3TODO: document conversion algorithm 32.2
4 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
5 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
6 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
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13 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.

50.3 152.1 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
292.01 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
352.0 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
441.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
45 - minor doc clarifications.
46 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
47
481.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
49 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
50 parsers :/.
51
521.51 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
601.5 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
661.44 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
701.43 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
741.42 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
781.41 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
871.4 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
1101.3 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
1221.24 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
1311.23 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
1361.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
137 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
138 the required macros.
139 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
140
1411.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
142 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
143
1441.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
145 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
146 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
147 of unicode.
148 - flag trailing garbage as error.
149 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
150 of characters consumed by a decode.
151 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
152 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
153 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
154
1551.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
156 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
157 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
158 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
159 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
160 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
161 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
162
1631.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
164 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
165 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
166 leading to segfaults.
167 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
168 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
169 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
170 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
171 module.
172 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
173 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
174
1751.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
176 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
177 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
178 This has no effect on normal operation.
179
1801.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
181 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
182 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
183 true and false.
184 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
185 - improve testsuite.
186 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
187 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
188 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
189
1900.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
191 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
192 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
193 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
194 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
195 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
196 - added a security considerations sections.
197
1980.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
199 - code cleanup.
200 - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
201 - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
202 - improve decoding speed of strings by
203 up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
204 - further decoding speedups for strings using
205 lots of \u escapes.
206 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
207
2080.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
209 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
210 versions.
211 - minor documentation fixes.
212 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
213 (reported by Craig Manley).
214 - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
215 by Andreas König).
216
2170.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
218 - documentation updates.
219 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
220 - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
