0.99.4 2016-08-03
- fix tautology comparison in tautology in `fjson_object_iter_equal`
  Thanks to Andres Stieger for the patch
- improve build system to handle slightly older autoconf versions
- fix build problems with gcc6
  Thanks to Andres Stieger for the patch

0.99.3 2016-07-11
- new dependency: autoconf-archive
- exit() is no longer called in unexpected situations
  The previous code called exit on some occasions and did not
  give the caller a chance to do any cleanup or handling on
  it's own. This has completely been removed. Note that it was
  very unlikely that this problem affected a caller, as exit()
  was only called under very rare circumstances (e.g. OOM).
- fjson_version now returns configure VERSION
  This avoid inconsistency.
- removal of Windows and Android bits
  Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch.
- fixes of the build system
  Thanks to Michael Biebl for the patch.
- dropped support for Windows and Android as we do not target
  these platforms
- "make distcheck" now works
- fix invalid Unicode representation for some non US-ASCII
  characters when printed as string. Note that this could
  potentially also lead to a segfault

0.99.2 2016-03-07
- new API: json_object_get_member_count()
- make comaptible with autoconf < 2.64

0.99.1
was never released, but version number has accidently been used by
some Adiscon packages. In order to prevent confusion, we have
decided not to use this version number for any official version.

0.99.0 2015-12-22
- bugfix: reference counting was not thread-safe

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

    were filled then successively freed.
