      6 0.12
      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 
     45 0.11
     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 
     68 0.10
     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

    102   * Add int64 support. Two new functions json_object_net_int64 and
    103     json_object_get_int64. Binary compatibility preserved.
