Next version, 0.14
==================
Deprecated and removed features:
--------------------------------
* bits.h has been removed
* lh_abort() has been removed
* lh_table_lookup() has been removed, use lh_table_lookup_ex() instead.
* Remove TRUE and FALSE defines, use 1 and 0 instead.
Build changes:
--------------
0.13.1 (up to commit 0f814e5, 2018/03/04)
=========================================
* Bump the major version of the .so library generated up to 4.0 to avoid
conflicts because some downstream packagers of json-c had already done
their own bump to ".so.3" for a much older 0.12 release.
* Add const size_t json_c_object_sizeof()
* Avoid invalid free (and thus a segfault) when ref_count gets < 0
* PR#394: fix handling of custom double formats that include a ".0"
* Avoid uninitialized variable warnings in json_object_object_foreach
* Issue #396: fix build for certain uClibc based systems.
* Add a top level fuzz directory for fuzzers run by OSS-Fuzz
0.13 (up to commit 5dae561, 2017/11/29)
=================================
This release, being three and a half years after the 0.12 branch (f84d9c),
has quite a number of changes included. The following is a sampling of
the most significant ones.
Since the 0.12 release, 250 issues and pull requests have been closed.
See issues_closed_for_0.13.md for a complete list.
Deprecated and removed features:
--------------------------------
* All internal use of bits.h has been eliminated. The file will be removed.
Do not use: hexdigit(), error_ptr(), error_descrition() and it_error()
* lh_abort() is deprecated. It will be removed.
Behavior changes:
-----------------
* Tighten the number parsing algorithm to raise errors instead of truncating
the results. For example 12.3.4 or 2015-01-15, which now return null.
See commit 99d8fc
* Use size_t for array length and size. Platforms where sizeof(size_t) != sizeof(int) may not be backwards compatible
See commits 45c56b, 92e9a5 and others.
* Check for failue when allocating memory, returning NULL and errno=ENOMEM.
See commit 2149a04.
* Change json_object_object_add() return type from void to int, and will return -1 on failures, instead of exiting. (Note: this is not an ABI change)
New features:
-------------
* We're aiming to follow RFC 7159 now.
* Add a couple of additional option to json_object_to_json_string_ext:
JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY_TAB
JSON_C_TO_STRING_NOSLASHESCAPE
* Add a json_object_object_add_ex() function to allow for performance
improvements when certain constraints are known to be true.
* Make serialization format of doubles configurable, in two different ways:
Call json_object_set_serializer with json_object_double_to_json_string and a custom
format on each double object, or
Call json_c_set_serialization_double_format() to set a global or thread-wide format.
* Add utility function for comparing json_objects - json_object_equal()
* Add a way to copy entire object trees: json_object_deep_copy()
* Add json_object_set_<type> function to modify the value of existing json_object's
without the need to recreate them. Also add a json_object_int_inc function to
adjust an int's value.
* Add support for JSON pointer, RFC 6901. See json_pointer.h
* Add a json_util_get_last_err() function to retrieve the string describing the
cause of errors, instead of printing to stderr.
* Add perllike hash function for strings, and json_global_set_string_hash() 8f8d03d
* Add a json_c_visit() function to provide a way to iterate over a tree of json-c objects.
Notable bug fixes and other improvements:
-----------------------------------------
* Make reference increment and decrement atomic to allow passing json objects between threads.
* Fix json_object_object_foreach to avoid uninitialized variable warnings.
* Improve performance by removing unneeded data items from hashtable code and reducing duplicate hash computation.
* Improve performance by storing small strings inside json_object
* Improve performance of json_object_to_json_string by removing variadic printf. commit 9ff0f49
* Issue #371: fix parsing of "-Infinity", and avoid needlessly copying the input when doing so.
* Fix stack buffer overflow in json_object_double_to_json_string_format() - commit 2c2deb87
* Fix various potential null ptr deref and int32 overflows
* Issue #332: fix a long-standing bug in array_list_put_idx() where it would attempt to free previously free'd entries due to not checking the current array length.
* Issue #195: use uselocale() instead of setlocale() in json_tokener to behave better in threaded environments.
* Issue #275: fix out of bounds read when handling unicode surrogate pairs.
* Ensure doubles that happen to be a whole number are emitted with ".0" - commit ca7a19
* PR#331: for Visual Studio, use a snprintf/vsnprintf wrapper that ensures the string is terminated.
* Fix double to int cast overflow in json_object_get_int64.
* Clamp double to int32 when narrowing in json_object_get_int.
* Use strtoll() to parse ints - instead of sscanf
* Miscellaneous smaller changes, including removing unused variables, fixing warning
about uninitialized variables adding const qualifiers, reformatting code, etc...
Build changes:
--------------
* Add Appveyor and Travis build support
* Switch to using CMake when building on Windows with Visual Studio.
A dynamic .dll is generated instead of a .lib
config.h is now generated, config.h.win32 should no longer be manually copied
* Add support for MacOS through CMake too.
* Enable silent build by default
* Link against libm when needed
* Add support for building with AddressSanitizer
* Add support for building with Clang
* Add a --enable-threading configure option, and only use the (slower) __sync_add_and_fetch()/__sync_sub_and_fetch() function when it is specified.

0.12.1
======
* Minimal changes to address compile issues.
0.12
====
* Address security issues:
* CVE-2013-6371: hash collision denial of service
* CVE-2013-6370: buffer overflow if size_t is larger than int
* Avoid potential overflow in json_object_get_double
* Eliminate the mc_abort() function and MC_ABORT macro.
* Make the json_tokener_errors array local. It has been deprecated for
a while, and json_tokener_error_desc() should be used instead.
* change the floating point output format to %.17g so values with
more than 6 digits show up in the output.
* Remove the old libjson.so name compatibility support. The library is
only created as libjson-c.so now and headers are only installed
into the ${prefix}/json-c directory.
* When supported by the linker, add the -Bsymbolic-functions flag.
* Various changes to fix the build on MSVC.
* Make strict mode more strict:
* number must not start with 0
* no single-quote strings
* no comments
* trailing char not allowed
* only allow lowercase literals
* Added a json_object_new_double_s() convenience function to allow
an exact string representation of a double to be specified when
creating the object and use it in json_tokener_parse_ex() so
a re-serialized object more exactly matches the input.
* Add support NaN and Infinity
0.11
====
* IMPORTANT: the name of the library has changed to libjson-c.so and
the header files are now in include/json-c.
The pkgconfig name has also changed from json to json-c.
You should change your build to use appropriate -I and -l options.
A compatibility shim is in place so builds using the old name will
continue to work, but that will be removed in the next release.
* Maximum recursion depth is now a runtime option.
json_tokener_new() is provided for compatibility.
json_tokener_new_ex(depth)
* Include json_object_iterator.h in the installed headers.
* Add support for building on Android.
* Rewrite json_object_object_add to replace just the value if the key already exists so keys remain valid.
* Make it safe to delete keys while iterating with the json_object_object_foreach macro.
* Add a json_set_serializer() function to allow the string output of a json_object to be customized.
* Make float parsing locale independent.
* Add a json_tokener_set_flags() function and a JSON_TOKENER_STRICT flag.
* Enable -Werror when building.
* speed improvements to parsing 64-bit integers on systems with working sscanf
* Add a json_object_object_length function.
* Fix a bug (buffer overrun) when expanding arrays to more than 64 entries.
0.10
====
* Add a json_object_to_json_string_ext() function to allow output to be
formatted in a more human readable form.
* Add json_object_object_get_ex(), a NULL-safe get object method, to be able
to distinguish between a key not present and the value being NULL.
* Add an alternative iterator implementation, see json_object_iterator.h
* Make json_object_iter public to enable external use of the
json_object_object_foreachC macro.
* Add a printbuf_memset() function to provide an effecient way to set and
append things like whitespace indentation.
* Adjust json_object_is_type and json_object_get_type so they return
json_type_null for NULL objects and handle NULL passed to
json_objct_object_get().
* Rename boolean type to json_bool.
* Fix various compile issues for Visual Studio and MinGW.
* Allow json_tokener_parse_ex() to be re-used to parse multiple object.
Also, fix some parsing issues with capitalized hexadecimal numbers and
number in E notation.
* Add json_tokener_get_error() and json_tokener_error_desc() to better
encapsulate the process of retrieving errors while parsing.
* Various improvements to the documentation of many functions.
* Add new json_object_array_sort() function.
* Fix a bug in json_object_get_int(), which would incorrectly return 0
when called on a string type object.
Eric Haszlakiewicz
* Add a json_type_to_name() function.
Eric Haszlakiewicz
* Add a json_tokener_parse_verbose() function.
Jehiah Czebotar
* Improve support for null bytes within JSON strings.
Jehiah Czebotar
* Fix file descriptor leak if memory allocation fails in json_util
Zachary Blair, zack_blair at hotmail dot com
* Add int64 support. Two new functions json_object_net_int64 and
json_object_get_int64. Binary compatibility preserved.
