In general thanks to the entire Python community for providing such a wonderful language. Thanks also to the folks at json.org for developing the JSON data format and pursuing an RFC standard for it. Reported bugs: * Adam Braun -- reported bug in 1.0 release regarding newlines being rejected during decoding if at the beginning of the input. * Nicolas Bonardelle -- reported bug in 1.1 release where the wrong kind of exception could be raised by encode_default(). * Tom Kho and Yanxin Shi -- independently reported bug in the 1.4 release, that when encoding Python strings to JSON, occurances of character U+00FF (ASCII 255 or 0xFF) may result in an error. * Brian Bloniarz -- reported a bug in 1.5 for the jsonlint command where it could not properly accept and parse from standard input (stdin).
