3TODO: document conversion algorithm 3 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
4 between YAML and JSON.
5 - update documentation here and there.

50.3 72.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
8 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
9 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
10 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
11 comaptible versions in some later release.
12
132.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
14 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
15 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
16 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
17 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
18 instead.
19 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
20 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
21
221.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
23 - minor doc clarifications.
24 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
25
261.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
27 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
28 parsers :/.
29
301.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
31 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
32 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
33 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
34 the testsuite.
35 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
36 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
37
381.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
39 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
40 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
41 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
42 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
43
441.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
45 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
46 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
47
481.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
49 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
50 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
51
521.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
53 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
54 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
55
561.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
57 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
58 affects convert_blessed only.
59 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
60 one time too often.
61 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
62 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
63 C compilers (windows...).
64
651.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
66 - add convert_blessed setting.
67 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
68 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
69 the allow_blessed setting.
70 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
71 settings that specify a callback to be called when
72 all/specific json objects are encountered.
73 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
74 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
75 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
76 a smaller and faster perl hash.
77 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
78 in decode_json.
79 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
80 of JSON will not have them either.
81 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
82 into a more complex one.
83 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
84 is not an integer.
85 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
86 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
87
881.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
89 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
90 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
91 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
92 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
93 values.
94 - add a reference to
95 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
96 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
97 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
98 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
99
1001.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
101 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
102 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
103 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
104 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
105 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
106 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
107 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
108
1091.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
110 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
111 - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
112 - updated benchmarks.
113
1141.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
115 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
116 the required macros.
117 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
118
1191.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
120 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
121
1221.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
123 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
124 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
125 of unicode.
126 - flag trailing garbage as error.
127 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
128 of characters consumed by a decode.
129 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
130 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
131 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
132
1331.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
134 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
135 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
136 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
137 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
138 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
139 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
140
1411.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
142 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
143 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
144 leading to segfaults.
145 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
146 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
147 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
148 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
149 module.
150 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
151 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
152
1531.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
154 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
155 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
156 This has no effect on normal operation.
157
1581.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
159 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
160 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
161 true and false.
162 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
163 - improve testsuite.
164 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
165 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
166 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
167
1680.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
169 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
170 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
171 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
172 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
173 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
174 - added a security considerations sections.
175
1760.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
177 - code cleanup.
178 - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
179 - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
180 - improve decoding speed of strings by
181 up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
182 - further decoding speedups for strings using
183 lots of \u escapes.
184 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
185
1860.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
187 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
188 versions.
189 - minor documentation fixes.
190 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
191 (reported by Craig Manley).
192 - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
193 by Andreas König).
194
1950.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
196 - documentation updates.
197 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
198 - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
199
2000.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
6 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara). 201 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
7 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules 202 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules
8 (idea by Chris Carline). 203 (idea by Chris Carline).
204 - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
205 - improved the documentation by adding more examples.
9 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created 206 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created
10 json texts a bit. 207 json texts a bit.
11 - added shrink flag. 208 - added shrink flag.
12 - when flag methods are called without enable argument 209 - when flag methods are called without enable argument
13 they will by default enable their flag. 210 they will by default enable their flag.
14 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least 211 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
15 with gcc 4). 212 with gcc 4).
213 - added a test that covers lots of different characters.
214 - clarified some error messages.
215 - error messages now use correct character offset
216 with F_UTF8.
217 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
218 case the called functions do... stuff.
219 - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
220 (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
