    path (#209).

  - Add a build-time option to set initial hashtable size (#213).

  - Use snprintf and strncpy in place of sprintf and strcpy to silence
    linker warnings on OpenBSD (#233).

  - Fix build on MSVC >= 1900 (#262).

* Documentation:

    unpacking the string length along with the string itself (#141).

  - Add length-aware string constructors `json_stringn()` and
    `json_stringn_nocheck()`, length-aware string mutators
    `json_string_setn()` and `json_string_setn_nocheck()`, and a
    function for getting string's length `json_string_length()` (#141,

Version 2.6
===========

Released 2014-02-11

* Security:

  - CVE-2013-6401: The hash function used by the hashtable
    implementation has been changed, and is automatically seeded with
    random data when the first JSON object is created. This prevents
    an attacker from causing large JSON objects with specially crafted
    keys perform poorly.

    (#118).

* Bug fixes:

  - `json_dumps()` and friends: Don't crash if json is *NULL* and
    ``JSON_ENCODE_ANY`` is set.

  - Fix a theoretical integer overflow in `jsonp_strdup()`.

  - Fix `l_isxdigit()` macro (#97).

  - Fix an off-by-one error in `json_array_remove()`.

* Build:

  - Support CMake in addition to GNU Autotools (#106, #107, #112,
    #115, #120, #127).

  - Support building for Android (#109).

  - Don't use ``-Werror`` by default.

  - Add `json_load_callback()` that calls a callback function
    repeatedly to read the JSON input (#57).

  - Add JSON_ESCAPE_SLASH encoding flag to escape all occurences of
    ``/`` with ``\/``.

    ``JSON_DISABLE_EOF_CHECK``.

  - Add support for decoding any JSON value, not just arrays or
    objects. The support is enabled with the new ``JSON_DECODE_ANY``
    flag. Patch by Andrea Marchesini. (#4)

Version 2.0
===========

Released 2011-02-28

This release is backwards incompatible with the 1.x release series.
See the chapter "Upgrading from older versions" in documentation for
details.

* Backwards incompatible changes:

  - Unify unsigned integer usage in the API: All occurences of
    unsigned int and unsigned long have been replaced with size_t.

  - Change JSON integer's underlying type to the widest signed integer
    type available, i.e. long long if it's supported, otherwise long.
    Add a typedef json_int_t that defines the type.

  - Change the maximum indentation depth to 31 spaces in encoder. This
    frees up bits from the flags parameter of encoding functions
    `json_dumpf()`, `json_dumps()` and `json_dump_file()`.

  - For future needs, add a flags parameter to all decoding functions
    `json_loadf()`, `json_loads()` and `json_load_file()`.

* New features

  - `json_pack()`, `json_pack_ex()`, `json_vpack_ex()`: Create JSON
    values based on a format string.

  - `json_unpack()`, `json_unpack_ex()`, `json_vunpack_ex()`: Simple
    value extraction and validation functionality based on a format
    string.

  - Add column, position and source fields to the ``json_error_t``
    struct.

  - Enhance error reporting in the decoder.

  - ``JANSSON_VERSION`` et al.: Preprocessor constants that define the
    library version.

  - `json_set_alloc_funcs()`: Set custom memory allocation functions.

* Fix many portability issues, especially on Windows.

* Configuration

  - Add file ``jansson_config.h`` that contains site specific
    configuration. It's created automatically by the configure script,
    or can be created by hand if the configure script cannot be used.
    The file ``jansson_config.h.win32`` can be used without
    modifications on Windows systems.

  - Add a section to documentation describing how to build Jansson on
    Windows.

  - Documentation now requires Sphinx 1.0 or newer.


Version 1.3
===========

Released 2010-06-13

* New functions:

  - `json_object_iter_set()`, `json_object_iter_set_new()`: Change
    object contents while iterating over it.

  - `json_object_iter_at()`: Return an iterator that points to a
    specific object item.

* New encoding flags:

  - ``JSON_PRESERVE_ORDER``: Preserve the insertion order of object
    keys.

* Bug fixes:

  - Fix an error that occured when an array or object was first
    encoded as empty, then populated with some data, and then
    re-encoded

  - Fix the situation like above, but when the first encoding resulted
    in an error

* Documentation:

  - Clarify the documentation on reference stealing, providing an
    example usage pattern

  - Require Autoconf 2.60 (for ``int32_t``)

* Tests:

  - Print test names correctly when ``VERBOSE=1``
  - ``test/suites/api``: Fail when a test fails
  - Enhance tests for iterators
  - Enhance tests for decoding texts that contain null bytes

* Documentation:

  - Don't remove ``changes.rst`` in ``make clean``
  - Add a chapter on RFC conformance


Version 1.2
===========

Released 2010-01-21

* New functions:

  - `json_equal()`: Test whether two JSON values are equal
  - `json_copy()` and `json_deep_copy()`: Make shallow and deep copies
    of JSON values
  - Add a version of all functions taking a string argument that
    doesn't check for valid UTF-8: `json_string_nocheck()`,
    `json_string_set_nocheck()`, `json_object_set_nocheck()`,
    `json_object_set_new_nocheck()`

* New encoding flags:

  - ``JSON_SORT_KEYS``: Sort objects by key
  - ``JSON_ENSURE_ASCII``: Escape all non-ASCII Unicode characters
  - ``JSON_COMPACT``: Use a compact representation with all unneeded
    whitespace stripped

    array and object items, never append newline to output.
  - Remove const qualifier from the ``json_t`` parameter in
    `json_string_set()`, `json_integer_set()` and `json_real_set`.
  - Use ``int32_t`` internally for representing Unicode code points
    (int is not enough on all platforms)

* Other changes:

  - Convert ``CHANGES`` (this file) to reStructured text and add it to
    HTML documentation
  - The test system has been refactored. Python is no longer required
    to run the tests.
  - Documentation can now be built by invoking ``make html``
  - Support for pkg-config
