1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS 1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2 2
3TODO: document conversion algorithm 3 - no new features/code changes in this release.
4 - apperently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
5 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
6 the testsuite.
7 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
8 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
4 9
50.3 101.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
11 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
12 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
13 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
14 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
15
161.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
17 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
18 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
19
201.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
21 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
22 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
23
241.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
25 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
26 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
27
281.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
29 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
30 affects convert_blessed only.
31 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
32 one time too often.
33 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
34 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
35 C compilers (windows...).
36
371.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
38 - add convert_blessed setting.
39 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
40 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
41 the allow_blessed setting.
42 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
43 settings that specify a callback to be called when
44 all/specific json objects are encountered.
45 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
46 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
47 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
48 a smaller and faster perl hash.
49 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
50 in decode_json.
51 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
52 of JSON will not have them either.
53 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
54 into a more complex one.
55 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
56 is not an integer.
57 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
58 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
59
601.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
61 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
62 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
63 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
64 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
65 values.
66 - add a reference to
67 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
68 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
69 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
70 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
71
721.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
73 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
74 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
75 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
76 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
77 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
78 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
79 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
80
811.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
82 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
83 - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
84 - updated benchmarks.
85
861.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
87 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
88 the required macros.
89 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
90
911.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
92 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
93
941.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
95 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
96 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
97 of unicode.
98 - flag trailing garbage as error.
99 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
100 of characters consumed by a decode.
101 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
102 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
103 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
104
1051.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
106 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
107 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
108 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
109 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
110 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
111 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
112
1131.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
114 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
115 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
116 leading to segfaults.
117 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
118 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
119 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
120 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
121 module.
122 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
123 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
124
1251.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
126 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
127 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
128 This has no effect on normal operation.
129
1301.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
131 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
132 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
133 true and false.
134 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
135 - improve testsuite.
136 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
137 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
138 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
139
1400.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
141 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
142 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
143 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
144 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
145 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
146 - added a security considerations sections.
147
1480.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
149 - code cleanup.
150 - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
151 - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
152 - improve decoding speed of strings by
153 up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
154 - further decoding speedups for strings using
155 lots of \u escapes.
156 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
157
1580.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
159 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
160 versions.
161 - minor documentation fixes.
162 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
163 (reported by Craig Manley).
164 - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
165 by Andreas König).
166
1670.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
168 - documentation updates.
169 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
170 - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
171
1720.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
6 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara). 173 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
7 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules 174 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules
8 (idea by Chris Carline). 175 (idea by Chris Carline).
176 - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
177 - improved the documentation by adding more examples.
9 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created 178 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created
10 json texts a bit. 179 json texts a bit.
11 - added shrink flag. 180 - added shrink flag.
12 - when flag methods are called without enable argument 181 - when flag methods are called without enable argument
13 they will by default enable their flag. 182 they will by default enable their flag.
14 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least 183 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
15 with gcc 4). 184 with gcc 4).
185 - added a test that covers lots of different characters.
186 - clarified some error messages.
187 - error messages now use correct character offset
188 with F_UTF8.
189 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
190 case the called functions do... stuff.
191 - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
192 (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
16 193
170.2 Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007 1940.2 Fri Mar 23 00:23:34 CET 2007
18 - the "could not sleep without debuggign release". 195 - the "could not sleep without debuggign release".
19 it should basically work now, with many bugs as 196 it should basically work now, with many bugs as
20 no production tests have been run yet. 197 no production tests have been run yet.
