2		2
3	TODO: maybe use some overload magic to decode true and false into something	3	2.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
4	not 0 or 1 in perl. or use attached magic?	4	- fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
5	TODO: get rid of dynamic arrays to support so-called C compilers	5	or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
6	by fucking microsoft that do not do C. argl, snprintf is also	6	by Eric Wilhelm).
7	missing.
8		7
9	1.12	8	2.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
		9	- implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
		10	magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
		11	side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
		12	(testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
		13	- clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
		14	- update jpsykes csrf article url.
		15	- updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
		16
		17	2.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
		18	- support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
		19	(testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
		20
		21	2.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
		22	- big integers could become truncated (based on patch
		23	by Strobl Anton).
		24	- output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
		25	more expected and more true to the documentation.
		26
		27	2.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
		28	- the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
		29	around the issue.
		30	- ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
		31	- try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
		32	- require common sense.
		33
		34	2.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
		35	- the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
		36	pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
		37	debugged by Martin Evans).
		38	- appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
		39	in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
		40	- wording of parse error messages has been improved.
		41
		42	2.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
		43	- use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
		44	help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
		45	allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
		46	wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
		47	(nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
		48
		49	2.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
		50	- add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
		51	incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
		52	various people).
		53	- add t/20_faihu.t.
		54
		55	2.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
		56	- work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
		57	(such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
		58	ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
		59	reported by Dmitry Karasik.
		60	- work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
		61
		62	2.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
		63	- fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
		64	char *.
		65	- use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
		66
		67	2.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
		68	- same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
		69	failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
		70	Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
		71	needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
		72
		73	2.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
		74	- you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
		75	just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
		76
		77	2.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
		78	- allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
		79	- error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
		80	(as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
		81	- improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
		82
		83	2.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
		84	- (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
		85	- remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
		86	- move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
		87	when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
		88	- add ->incr_reset method.
		89
		90	2.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
		91	- lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
		92	- make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
		93	the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
		94	- added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
		95	- implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
		96	from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
		97	- implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
		98	- fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
		99	- moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
		100	pod directive :/.
		101	- removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
		102	outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
		103
		104	2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
		105	- update documentation here and there: add a large section
		106	about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
		107	and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
		108	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
		109	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
		110	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
		111	between YAML and JSON.
		112	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
		113	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
		114	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
		115	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
		116	original url changes so comparison is impossible.
		117
		118	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
		119	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
		120	renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
		121	The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
		122	comaptible versions in some later release.
		123
		124	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
		125	- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
		126	compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
		127	Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
		128	as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
		129	instead.
		130	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
		131	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
		132
		133	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
		134	- minor doc clarifications.
		135	- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
		136
		137	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
		138	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
		139	parsers :/.
		140
		141	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
		142	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
		143	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
		144	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
		145	the testsuite.
		146	- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
		147	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
		148
		149	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
		150	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
		151	Marcus Holland-Moritz.
		152	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
		153	accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
		154
		155	1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
		156	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
		157	the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
		158
		159	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
		160	- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
		161	only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
		162
		163	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
		164	- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
		165	(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
		166
		167	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
		168	- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
		169	affects convert_blessed only.
		170	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
		171	one time too often.
		172	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
		173	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
		174	C compilers (windows...).
		175
		176	1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
		177	- add convert_blessed setting.
		178	- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
		179	contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
		180	the allow_blessed setting.
		181	- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
		182	settings that specify a callback to be called when
		183	all/specific json objects are encountered.
		184	- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
		185	optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
		186	speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
		187	a smaller and faster perl hash.
		188	- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
		189	in decode_json.
		190	- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
		191	of JSON will not have them either.
		192	- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
		193	into a more complex one.
		194	- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
		195	is not an integer.
		196	- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
		197	and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
		198
		199	1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
		200	- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
		201	and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
		202	(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
		203	- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
		204	values.
		205	- add a reference to
		206	http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
		207	- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
		208	Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
		209	which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
		210
		211	1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
		212	- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
		213	- get rid of some c99-isms again.
		214	- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
		215	string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
		216	- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
		217	usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
		218	when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
		219
		220	1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
		221	- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
		222	- implement a number of µ-optimisations.
		223	- updated benchmarks.
		224
		225	1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
		226	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
		227	the required macros.
		228	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
		229
		230	1.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
		231	- character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
		232
		233	1.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
		234	- decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).

12	- fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.	237	- flag trailing garbage as error.
		238	- new decode_prefix method that returns the number
		239	of characters consumed by a decode.
13	- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,	240	- max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
