1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS 1Revision history for Perl extension JSON::XS
2 2
30.3 3 - update documentation here and there, add a large section
4 about utf8/latin1/ascii flags, add a security consideration.
5 - medium speed enhancements when encoding/decoding non-ascii data.
6 - extend and clarify the section on incompatibilities
7 between YAML and JSON.
8 - 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.
10
112.01 Wed Dec 5 11:40:28 CET 2007
12 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: to_json and from_json have been
13 renamed to encode_json/decode_json for JSON.pm compatibility.
14 The old functions croak and might be replaced by JSON.pm
15 comaptible versions in some later release.
16
172.0 Tue Dec 4 11:30:46 CET 2007
18 - this is supposed to be the first version of JSON::XS
19 compatible with version 2.0+ of the JSON module.
20 Using the JSON module as frontend to JSON::XS should be
21 as fast as using JSON::XS directly, so consider using it
22 instead.
23 - added get_* methods for all "simple" options.
24 - make JSON::XS subclassable.
25
261.53 Tue Nov 13 23:58:33 CET 2007
27 - minor doc clarifications.
28 - fixed many doc typos (patch by Thomas L. Shinnick).
29
301.52 Mon Oct 15 03:22:06 CEST 2007
31 - remove =encoding pod directive again, it confuses too many pod
32 parsers :/.
33
341.51 Sat Oct 13 03:55:56 CEST 2007
35 - encode empty arrays/hashes in a compact way when pretty is enabled.
36 - apparently JSON::XS was used to find some bugs in the
37 JSON_checker testsuite, so add (the corrected) JSON_checker tests to
38 the testsuite.
39 - quite a bit of doc updates/extension.
40 - require 5.8.2, as this seems to be the first unicode-stable version.
41
421.5 Tue Aug 28 04:05:38 CEST 2007
43 - add support for tied hashes, based on ideas and testcase by
44 Marcus Holland-Moritz.
45 - implemented relaxed parsing mode where some extensions are being
46 accepted. generation is still JSON-only.
47
481.44 Wed Aug 22 01:02:44 CEST 2007
49 - very experimental process-emulation support, slowing everything down.
50 the horribly broken perl threads are still not supported - YMMV.
51
521.43 Thu Jul 26 13:26:37 CEST 2007
53 - convert big json numbers exclusively consisting of digits to NV
54 only when there is no loss of precision, otherwise to string.
55
561.42 Tue Jul 24 00:51:18 CEST 2007
57 - fix a crash caused by not handling missing array elements
58 (report and testcase by Jay Kuri).
59
601.41 Tue Jul 10 18:21:44 CEST 2007
61 - fix compilation with NDEBUG (assert side-effect),
62 affects convert_blessed only.
63 - fix a bug in decode filters calling ENTER; SAVETMPS;
64 one time too often.
65 - catch a typical error in TO_JSON methods.
66 - antique-ised XS.xs again to work with outdated
67 C compilers (windows...).
68
691.4 Mon Jul 2 10:06:30 CEST 2007
70 - add convert_blessed setting.
71 - encode did not catch all blessed objects, encoding their
72 contents in most cases. This has been fixed by introducing
73 the allow_blessed setting.
74 - added filter_json_object and filter_json_single_key_object
75 settings that specify a callback to be called when
76 all/specific json objects are encountered.
77 - assume that most object keys are simple ascii words and
78 optimise this case, penalising the general case. This can
79 speed up decoding by 30% in typical cases and gives
80 a smaller and faster perl hash.
81 - implemented simpleminded, optional resource size checking
82 in decode_json.
83 - remove objToJson/jsonToObj aliases, as the next version
84 of JSON will not have them either.
85 - bit the bullet and converted the very simple json object
86 into a more complex one.
87 - work around a bug where perl wrongly claims an integer
88 is not an integer.
89 - unbundle JSON::XS::Boolean into own pm file so Storable
90 and similar modules can resolve the overloading when thawing.
91
921.3 Sun Jun 24 01:55:02 CEST 2007
93 - make JSON::XS::true and false special overloaded objects
94 and return those instead of 1 and 0 for those json atoms
95 (JSON::PP compatibility is NOT achieved yet).
96 - add JSON::XS::is_bool predicate to test for those special
97 values.
98 - add a reference to
99 http://jpsykes.com/47/practical-csrf-and-json-security.
100 - removed require 5.8.8 again, it is just not very expert-friendly.
101 Also try to be more compatible with slightly older versions,
102 which are not recommended (because they are buggy).
103
1041.24 Mon Jun 11 05:40:49 CEST 2007
105 - added informative section on JSON-as-YAML.
106 - get rid of some c99-isms again.
107 - localise dec->cur in decode_str, speeding up
108 string decoding considerably (>15% on my amd64 + gcc).
109 - increased SHORT_STRING_LEN to 16kb: stack space is
110 usually plenty, and this actually saves memory
111 when !shrinking as short strings will fit perfectly.
112
1131.23 Wed Jun 6 20:13:06 CEST 2007
114 - greatly improved small integer encoding and decoding speed.
115 - implement a number of µ-optimisations.
116 - updated benchmarks.
117
1181.22 Thu May 24 00:07:25 CEST 2007
119 - require 5.8.8 explicitly as older perls do not seem to offer
120 the required macros.
121 - possibly made it compile on so-called C compilers by microsoft.
122
1231.21 Wed May 9 18:40:32 CEST 2007
124 - character offset reported for trailing garbage was random.
125
1261.2 Wed May 9 18:35:01 CEST 2007
127 - decode did not work with magical scalars (doh!).
128 - added latin1 flag to produce JSON texts in the latin1 subset
129 of unicode.
130 - flag trailing garbage as error.
131 - new decode_prefix method that returns the number
132 of characters consumed by a decode.
133 - max octets/char in perls UTF-X is actually 13, not 11,
134 as pointed out by Glenn Linderman.
135 - fixed typoe reported by YAMASHINA Hio.
136
1371.11 Mon Apr 9 07:05:49 CEST 2007
138 - properly 0-terminate sv's returned by encode to help
139 C libraries that expect that 0 to be there.
140 - partially "port" JSON from C to microsofts fucking broken
141 pseudo-C. They should be burned to the ground for pissing
142 on standards. And I should be stoned for even trying to
143 support this filthy excuse for a c compiler.
144
1451.1 Wed Apr 4 01:45:00 CEST 2007
146 - clarify documentation (pointed out by Quinn Weaver).
147 - decode_utf8 sometimes did not correctly flag errors,
148 leading to segfaults.
149 - further reduced default nesting depth to 512 due to the test
150 failure by that anonymous "chris" whose e-mail address seems
151 to be impossible to get. Tests on other freebsd systems indicate
152 that this is likely a problem in his/her configuration and not this
153 module.
154 - renamed json => JSON in error messages.
155 - corrected the character offset in some error messages.
156
1571.01 Sat Mar 31 16:15:40 CEST 2007
158 - do not segfault when from_json/decode gets passed
159 a non-string object (reported by Florian Ragwitz).
160 This has no effect on normal operation.
161
1621.0 Thu Mar 29 04:43:34 CEST 2007
163 - the long awaited (by me) 1.0 version.
164 - add \0 (JSON::XS::false) and \1 (JSON::XS::true) mappings to JSON
165 true and false.
166 - add some more notes to shrink, as suggested by Alex Efros.
167 - improve testsuite.
168 - halve the default nesting depth limit, to hopefully make it
169 work on Freebsd (unfortunately, the cpan tester did not
170 send me his report, so I cannot ask about the stack limit on fbsd).
171
1720.8 Mon Mar 26 00:10:48 CEST 2007
173 - fix a memleak when decoding hashes.
174 - export jsonToBj and objToJson as aliases
175 to to_json and from_json, to reduce incompatibilities
176 between JSON/JSON::PC and JSON::XS. (experimental).
177 - implement a maximum nesting depth for both en- and de-coding.
178 - added a security considerations sections.
179
1800.7 Sun Mar 25 01:46:30 CET 2007
181 - code cleanup.
182 - fix a memory overflow bug when indenting.
183 - pretty-printing now up to 15% faster.
184 - improve decoding speed of strings by
185 up to 50% by specialcasing short strings.
186 - further decoding speedups for strings using
187 lots of \u escapes.
188 - improve utf8 decoding speed for U+80 .. U+7FF.
189
1900.5 Sat Mar 24 20:41:51 CET 2007
191 - added the UTF-16 encoding example hinted at in previous
192 versions.
193 - minor documentation fixes.
194 - fix a bug in and optimise canonicalising fastpath
195 (reported by Craig Manley).
196 - remove a subtest that breaks with bleadperl (reported
197 by Andreas König).
198
1990.31 Sat Mar 24 02:14:34 CET 2007
200 - documentation updates.
201 - do some casting to hopefully fix Andreas' problem.
202 - nuke bogus json rpc stuff.
203
2040.3 Fri Mar 23 19:33:21 CET 2007
4 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara). 205 - remove spurious PApp::Util reference (John McNamara).
5 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules 206 - adapted lots of tests from other json modules
6 (idea by Chris Carline). 207 (idea by Chris Carline).
208 - documented mapping from json to perl and vice versa.
209 - improved the documentation by adding more examples.
7 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created 210 - added short escaping forms, reducing the created
8 json texts a bit. 211 json texts a bit.
9 - added shrink flag. 212 - added shrink flag.
10 - when flag methods are called without enable argument 213 - when flag methods are called without enable argument
11 they will by default enable their flag. 214 they will by default enable their flag.
12 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least 215 - considerably improved string encoding speed (at least
13 with gcc 4). 216 with gcc 4).
217 - added a test that covers lots of different characters.
218 - clarified some error messages.
219 - error messages now use correct character offset
220 with F_UTF8.
221 - improve the "no bytes" and "no warnings" hacks in
222 case the called functions do... stuff.
223 - croak when encoding to ascii and an out-of-range
224 (non-unicode) codepoint is encountered.
