Version 2.0 (in development)
============================
This release is backwards incompatible with the 1.x release series.
See the documentation for instructions on how to port existing code to
Jansson 2.0.
* 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 32 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 complex
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.
- Report the error context for UTF-8 decoding errors in the decoder.
- Add preprocessor constants that define the library version.
- Add API for setting custom memory allocation functions:
`json_set_alloc_funcs()`.
* 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.
