60.12
7
8  * Address security issues:
9    * CVE-2013-6371: hash collision denial of service
10    * CVE-2013-6370: buffer overflow if size_t is larger than int
11
12  * Avoid potential overflow in json_object_get_double
13
14  * Eliminate the mc_abort() function and MC_ABORT macro.
15
16  * Make the json_tokener_errors array local.  It has been deprecated for
17     a while, and json_tokener_error_desc() should be used instead.
18
19  * change the floating point output format to %.17g so values with
20     more than 6 digits show up in the output.
21
22  * Remove the old libjson.so name compatibility support.  The library is
23      only created as libjson-c.so now and headers are only installed
24      into the ${prefix}/json-c directory.
25
26  * When supported by the linker, add the -Bsymbolic-functions flag.
27
28  * Various changes to fix the build on MSVC.
29
30  * Make strict mode more strict:
31    * number must not start with 0
32    * no single-quote strings
33    * no comments
34    * trailing char not allowed
35    * only allow lowercase literals
36
37  * Added a json_object_new_double_s() convenience function to allow
38    an exact string representation of a double to be specified when
39    creating the object and use it in json_tokener_parse_ex() so
40    a re-serialized object more exactly matches the input.
41
42  * Add support NaN and Infinity
43
44
450.11
46
47  * IMPORTANT: the name of the library has changed to libjson-c.so and
48     the header files are now in include/json-c.
49     The pkgconfig name has also changed from json to json-c.
50     You should change your build to use appropriate -I and -l options.
51     A compatibility shim is in place so builds using the old name will
52     continue to work, but that will be removed in the next release.
53  * Maximum recursion depth is now a runtime option.
54     json_tokener_new() is provided for compatibility.
55     json_tokener_new_ex(depth)
56  * Include json_object_iterator.h in the installed headers.
57  * Add support for building on Android.
58  * Rewrite json_object_object_add to replace just the value if the key already exists so keys remain valid.
59  * Make it safe to delete keys while iterating with the json_object_object_foreach macro.
60  * Add a json_set_serializer() function to allow the string output of a json_object to be customized.
61  * Make float parsing locale independent.
62  * Add a json_tokener_set_flags() function and a JSON_TOKENER_STRICT flag.
63  * Enable -Werror when building.
64  * speed improvements to parsing 64-bit integers on systems with working sscanf
65  * Add a json_object_object_length function.
66  * Fix a bug (buffer overrun) when expanding arrays to more than 64 entries.
67
680.10
69
70  * Add a json_object_to_json_string_ext() function to allow output to be
71     formatted in a more human readable form.
72  * Add json_object_object_get_ex(), a NULL-safe get object method, to be able
73     to distinguish between a key not present and the value being NULL.
74  * Add an alternative iterator implementation, see json_object_iterator.h
75  * Make json_object_iter public to enable external use of the
76     json_object_object_foreachC macro.
77  * Add a printbuf_memset() function to provide an effecient way to set and
78     append things like whitespace indentation.
79  * Adjust json_object_is_type and json_object_get_type so they return
80      json_type_null for NULL objects and handle NULL passed to
81      json_objct_object_get().
82  * Rename boolean type to json_bool.
83  * Fix various compile issues for Visual Studio and MinGW.
84  * Allow json_tokener_parse_ex() to be re-used to parse multiple object.
85     Also, fix some parsing issues with capitalized hexadecimal numbers and
86     number in E notation.
87  * Add json_tokener_get_error() and json_tokener_error_desc() to better
88     encapsulate the process of retrieving errors while parsing.
89  * Various improvements to the documentation of many functions.
90  * Add new json_object_array_sort() function.
91  * Fix a bug in json_object_get_int(), which would incorrectly return 0
92    when called on a string type object.
93    Eric Haszlakiewicz
94  * Add a json_type_to_name() function.
95    Eric Haszlakiewicz
96  * Add a json_tokener_parse_verbose() function.
97    Jehiah Czebotar
98  * Improve support for null bytes within JSON strings.
99    Jehiah Czebotar
100  * Fix file descriptor leak if memory allocation fails in json_util
101    Zachary Blair, zack_blair at hotmail dot com
102  * Add int64 support. Two new functions json_object_net_int64 and
103    json_object_get_int64. Binary compatibility preserved.
