1 Revision history for JSON-MaybeXS
4 - document when is_bool became available
5 - now favouring Cpanel::JSON::XS over JSON::XS in more situations (the former
6 is always added to prereqs when a compiler is available, although JSON::XS
7 is still used at runtime if new enough and Cpanel::JSON::XS is not
8 installed). This makes boolean handling more predictable and consistent.
11 - added true and false subs so they can be used via JSON::MaybeXS rather than
12 only JSON() exported sub.
15 - use bundled ExtUtils::HasCompiler rather than ExtUtils::CBuilder to detect
16 compiler availability.
17 - clarify exported JSON in documentation
20 - fix tests to no longer rely on . being in @INC (RT#120404)
23 - added an INSTALLATION section to documentation, to clarify the use of
24 dynamic prerequisites in Makefile.PL
25 - minimize prereqs listed in META.json to avoid giving the appearance of XS
26 prerequisites, and confusing static inspection tools such as metacpan.org.
29 - no changes since 1.003006_001
31 1.003006_001 - 2016-06-28
32 - bump prereq on JSON::PP, to ensure we get the fix for parsing utf8-encoded
33 values (in JSON::PP 2.27300)
34 - we now always upgrade JSON::XS if it is installed and below version 3.0,
35 due to changes in handling booleans
36 - remove test dependency on Test::Without::Module (RT#115394)
39 - fix x_contributors metadata that was killing metacpan (see
40 https://github.com/CPAN-API/cpan-api/issues/401)
43 - caveat added to documentation about type checking the object returned by
44 new() (John SJ Anderson, RT#102733)
47 - ensure an old Cpanel::JSON::XS is upgraded if it is too old, as it will
48 always be used in preference to JSON::XS
49 - avoid "JSON::XS::Boolean::* redefined" warnings caused by an old JSON::XS
50 loaded at the same time as a newer Cpanel::JSON::XS
53 - correctly fix boolean interoperability with older Cpanel::JSON::MaybeXS
56 - fix boolean interoperability with older Cpanel::JSON::MaybeXS
58 1.003_000 - 2014-10-30
59 - add :legacy tag to support legacy apps
62 - add some additional test diagnostics, to help find bad version combinations
66 - fix "can I haz XS?" logic precedence in Makefile.PL
67 - added the ':all' export tag
68 - removed dependency on Safe::Isa
69 - repository moved to git://git.shadowcat.co.uk/p5sagit/JSON-MaybeXS.git
72 - support use of PUREPERL_ONLY in Makefile.PL to avoid adding an XS
74 - new is_bool() interface
77 - document how to use booleans
80 - more metadata fiddling, to remove the Cpanel::JSON::XS dependency visible
81 to static analyzers (the prequisites at install time remain unchanged)
84 - fix installation on older perls with an older ExtUtils::MakeMaker
88 - Now also supports JSON::XS, when available: Cpanel::JSON::XS will only be
89 installed when there is no XS backend already installed; Cpanel::JSON::XS
90 will be used over JSON::XS when both are installed.
93 - Add a constructor for people who want to forget how silly the JSON API is
96 - Released on an unsuspecting world.
