release-notes.VERSION Maven / Gradle / Ivy
The newest version!
Version: 0.9.5
Release date:
10-Dec-2008
Description:
Another pre-1.0 release: this time just one big new feature: ability
to do automatic Bean-based ("any java object with getters") serialization
using JavaTypeMapper. Related to this, the whole serialization sub-system
of JavaTypeMapper rewritten -- and this may cause backwards incompatibility.
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_OBJET events, when JsonGenerator.close() is called.
== History: ==
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
New features:
* [JACKSON-9]: Add support for (non-standard) Json comments.
(requested by Mike G)
* [JACKSON-11]: Implement base64/binary methods for json generator.
* [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.
0.9.3 [05-Sep-2008]:
Bug fixes:
* [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-14]: Problems with generic collections, serializer
method signatures (due to lack of covariance wrt collection types)
* 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)
New features:
* [JACKSON-1]: JsonNode now implements Iterable so that
it is possible use Java 5 foreach loop over array/object nodes.
(suggested by Michael M)
* [JACKSON-4] Added JsonParser.skipChildren() method.
0.9.2 [24-Apr-2008]:
Bug fixes:
* 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.
Changes:
* Replace JsonFactory.Encoding enum with JsonEncoding enum
(NOTE: this is a backwards-incompatible API change)
Improvements:
* New higher performing UTF-8 scanner.
0.9.1 [14-Mar-2008]:
New features:
* JsonGenerator.useDefaultPrettyPrinter()/.setPrettyPrinter()
allow for pretty printing (indentation).
(thanks to Ziad M for suggestion, sample code)
0.8.0 - 0.9.0 [between 17-Oct-2007 and 14-Feb-2008]:
Bug fixes:
* 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)
