94.01 Sun Feb 24 05:03:30 CET 2019
10 - fix some stack corruption caused mostly when calling methods
11 in list context (tewstcase by Wesley Schwengle).
12
134.0 Fri Nov 16 00:06:54 CET 2018
14 - SECURITY IMPLICATION: this release enables allow_nonref by default
15 for compatibnility with RFC 7159 and newer. See "old" vs. "new"
16 JSON under SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS.
17 - reworked the "old" vs. "new" JSON section.
18 - add ->boolean_values to provide the values to which booleans
19 decode (requested by Aristotle Pagaltzis).
20 - decode would wrongly accept ASCII NUL characters instead of
21 reporting them as trailing garbage.
22 - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
23 thrown in callbacks.
24 - incremental parser now more or less respects allow_nonref.
25 - json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode.
26 - add documentation section about I-JSON.
27 - minor documentation fixes/updates.
28
293.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
30 - change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
31 really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
32 (reported by Matthew Horsfall).
33 - string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
34 (testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
35 - be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
36 which might (or might not) improve security.
37 - add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
38 - switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.
39
403.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
41 - fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
42 incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
43 - json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
44 - json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.
45
463.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
47 - allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
48 as well (reported by Alex Efros).
49 - allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
50 lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
51 - support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
52 - support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
53 (reported by Вадим Власов).
54 - work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
55 with shared hash keys (Reini Urban).
56 - use stability canary.
57
583.01 Tue Oct 29 16:55:15 CET 2013
59 - backport to perls < 5.18 (reported by Paul Howarth).
60
613.0 Tue Oct 29 01:35:37 CET 2013
62 - implemented an object tagging extension (using the
63 Types::Serialiser serialisation protocol).
64 - reworked the documentation regarding object serialisation,
65 add a new OBJECT SERIALISATION section that explains th
66 whole process.
67 - new setting: allow_tags.
68 - switch to Types::Serialiser booleans.
69 - remove to_json/from_json.
70 - other minor improvements to the documentation.
71
722.34 Thu May 23 11:30:34 CEST 2013
73 - work around bugs in perl 5.18 breaking more than 100
74 widely used modules, without a fix in sight because
75 p5pers don't care about CPAN anymore.
76 - when canonicalising, only allocate up to 64 hash key
77 pointers on the stack. for larger hashes, use the heap,
78 to avoid using too much stackspace.
79 - discuss the problem with setlocale (reported by a few victims).
80
812.33 Wed Aug 1 21:03:52 CEST 2012
82 - internal encode/decode XS wrappers did not expect stack
83 moves caused by callbacks (analyzed and testcase by Jesse Luehrs).
84 - add bencode as to/from option in bin/json_xs.
85 - add -e option to json_xs, and none and string in/out formats.
86
872.32 Thu Aug 11 19:06:38 CEST 2011
88 - fix a bug in the initial whitespace accumulation.
89
902.31 Wed Jul 27 17:53:05 CEST 2011
91 - don't accumulate initial whitespace in the incremental buffer
92 (this can be useful to allow whitespace-keepalive on a tcp
93 connection without triggering the max_size limit).
94 - properly croak on some invalid inputs that are not strings
95 (e.g. undef) when trying to decode a json text (reported
96 and analyzed by Goro Fuji).
97
982.3 Wed Aug 18 01:26:47 CEST 2010
99 - make sure decoder doesn't change the decoding in the incremental
100 parser (testcase provided by Hendrik Schumacher).
101 - applied patch by DaTa for Data::Dumper support in json_xs.
102 - added -t dump support to json_xs, using Data::Dump.
103 - added -f eval support to json_xs.
104
1052.29 Wed Mar 17 02:39:12 CET 2010
106 - fix a memory leak when callbacks set using filter_json_object
107 or filter_json_single_key_object were called (great testcase
108 by Eric Wilhelm).
109
1102.28 Thu Mar 11 20:30:46 CET 2010
111 - implement our own atof function - perl's can be orders of
112 magnitudes slower than even the system one. on the positive
113 side, ours seems to be more exact in general than perl's.
114 (testcase provided by Tim Meadowcroft).
115 - clarify floating point conversion issues a bit.
116 - update jpsykes csrf article url.
117 - updated benchmark section - JSON::PP became much faster!
118
1192.27 Thu Jan 7 07:35:08 CET 2010
120 - support relaxed option inside the incremental parser
121 (testcase provided by IKEGAMI via Makamaka).
122
1232.26 Sat Oct 10 03:26:19 CEST 2009
124 - big integers could become truncated (based on patch
125 by Strobl Anton).
126 - output format change: indent now adds a final newline, which is
127 more expected and more true to the documentation.
128
1292.25 Sat Aug 8 12:04:41 CEST 2009
130 - the perl debugger completely breaks lvalue subs - try to work
131 around the issue.
132 - ignore RMAGICAL hashes w.r.t. CANONICAL.
133 - try to work around a possible char signedness issue on aix.
134 - require common sense.
135
1362.24 Sat May 30 08:25:45 CEST 2009
137 - the incremental parser did not update its parse offset
138 pointer correctly when parsing utf8-strings (nicely
139 debugged by Martin Evans).
140 - appending a non-utf8-string to the incremental parser
141 in utf8 mode failed to upgrade the string.
142 - wording of parse error messages has been improved.
143
1442.232 Sun Feb 22 11:12:25 CET 2009
145 - use an exponential algorithm to extend strings, to
146 help platforms with bad or abysmal==windows memory
147 allocater performance, at the expense of some memory
148 wastage (use shrink to recover this extra memory).
149 (nicely analysed by Dmitry Karasik).
150
1512.2311 Thu Feb 19 02:12:54 CET 2009
152 - add a section "JSON and ECMAscript" to explain some
153 incompatibilities between the two (problem was noted by
154 various people).
155 - add t/20_faihu.t.
156
1572.231 Thu Nov 20 04:59:08 CET 2008
158 - work around 5.10.0 magic bugs where manipulating magic values
159 (such as $1) would permanently damage them as perl would
160 ignore the magicalness, by making a full copy of the string,
161 reported by Dmitry Karasik.
162 - work around spurious warnings under older perl 5.8's.
163
1642.23 Mon Sep 29 05:08:29 CEST 2008
165 - fix a compilation problem when perl is not using char * as, well,
166 char *.
167 - use PL_hexdigit in favour of rolling our own.
168
1692.2222 Sun Jul 20 18:49:00 CEST 2008
170 - same game again, broken 5.10 finds yet another assertion
171 failure, and the workaround causes additional runtime warnings.
172 Work around the next assertion AND the warning. 5.10 seriously
173 needs to adjust it's attitude against working code.
174
1752.222 Sat Jul 19 06:15:34 CEST 2008
176 - you work around one -DDEBUGGING assertion bug in perl 5.10
177 just to hit the next one. work around this one, too.
178
1792.22 Tue Jul 15 13:26:51 CEST 2008
180 - allow higher nesting levels in incremental parser.
181 - error out earlier in some cases in the incremental parser
182 (as suggested by Yuval Kogman).
183 - improve incr-parser test (Yuval Kogman).
184
1852.21 Tue Jun 3 08:43:23 CEST 2008
186 - (hopefully) work around a perl 5.10 bug with -DDEBUGGING.
187 - remove the experimental status of the incremental parser interface.
188 - move =encoding around again, to avoid bugs with search.cpan.org.
189 when can we finally have utf-8 in pod???
190 - add ->incr_reset method.
191
1922.2 Wed Apr 16 20:37:25 CEST 2008
193 - lifted the log2 rounding restriction of max_depth and max_size.
194 - make booleans mutable by creating a copy instead of handing out
195 the same scalar (reported by pasha sadri).
196 - added support for incremental json parsing (still EXPERIMENTAL).
197 - implemented and added a json_xs command line utility that can convert
198 from/to a number of serialisation formats - tell me if you need more.
199 - implement allow_unknown/get_allow_unknown methods.
200 - fixed documentation of max_depth w.r.t. higher and equal.
201 - moved down =encoding directive a bit, too much breaks if it's the first
202 pod directive :/.
203 - removed documentation section on other modules, it became somewhat
204 outdated and is nowadays mostly of historical interest.
205
2062.1 Wed Mar 19 23:23:18 CET 2008
3 - update documentation here and there, add a large section 207 - update documentation here and there: add a large section
4 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration. 208 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration
209 and extend and clarify the JSON and YAML section.
5 - minor speed enhancements when encoding non-ascii data. 210 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii chars.
211 - minor speedup in number encoding case.
6 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities 212 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
7 between YAML and JSON. 213 between YAML and JSON.
8 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc. 214 - switch to static inline from just inline when using gcc.
9 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it. 215 - add =encoding utf-8 to the manpage, now that perl 5.10 supports it.
216 - fix some issues with UV to JSON conversion of unknown impact.
217 - published the yahoo locals search result used in benchmarks as the
218 original url changes so comparison is impossible.
