2 2
3TODO: document conversion algorithm 3 - update documentation here and there, add a large section
4 about utf/latin1/ascii flags.
5 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
6 between YAML and JSON.
7 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.

50.3 92.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
10 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
11 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
12 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
13 comaptible versions in some later release.
14
152.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
16 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
17 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
18 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
19 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
20 instead.
21 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
22 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
23
241.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
25 - minor doc clarifications.
26 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
27
281.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
29 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
30 parsers :/.
31
321.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
33 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
34 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
35 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
36 the testsuite.
37 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
38 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
39
401.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
41 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
42 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
43 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
44 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
45
461.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
47 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
48 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
49
501.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
51 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
52 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
53
541.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
55 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
56 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
57
581.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
59 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
60 affects convert_blessed only.
61 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
62 one time too often.
63 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
64 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
65 C compilers (windows...).
66
671.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
68 - add convert_blessed setting.
69 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
70 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
71 the allow_blessed setting.
72 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
73 settings that specify a callback to be called when
74 all/specific json objects are encountered.
75 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
76 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
77 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
78 a smaller and faster perl hash.
79 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
80 in decode_json.
81 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
82 of JSON will not have them either.
83 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
84 into a more complex one.
85 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
86 is not an integer.
87 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
88 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
89
901.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
91 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
92 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
93 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
94 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
95 values.
96 - add a reference to
97 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
98 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
99 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
100 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
101
1021.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
103 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
104 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
105 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
106 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
107 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
108 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
109 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
110
1111.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
112 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
113 - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
114 - updated benchmarks.
115
1161.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
117 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
118 the required macros.
119 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
120
1211.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
122 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
123
1241.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
125 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
126 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
127 of unicode.
128 - flag trailing garbage as error.
129 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
130 of characters consumed by a decode.
131 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
132 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
133 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
134
1351.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
136 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
137 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
138 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
139 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
140 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
141 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
142
1431.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
144 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
145 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
146 leading to segfaults.
147 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
148 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
149 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
150 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
151 module.
152 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
153 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
154
1551.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
156 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
157 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
158 This has no effect on normal operation.
159
1601.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
161 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
162 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
163 true and false.
164 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
165 - improve testsuite.
166 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
167 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
168 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
169
1700.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
171 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
172 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
173 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
174 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
175 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
176 - added a security considerations sections.
177
1780.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
179 - code cleanup.
180 - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
181 - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
182 - improve decoding speed of strings by
183 up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
184 - further decoding speedups for strings using
185 lots of \u escapes.
186 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
187
1880.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
189 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
190 versions.
191 - minor documentation fixes.
192 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
193 (reported by Craig Manley).
194 - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
195 by Andreas König).
196
1970.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
198 - documentation updates.
199 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
200 - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
201

206 - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
207 - improved the documentation by adding more examples.

18 - error messages now use correct character offset 217 - error messages now use correct character offset
19 with F_UTF8. 218 with F_UTF8.
20 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in 219 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
21 case the called functions do... stuff. 220 case the called functions do... stuff.
221 - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
222 (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
