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