        - fix heap overflow causing crashes, possibly information
          disclosure or worse (CVE-2025-40928), and causes JSON::XS to
          accept invalid JSON texts as valid in some cases. Thanks to
          Michael Hudak for finding this, the CPAN Security Group for
          coordinating this, and Reini Urban for double-checking the patch
          (and Peter Juhasz for potentially reporting this much earlier).

4.03 Tue Oct 27 19:05:01 CET 2020
	- when parsing comments in relaxed mode, JSON::XS would detect garbage
          after the JSON text if the comment is after the end and does not end in
          a newline (reported by Felipe Gasper).

4.02 Wed Mar  6 08:31:24 CET 2019
	- undo the fix from 4.01, it breaks more things than it fixes
          (another testcase by Wesley Schwengle).
        - try a proper fix this time.

4.01 Sun Feb 24 05:03:30 CET 2019
	- fix some stack corruption caused mostly when calling methods
          in list context (testcase by Wesley Schwengle).

4.0  Fri Nov 16 00:06:54 CET 2018
	- SECURITY IMPLICATION: this release enables allow_nonref by default
          for compatibility with RFC 7159 and newer. See "old" vs. "new"
          JSON under SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS.
        - reworked the "old" vs. "new" JSON section.
        - add ->boolean_values to provide the values to which booleans
          decode (requested by Aristotle Pagaltzis).
        - decode would wrongly accept ASCII NUL characters instead of
          reporting them as trailing garbage.
        - work around what smells like a perl bug w.r.t. exceptions
          thrown in callbacks.
        - incremental parser now more or less respects allow_nonref.
	- json_xs json-pretty now enables canonical mode.
        - add documentation section about I-JSON.
        - minor documentation fixes/updates.

3.04 Thu Aug 17 04:30:47 CEST 2017
	- change exponential realloc algorithm on encoding and string decoding to be
          really exponential (this helps slow/debugging allocators such as libumem)
          (reported by Matthew Horsfall).
        - string encoding would needlessly overallocate output space
          (testcase by Matthew Horsfall).
        - be very paranoid about extending buffer lengths and croak if buffers get too large,
          which might (or might not) improve security.
	- add cbor-packed type to json_xs.
        - switch from YAML to YAML::XS in json_xs, as YAML is way too buggy and outdated.

3.03 Wed Nov 16 20:20:59 CET 2016
	- fix a bug introduced by a perl bug workaround that would cause
          incremental parsing to fail with a sv_chop panic.
	- json_xs: toformat failure error message fixed.
        - json_xs: allow cyclic data structures in CBOR.

3.02 Fri Feb 26 22:45:20 CET 2016
	- allow_nonref now affects booleans (\1, $Types::Serialiser::Boolean)
          as well (reported by Alex Efros).
	- allow literal tabs in strings in relaxed mode (patch by
          lubo.rintel@gooddata.com).
	- support "cbor" format in json_xs tool.
	- support (and fix) calling encode and decode in list context
          (reported by Ð’Ð°Ð´Ð¸Ð¼ Ð’Ð»Ð°ÑÐ¾Ð²).
        - work around a bug in older perls crashing when presented
          with sh
