4  * Address security issues:
5    * CVE-2013-6371: hash collision denial of service
6    * CVE-2013-6370: buffer overflow if size_t is larger than int
7
8  * Avoid potential overflow in json_object_get_double
9
10  * Eliminate the mc_abort() function and MC_ABORT macro.
11
12  * Make the json_tokener_errors array local.  It has been deprecated for
13     a while, and json_tokener_error_desc() should be used instead.
14
15  * change the floating point output format to %.17g so values with 
16     more than 6 digits show up in the output.
17
18  * Remove the old libjson.so name compatibility support.  The library is
19      only created as libjson-c.so now and headers are only installed 
20      into the ${prefix}/json-c directory.
21
22  * When supported by the linker, add the -Bsymbolic-functions flag.
23
24  * Various changes to fix the build on MSVC.
25
26  * Make strict mode more strict:
27    * number must not start with 0
28    * no single-quote strings
29    * no comments
30    * trailing char not allowed
31    * only allow lowercase literals
32
33  * Added a json_object_new_double_s() convenience function to allow
34    an exact string representation of a double to be specified when
35    creating the object and use it in json_tokener_parse_ex() so
36    a re-serialized object more exactly matches the input.
37
38  * Add support NaN and Infinity
39
40
410.11
42
43  * IMPORTANT: the name of the library has changed to libjson-c.so and
44     the header files are now in include/json-c.
45     The pkgconfig name has also changed from json to json-c.
46     You should change your build to use appropriate -I and -l options.
47     A compatibility shim is in place so builds using the old name will
48     continue to work, but that will be removed in the next release.
49  * Maximum recursion depth is now a runtime option.
50     json_tokener_new() is provided for compatibility.
51     json_tokener_new_ex(depth)
52  * Include json_object_iterator.h in the installed headers.
53  * Add support for building on Android.
54  * Rewrite json_object_object_add to replace just the value if the key already exists so keys remain valid.
55  * Make it safe to delete keys while iterating with the json_object_object_foreach macro.
56  * Add a json_set_serializer() function to allow the string output of a json_object to be customized.
57  * Make float parsing locale independent.
58  * Add a json_tokener_set_flags() function and a JSON_TOKENER_STRICT flag.
59  * Enable -Werror when building.
60  * speed improvements to parsing 64-bit integers on systems with working sscanf
61  * Add a json_object_object_length function.
62  * Fix a bug (buffer overrun) when expanding arrays to more than 64 entries.
63
640.10
65
66  * Add a json_object_to_json_string_ext() function to allow output to be
67     formatted in a more human readable form.
68  * Add json_object_object_get_ex(), a NULL-safe get object method, to be able
69     to distinguish between a key not present and the value being NULL.
70  * Add an alternative iterator implementation, see json_object_iterator.h
71  * Make json_object_iter public to enable external use of the
72     json_object_object_foreachC macro.
73  * Add a printbuf_memset() function to provide an effecient way to set and
74     append things like whitespace indentation.
75  * Adjust json_object_is_type and json_object_get_type so they return
76      json_type_null for NULL objects and handle NULL passed to
77      json_objct_object_get().
78  * Rename boolean type to json_bool.
79  * Fix various compile issues for Visual Studio and MinGW.
80  * Allow json_tokener_parse_ex() to be re-used to parse multiple object.
81     Also, fix some parsing issues with capitalized hexadecimal numbers and
82     number in E notation.
83  * Add json_tokener_get_error() and json_tokener_error_desc() to better 
84     encapsulate the process of retrieving errors while parsing.
85  * Various improvements to the documentation of many functions.
86  * Add new json_object_array_sort() function.
87  * Fix a bug in json_object_get_int(), which would incorrectly return 0
88    when called on a string type object.
89    Eric Haszlakiewicz
90  * Add a json_type_to_name() function.
91    Eric Haszlakiewicz
92  * Add a json_tokener_parse_verbose() function.
93    Jehiah Czebotar
94  * Improve support for null bytes within JSON strings.
95    Jehiah Czebotar
96  * Fix file descriptor leak if memory allocation fails in json_util
97    Zachary Blair, zack_blair at hotmail dot com
98  * Add int64 support. Two new functions json_object_net_int64 and
99    json_object_get_int64. Binary compatibility preserved.
