ChangeLog - LeafOS-Project/android_external_json-c - Gitiles


 NEXT.VERSION

   ...nothing yet...

 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.
     Eric Haszlakiewicz, EHASZLA at transunion com
     Rui Miguel Silva Seabra, rms at 1407 dot org
