--------------
## 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.
* autoconf support, including autogen.sh, has been removed. See details about \
cmake, below.
* With the addition of json_tokener_get_parse_end(), access to internal fields \
of json_tokener, as well as use of many other symbols and types in \
json_tokener.h, is deprecated now.
* The use of Android.configure.mk to build for Android no longer works, and it \
is unknown how (or if) the new cmake-based build machinery can be used.
* Reports of success, or pull requests to correct issues are welcome.
## Notable improvements and new features
### Builds and documentation
* Build machinery has been switched to CMake. See README.md for details about \
how to build.
* TL;DR: `mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/some/path \
../json-c ; make all test install`
* To ease the transition, there is a `cmake-configure` wrapper that emulates \
the old autoconf-based configure script.
* This has enabled improvements to the build on Windows system; also all \
public functions have been fixed to be properly exported. For best results, use \
Visual Studio 2015 or newer.
* The json-c style guide has been updated to specify the use of clang-format, \
and all code has been reformatted.
* Since many lines of code have trivial changes now, when using git blame, \
be sure to specify -w
* Numerous improvements have been made to the documentation including function \
effects on refcounts, when passing a NULL is safe, and so on.
### json_tokener changes
* Added a json_tokener_get_parse_end() function to replace direct access of \
tok->char_offset.
* The char_offset field, and the rest of the json_tokener structure remain \
exposed for now, but expect a future release to hide it like is done with \
json_object_private.h
* json_tokener_parse_ex() now accepts a new JSON_TOKENER_VALIDATE_UTF8 flag to \
validate that input is UTF8.
* If validation fails, json_tokener_get_error(tok) will return \
json_tokener_error_parse_utf8_string (see enum json_tokener_error).
### Other changes and additions
* Add support for unsigned 64-bit integers, uint64_t, to gain one extra bit of \
magnitude for positive ints.
* json_tokener will now parse values up to UINT64_MAX (18446744073709551615)
* Existing methods returning int32_t or int64_t will cap out-of-range values \
at INT32_MAX or INT64_MAX, preserving existing behavior.
* The implementation includes the possibility of easily extending this to \
larger sizes in the future.
* A total of 7 new functions were added:
* json_object_get_uint64 ( struct json_object const* jso )
* json_object_new_uint64 ( uint64_t i )
* json_object_set_uint64 ( struct json_object* jso, uint64_t new_value )
* json_parse_uint64 ( char const* buf, uint64_t* retval )
* See description of uint64 support, above.
* json_tokener_get_parse_end ( struct json_tokener* tok )
* See details under "json_tokener changes", above.
* json_object_from_fd_ex ( int fd, int in_depth )
* Allows the max nesting depth to be specified.
* json_object_new_null ( )
* Simply returns NULL. Its use is not recommended.
* The size of struct json_object has decreased from 96 bytes to 88 bytes.
### Testing
* Many updates were made to test cases, increasing code coverage.
* There is now a quick way (JSONC_TEST_TRACE=1) to turn on shell tracing in tests.
* To run tests, use `make test`; the old "check" target no longer exists.
## Significant bug fixes
For the full list of issues and pull requests since the previous release, please \
see issues_closed_for_0.14.md
* [Issue #389](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/389): Add an assert to \
explicitly crash when _ref_count is corrupted, instead of a later "double \
free" error.
* [Issue #407](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/407): fix incorrect casts \
in calls to ctype functions (isdigit and isspace) so we don't crash when asserts \
are enabled on certain platforms and characters > 128 are parsed.
* [Issue #418](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/418): Fix docs for \
json_util_from_fd and json_util_from_file to say that they return NULL on \
failures.
* [Issue #422](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/422): json_object.c:set \
errno in json_object_get_double() when called on a json_type_string object with \
bad content.
* [Issue #453](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/453): Fixed misalignment \
in JSON serialization when JSON_C_TO_STRING_SPACED and JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY \
are used together.
* [Issue #463](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/463): fix newlocale() \
call to use LC_NUMERIC_MASK instead of LC_NUMERIC, and remove incorrect comment.
* [Issue #486](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/486): append a missing \
".0" to negative double values to ensure they are serialized as \
floating point numbers.
* [Issue #488](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/488): use JSON_EXPORT on \
functions so they are properly exported on Windows.
* [Issue #539](https://github.com/json-c/json-c/issues/539): use an \
internal-only serializer function in json_object_new_double_s() to avoid \
potential conflicts with user code that uses the \
json_object_userdata_to_json_string serializer.
