		10	4.01 Sun Feb 24 05:03:30 CET 2019
		11	- fix some stack corruption caused mostly when calling methods
		12	in list context (tewstcase by Wesley Schwengle).
		13
		14	4.0 Fri Nov 16 00:06:54 CET 2018
		15	- SECURITY IMPLICATION: this release enables allow_nonref by default
		16	for compatibnility with RFC 7159 and newer. See "old" vs. "new"
		17	JSON under SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS.
		18	- reworked the "old" vs. "new" JSON section.
		19	- add ->boolean_values to provide the values to which booleans
		20	decode (requested by Aristotle Pagaltzis).
		21	- decode would wrongly accept ASCII NUL characters instead of
		22	reporting them as trailing garbage.
		23	- work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
		24	thrown in callbacks.
		25	- incremental parser now more or less respects allow_nonref.
		26	- json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode.
		27	- add documentation section about I-JSON.
		28	- minor documentation fixes/updates.
		29
		30	3.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
		31	- change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
		32	really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
		33	(reported by Matthew Horsfall).
		34	- string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
		35	(testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
		36	- be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
		37	which might (or might not) improve security.
		38	- add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
		39	- switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.
		40
		41	3.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
		42	- fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
		43	incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
		44	- json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
		45	- json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.
		46
		47	3.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
		48	- allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
		49	as well (reported by Alex Efros).
		50	- allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
		51	lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
		52	- support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
		53	- support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
		54	(reported by Вадим Власов).
		55	- work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
		56	with shared hash keys (Reini Urban).
		57	- use stability canary.
		58
		59	3.01 Tue Oct 29 16:55:15 CET 2013
		60	- backport to perls < 5.18 (reported by Paul Howarth).
		61
		62	3.0 Tue Oct 29 01:35:37 CET 2013
		63	- implemented an object tagging extension (using the
		64	Types::Serialiser serialisation protocol).
		65	- reworked the documentation regarding object serialisation,
		66	add a new OBJECT SERIALISATION section that explains th
		67	whole process.
		68	- new setting: allow_tags.
		69	- switch to Types::Serialiser booleans.
		70	- remove to_json/from_json.
		71	- other minor improvements to the documentation.
		72
		73	2.34 Thu May 23 11:30:34 CEST 2013
		74	- work around bugs in perl 5.18 breaking more than 100
		75	widely used modules, without a fix in sight because
		76	p5pers don't care about CPAN anymore.
		77	- when canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key
		78	pointers on the stack. for larger hashes, use the heap,
		79	to avoid using too much stackspace.
		80	- discuss the problem with setlocale (reported by a few victims).
		81
		82	2.33 Wed Aug 1 21:03:52 CEST 2012
		83	- internal encode/decode XS wrappers did not expect stack
		84	moves caused by callbacks (analyzed and testcase by Jesse Luehrs).
		85	- add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
		86	- add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
		87
		88	2.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
		89	- fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
		90
		91	2.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
		92	- don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
		93	(this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
		94	connection without triggering the max_size limit).
		95	- properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
		96	(e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
		97	and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
		98
		99	2.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
		100	- make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
		101	parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
		102	- applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
		103	- added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
		104	- added -f eval support to json_xs.
		105
		106	2.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
		107	- fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
		108	or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
		109	by Eric Wilhelm).
		110
		111	2.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
		112	- implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
		113	magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
		114	side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
		115	(testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
		116	- clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
		117	- update jpsykes csrf article url.
		118	- updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
		119
		120	2.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
		121	- support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
		122	(testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
		123
		124	2.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
		125	- big integers could become truncated (based on patch
		126	by Strobl Anton).
		127	- output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
		128	more expected and more true to the documentation.
		129
		130	2.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
		131	- the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
		132	around the issue.
		133	- ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
		134	- try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
		135	- require common sense.
		136
		137	2.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
		138	- the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
		139	pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
		140	debugged by Martin Evans).
		141	- appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
		142	in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
		143	- wording of parse error messages has been improved.
		144
		145	2.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
		146	- use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
		147	help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
		148	allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
		149	wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
		150	(nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
		151
		152	2.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
		153	- add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
		154	incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
		155	various people).
		156	- add t/20_faihu.t.
		157
		158	2.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
		159	- work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
		160	(such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
		161	ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
		162	reported by Dmitry Karasik.
		163	- work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
		164
		165	2.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
		166	- fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
		167	char *.
		168	- use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
		169
		170	2.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
		171	- same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
		172	failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
		173	Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
		174	needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
		175
		176	2.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
		177	- you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
		178	just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
		179
		180	2.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
		181	- allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
		182	- error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
		183	(as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
		184	- improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
		185
		186	2.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
		187	- (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
		188	- remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
		189	- move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
		190	when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
		191	- add ->incr_reset method.
		192
		193	2.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
		194	- lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
		195	- make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
		196	the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
		197	- added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
		198	- implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
		199	from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
		200	- implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
		201	- fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
		202	- moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
		203	pod directive :/.
		204	- removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
		205	outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
		206
		207	2.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
		208	- update documentation here and there: add a large section
		209	about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
		210	and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
		211	- medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
		212	- minor speedup in number encoding case.
		213	- extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
		214	between YAML and JSON.
		215	- switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
		216	- add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
		217	- fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
		218	- published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
		219	original url changes so comparison is impossible.
		220
		221	2.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
		222	- INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
		223	renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
		224	The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
		225	comaptible versions in some later release.
		226
		227	2.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
		228	- this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
		229	compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
		230	Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
		231	as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
		232	instead.
		233	- added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
		234	- make JSON::XS subclassable.
		235
		236	1.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
		237	- minor doc clarifications.
		238	- fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
		239
		240	1.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
		241	- remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
		242	parsers :/.
		243
		244	1.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
		245	- encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
		246	- apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
		247	JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
		248	the testsuite.
		249	- quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
		250	- require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
		251
		252	1.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
		253	- add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
		254	Marcus Holland-Moritz.
		255	- implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
		256	accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
		257
		258	1.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
		259	- very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
		260	the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
		261
		262	1.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
		263	- convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
		264	only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
		265
		266	1.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
		267	- fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
		268	(report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
		269
		270	1.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
		271	- fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
		272	affects convert_blessed only.
		273	- fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
		274	one time too often.
		275	- catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
		276	- antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
		277	C compilers (windows...).
