New features: * [JACKSON-52]: Allow disabling name-based auto-detection of getter methods (requested by Justin F) * [JACKSON-58]: Allow defining custom global Enum serializer (to, for example, make Enums be serialized using Enum.toString(), or lower-case name or such) * [JACKSON-67]: Add JAX-RS provider based on Jackson that can handle JSON content type; initially as a separate jar. Other: * [JACKSON-22]: all contributors now have submitted contributor agreement, stored under 'DEV/agreements-received' in svn trunk. 0.9.8 [18-Feb-2009]: Fixes: * [JACKSON-49]: Incorrect bounds check for Float values resulted in exception when trying to serializer 0.0f. New features: * [JACKSON-32]: add annotations to configure serialization process (@JsonClass/@JsonContentClass/@JsonKeyClass; @JsonUseSerializer, @JsonUseDeserializer, @JsonIgnore) * [JACKSON-36]: add annotations to define property names that differ from bean naming convention (@JsonGetter/@JsonSetter) Improvements: * [JACKSON-47]: Change DeserializerProvider.findValueDeserializer to take "referrer" information. This is needed to be able to give contextual mappings where a given type may be deserialized differently (by different deserializer, and possibly to a different java class) depending on where the reference is from. * [JACKSON-48]: Integrate ObjectMapper with JsonGenerator, JsonParser; add MappingJsonFactory. (suggested by Scott A) * [JACKSON-50]: JsonNode.getElements() and .iterator() now work for ObjectNodes too, not just ArrayNodes. Also added convenience factory methods to allow constructing child nodes directly from container nodes. * [JACKSON-53]: iBatis proxied value classes didn't work; fixed by prevent CGLib-generated "getCallbacks" from getting called. (reportd by Justin F) * [JACKSON-55]: Added support for reference-path-tracking in JsonMappingException, made serializers populate it: this to make it easier to trouble-shoot nested serialization problems * [JACKSON-56]: Added support for RFC-1123 date format, along with simpler "standard" format; and can add more as need be. 0.9.7 [04-Feb-2009]: Improvements: * [JACKSON-34]: Improved packaging by adding an intermediate directory in source tarball, to not mess up the current directory (and to indicate version number as well) * [JACKSON-37]: Make Jackson run on Android, by ensuring that there are no hard linkages to classes that Android SDK doesn't have (the only reference that was there, to XMLGregorianCalendar, was changed to soft linkage) * [JACKSON-42]: Add new JsonNode sub-class, BinaryNode, to represent base64 encoded binary content. New features: * [JACKSON-6]: Implement JsonParser.getBinaryValue() so that one can now also read Base64-encoded binary, not just write. * [JACKSON-40]: Add JsonParser.nextValue() for more convenient iteration. * [JACKSON-46]: Allow disabling quoting of field names by disabling feature 'JsonGenerator.feature.QUOTE_FIELD_NAMES' (requested by Scott Anderson) 0.9.6 [14-Jan-2009]: Bug fixes: * Serialization of some core types (boolean/java.lang.Boolean, long/java.lang.Long) was not working due to incorrectly mapped serializers. New features: * [JACKSON-31]: Complete rewrite of ObjectMapper's deserialization: now supports Beans, typed (generics-aware) Lists/Maps/arrays. Improvements: * [JACKSON-24]: Add efficient byte-array - based parser factory method to JsonFactory (has maybe 5% improvement over wrapping in ByteArrayInputStream). * [JACKSON-29]: Split classes in 2 jars: core that has parser and generator APIs and implementations; and mapper jar that has object and tree mapper code. * [JACKSON-30]: Renamed "JavaTypeMapper" as "ObjectMapper", and "JsonTypeMapper" as "TreeMapper"; new names should be more intuitive to indicate their purpose. Will leave simple implementations of old classes to allow for gradual migration of existing code. 0.9.5 [10-Dec-2008]: Bug fixes: * [JACKSON-25]: Problems with Maven pom for lgpl version (report by Ray R) note: backported to 0.9.4 Codehaus Maven repo Improvements: * [JACKSON-13]: JavaTypeMapper can now take JsonFactory argument, and thus is able to construct JsonParser/JsonGenerator instances as necessary * [JACKSON-17]: Handling of unknown types now configurable with JavaTypeMapper serialization (see JsonSerializerProvider for methods) * [JACKSON-20]: Handling of nulls (key, value) configurable with JavaTypeMapper serialization (see JsonSerializerProvider for methods) * [JACKSON-26]: Add convenience JsonGenerator.writeXxxField() methods to simplify json generation. New features: * [JACKSON-27]: Allow automatic closing of incomplete START_ARRAY and START_OBJECT events, when JsonGenerator.close() is called. 0.9.4 [26-Nov-2008]: Bug fixes: * [JACKSON-16]: JavaDocs regarding whether Jackson is to close underlying streams, readers and writers, were incorrect. Additionally added parser/generator features to allow specifying whether automatic closing is to be done by Jackson: feature is enabled by default, both for backwards compatibility, and because it seems like the right setting. * [JACKSON-18]: ArrayIndexOutOfBounds on IntNode, due to off-by-one problem with comparisons (reported by Michael D) * Fixed a problem with CR (\r) handling; was sometimes skipping characters (problematic if there's no indentation). * Multiple UTF-8 decoding fixes: was specifically not working for names. Improvements: * More complete JavaDoc comments for core public classes. * Internal cleanup of core parsing, to unify handling of Object and Array entries 0.8.0 - 0.9.3 [between 17-Oct-2007 and 05-Sep-2008]: Changes: * [JACKSON-5]: Symbol table construction was not thread-safe for utf-8 encoded content (new bug with 0.9.2, not present with earlier) (reported by Tudor B) * [JACKSON-8]: Serialization of BigDecimal broken with JavaTypeMapper (reported by Johannes L) * [JACKSON-9]: Add support for (non-standard) Json comments. (requested by Mike G) * [JACKSON-11]: Implement base64/binary methods for json generator. * [JACKSON-14]: Problems with generic collections, serializer method signatures (due to lack of covariance wrt collection types) * [JACKSON-15]: Add copy-through methods to JsonGenerator for pass-through copying of content (copyCurrentEvent, copyCurrentStructure) * [JACKSON-23]: Add OSGi manifest headers for jars (to run on OSGi container). * Added generic "feature" mechanism to parsers, writers; features are togglable (on/off) things with well-defined default values, implemented as Enums. * [JACKSON-1]: JsonNode now implements Iterable<JsonNode> so that it is possible use Java 5 foreach loop over array/object nodes. (suggested by Michael M) * [JACKSON-4] Added JsonParser.skipChildren() method. * UTF-16/32 handling was not completely correct, was erroneously skipping first 2/4 bytes in some cases (even when no BOM included). Also, related unit tests added/fixed. * JsonGenerator.useDefaultPrettyPrinter()/.setPrettyPrinter() allow for pretty printing (indentation). (thanks to Ziad M for suggestion, sample code) * Implicit conversions for numbers could sometimes lose accuracy, if floating-point number was first accessed as int/long, and then as a BigDecimal. * One Nasty NPE fixed from NameCanonicalizer (which was added in 0.9.2) * Java type mapper had a bug in Collection mapping (mismatched calls between writeStartArray and writeEndObject!) (reported by Mike E) * Java type mapper had a bug which prevented custom mappers (as well as slower interface-based introspection) from working. (reported by Mike E) * Numeric value parsing had some problems * JavaTypeMapper and JsonTypeMapper had a bug which resulted in NullPointerException when stream ends, instead of returning null to indicate it. (reported by Augusto C) * JavaTypeMapper did not implicitly flush generator after mapping objects: it should, and now will (note: JsonTypeMapper not directly affected, flushing still needed) (suggested by Maciej P)
