements to the documentation.
62
632.34 Thu May 23 11:30:34 CEST 2013
64 - work around bugs in perl 5.18 breaking more than 100
65 widely used modules, without a fix in sight because
66 p5pers don't care about CPAN anymore.
67 - when canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key
68 pointers on the stack. for larger hashes, use the heap,
69 to avoid using too much stackspace.
70 - discuss the problem with setlocale (reported by a few victims).
71
722.33 Wed Aug 1 21:03:52 CEST 2012
73 - internal encode/decode XS wrappers did not expect stack
74 moves caused by callbacks (analyzed and testcase by Jesse Luehrs).
75 - add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
76 - add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
77
782.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
79 - fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
80
812.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
82 - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
83 (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
84 connection without triggering the max_size limit).
85 - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
86 (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
87 and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
88
892.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
90 - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
91 parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
92 - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
93 - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
94 - added -f eval support to json_xs.
95
962.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
97 - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
98 or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
99 by Eric Wilhelm).
100
1012.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
102 - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
103 magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
104 side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
105 (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
106 - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
107 - update jpsykes csrf article url.
108 - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
109
1102.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
111 - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
112 (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
113
1142.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
115 - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
116 by Strobl Anton).
117 - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
118 more expected and more true to the documentation.
119
1202.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
121 - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
122 around the issue.
123 - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
124 - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
125 - require common sense.
126
1272.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
128 - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
129 pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
130 debugged by Martin Evans).
131 - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
132 in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
133 - wording of parse error messages has been improved.
134
1352.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
136 - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
137 help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
138 allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
139 wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
140 (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
141
1422.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
143 - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
144 incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
145 various people).
146 - add t/20_faihu.t.
147
1482.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
149 - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
150 (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
151 ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
152 reported by Dmitry Karasik.
153 - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
154
1552.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
156 - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
157 char *.
158 - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
159
1602.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
161 - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
162 failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
163 Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
164 needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
165
1662.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
167 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
168 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
169
1702.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
171 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
172 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
173 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
174 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
175
1762.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
177 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
178 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
179 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
180 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
181 - add ->incr_reset method.
182
1832.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
184 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
185 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
186 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
3 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL). 187 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
4 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert 188 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
5 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more. 189 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
190 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
191 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
6 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if its the first 192 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
7 pod directive :/. 193 pod directive :/.
8 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat 194 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
9 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest. 195 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
