1	Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS	1	Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2		2
3	TODO: maybe use some overload magic to decode true and false into something	3	2.2
4	not 0 or 1 in perl. or use attached magic?	4	- make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
5	TODO: get rid of dynamic arrays to support so-called C compilers	5	the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
6	by fucking microsoft that do not do C. argl, snprintf is also	6	- added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
7	missing.	7	- implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
		8	from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
		9	- implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
		10	- moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if its the first
		11	pod directive :/.
		12	- removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
		13	outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
8		14
		15	2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
		16	- update documentation here and there: add a large section
		17	about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
		18	and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
		19	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
		20	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
		21	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
		22	between YAML and JSON.
		23	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
		24	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
		25	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
		26	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
		27	original url changes so comparison is impossible.
		28
		29	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
		30	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
		31	renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
		32	The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
		33	comaptible versions in some later release.
		34
		35	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
		36	- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
		37	compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
		38	Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
		39	as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
		40	instead.
		41	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
		42	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
		43
		44	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
		45	- minor doc clarifications.
		46	- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
		47
		48	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
		49	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
		50	parsers :/.
		51
		52	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
		53	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
		54	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
		55	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
		56	the testsuite.
		57	- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
		58	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
		59
		60	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
		61	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
		62	Marcus Holland-Moritz.
		63	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
		64	accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
		65
		66	1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
		67	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
		68	the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
		69
		70	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
		71	- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
		72	only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
		73
		74	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
		75	- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
		76	(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
		77
		78	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
		79	- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
		80	affects convert_blessed only.
		81	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
		82	one time too often.
		83	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
		84	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
		85	C compilers (windows...).
		86
		87	1.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
		88	- add convert_blessed setting.
		89	- encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
		90	contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
		91	the allow_blessed setting.
		92	- added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
		93	settings that specify a callback to be called when
		94	all/specific json objects are encountered.
		95	- assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
		96	optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
		97	speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
		98	a smaller and faster perl hash.
		99	- implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
		100	in decode_json.
		101	- remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
		102	of JSON will not have them either.
		103	- bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
		104	into a more complex one.
		105	- work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
		106	is not an integer.
		107	- unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
		108	and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
		109
		110	1.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
		111	- make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
		112	and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
		113	(JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
		114	- add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
		115	values.
		116	- add a reference to
		117	http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
		118	- removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
		119	Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
		120	which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
		121
		122	1.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
		123	- added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
		124	- get rid of some c99-isms again.
		125	- localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
		126	string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
		127	- increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
		128	usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
		129	when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
		130
		131	1.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
		132	- greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
		133	- implement a number of µ-optimisations.
		134	- updated benchmarks.
		135
		136	1.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
9	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer	137	- require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
10	the required macros.	138	the required macros.
11	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.	139	- possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
