New in JsonCpp 0.6.0:
---------------------
* Compilation
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables are now
propagated to the build environment as this is required for some
compiler installation.
- Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (bug #2930462):
The platform "msvc90" has been added.
Notes: you need to setup the environment by running vcvars32.bat
(e.g. MSVC 2008 command prompt in start menu) before running scons.
* Value
- Removed experimental ValueAllocator, it caused static
initialization/destruction order issues (bug #2934500).
The DefaultValueAllocator has been inlined in code.
- Added support for 64 bits integer:
Types Json::Int64 and Json::UInt64 have been added. They are aliased
to 64 bits integers on system that support them (based on __int64 on
Microsoft Visual Studio platform, and long long on other platforms).
Types Json::LargestInt and Json::LargestUInt have been added. They are
aliased to the largest integer type supported:
either Json::Int/Json::UInt or Json::Int64/Json::UInt64 respectively.
Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() still returns plain
"int" based types, but asserts if an attempt is made to retrieve
a 64 bits value that can not represented as the return type.
Json::Value::asInt64() and Json::Value::asUInt64() have been added
to obtain the 64 bits integer value.
Json::Value::asLargestInt() and Json::Value::asLargestUInt() returns
the integer as a LargestInt/LargestUInt respectively. Those functions
functions are typically used when implementing writer.
The reader attempts to read number as 64 bits integer, and fall back
to reading a double if the number is not in the range of 64 bits
integer.
Warning: Json::Value::asInt() and Json::Value::asUInt() now returns
long long. This changes break code that was passing the return value
to *printf() function.
Support for 64 bits integer can be disabled by defining the macro
JSON_NO_INT64 (uncomment it in json/config.h for example), though
it should have no impact on existing usage.
- The type Json::ArrayIndex is used for indexes of a JSON value array. It
is an unsigned int (typically 32 bits).
- Array index can be passed as int to operator[], allowing use of literal:
Json::Value array;
array.append( 1234 );
int value = array[0].asInt(); // did not compile previously
- Added float Json::Value::asFloat() to obtain a floating point value as a
float (avoid lost of precision warning caused by used of asDouble()
to initialize a float).
* Reader
- Renamed Reader::getFormatedErrorMessages() to getFormattedErrorMessages.
Bug #3023708 (Formatted has 2 't'). The old member function is deprecated
but still present for backward compatibility.
* Tests
- Added test to ensure that the escape sequence "\/" is corrected handled
by the parser.
* Bug fixes
- Bug #3139677: JSON [1 2 3] was incorrectly parsed as [1, 3]. Error is now
correctly detected.
- Bug #3139678: stack buffer overflow when parsing a double with a
length of 32 characters.
* License
- See file LICENSE for details. Basically JsonCpp is now licensed under
MIT license, or public domain if desired and recognized in your jurisdiction.
Thanks to Stephan G. Beal [http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/]) who
helped figuring out the solution to the public domain issue.
