This was breaking JSON since "0" is true in javascript. 1.12 (JSON::Syck 0.35 ) Aug 03 2010 - The tie test proved to be very unstable for 5.8 and it's not relevant for tie actually. I'm converting it to a TODO for 1.11 (JSON::Syck 0.35 ) Aug 03 2010 - Tests are now stable. releasing 1.11 1.10_07 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 29 2010 - META.yml missing 1.10_06 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 29 2010 - Load of in-memory file handles not previously tested (was eval'd out of existance) Corrected code and test to behave correctly. - Perl 5.8 required to YAML-ify code refs - Perl 5.6 requires {} to print to a scalar GLOB - use SvNIOK to test for int or float if we know it's not a string - Attempt again to get 5.8.7 skipped for tie test 1.10_05 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 28 2010 - Skip failing tie test on perl < 5.8.8 && perl >= 5.7.0x 1.10_04 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 19 2010 - RT 23850 - META.yml of DMAKI/DateTime-Format-Japanese-0.01.tar.gz cannot be parsed - RT 34073 - TODO Tests - Parsing YAML without separator - RT 20969 - Document die behavior differences with YAML 1.10_03 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 19 2010 - TODO tests to cover noted deficiencies in RT #'s 26182, 54780, 49404, 42390 - RT 23909 - Loaded self-refererring document is corrupted 1.10_02 (JSON::Syck 0.34 ) Jul 19 2010 - RT 50227 - Logic bug in deciding what numbers to quote led to some interesting corner cases.

It had a critical bug that I reported which broke installations on perl 5.8.3 and older. This release is equivalent to 1.09 aside from bumping Module::Install to 0.99 which fixed the bug. 1.09 (JSON::Syck 0.32) May 29 2010 - Exactly equivalent to 1.08_01, aside from bumping the version numbers 1.08_01 (JSON::Syck 0.31_01) May 23 2010 - Reset the hash iterator after dumping hashes.

The source repository is now hosted in Git at http://github.com/avar/YAML-Syck YAML::Syck is still pretty much abandonware, all its bugs likely to get fixed any time soon. Code fixes: - Strings starting with : are now always quoted. Ruby will interpret anything starting with a colon as a symbol. Before this fix strings exported from YAML::Syck would be interpreted as Ruby symbols when read by Ruby's syck. Release engineering fixes: - Upgrade from Module::Install 0.68 to 0.97 - Bump included Test::More dependency - Remove included inc/attributes.pm dependency. Nothing in our dependencies used this anymore. - Add homepage, bugtracker, and repository metadata to META.yml - Bump perl dependency from 5.00307 to 5.006. 5.005 is all Module::Install supported, and YAML::Syck depends on Scalar::Util which only goes as low as 5.006. 1.07 (JSON::Syck 0.30) Apr 25 2009 - Added the missing Loadfile function to JSON::Syck. Reported by: Dan McCormick 1.05 (JSON::Syck 0.29) Jun 09 2008 - Loading a YAML stream containing Regexp nodes under -d:DProf should not fail with "panic: Devel::DProf inconsistent subroutine return".

Reported by: Jesse Vincent 1.03 (JSON::Syck 0.29) Feb 16 2008 - JSON::Syck: When $JSON::Syck::SingleQuote is false, implicit booleans such as "yes" and "no" should be dumped with double quotes, instead of single quotes (which breaks RFC 4627). Reported by: cho45 1.02 (JSON::Syck 0.28) Feb 16 2008 - JSON::Syck: Colons in single-quoted strings are no longer loaded with an extra space after it. Reported by: Agent Zhang 1.01 (JSON::Syck 0.27) Jan 19 2008 - JSON::XS is now promoted prominiently in JSON::Syck's documentation. - Added support for Perl 5.11 and its first-class Regexp objects. Contributed by: Andreas Koenig - Tests no longer fail incorrectly when JSON.pm 2.00+ is installed. Contributed by: Andreas Koenig - Removed the unused Syck bytecode modules (yamlbyte.h and yaml2byte.c) to further reduce our memory footprint. 1.00 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Dec 10 2007 - When $YAML::Syck::SingleQuote is set to true, Dump() now emits newlines in strings correctly.

Contributed by: Florian Ragwitz 0.96 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Aug 08 2007 - The always-quote rule now applies to all implicit booleans and null values, i.e. strings that match the following regex: /y|Y |n|N |yes|Yes|YES |no|No|NO |true|True|TRUE |false|False|FALSE |on|On|ON |off|Off|OFF |null|Null|NULL |~ /x - Bare literals "Y", "N", "y" and "n" are now recognized as booleans when loading with implicit typing turned on. - Mixed case strings that does not represent implicit boolean values, such as "yES" and "nO", are no longer always-quoted. Contributed by: Malcolm Studd 0.95 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Aug 04 2007 - "Yes" and "no" (including all upper/lower case forms) are now always dumped in quoted form to avoid ambiguities when loaded by loaders with ImplicitTyping set to true. Reported by: Malcolm Studd - lib/YAML/Syck.pod is merged back into lib/YAML/Syck.pm. (No functional changes.) 0.94 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Jul 10 2007 - Repair broken PAUSE upload, again.

Contributed by: Ingy döt Net 0.90 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Jun 22 2007 - Regexes are now dump/loaded correctly with modifiers, with a new representation: "--- !!perl/regexp:main (?i-xsm:1)", instead of the old mapping with a REGEXP key. The old form still loads correctly; the new form corresponds to YAML.pm 0.63 and later. Requested by: Ingy döt Net - Loading regexes with modifiers no longer involves an eval"" call. 0.88 (JSON::Syck 0.26) Jun 17 2007 - New dependency: Scalar::Util, for LoadFile and DumpFile functions. You can safely do without that module if you do not make use of the two functions. - LoadFile and DumpFile now accept glob values, and reject unopened handles properly instead of silently ignores it. Contributed by: Adriano Ferreira 0.87 (JSON::Syck 0.25) Jun 17 2007 - New LoadFile and DumpFile functions for JSON::Syck. - JSON::Syck now actually exports its functions if you ask for it. - LoadFile and DumpFile now accept IO objects in addition to file names. Requested by: Adriano Ferreira 0.86 (JSON::Syck 0.24) Jun 16 2007 - Support for dumping and loading regexps created by qr//, including blessed once. Note that loading Regexp values dumped by YAML.pm currently discards modifiers. 0.85 (JSON::Syck 0.24) Apr 20 2007 - Strings containing both single quotes and newlines were incorrectly quoted with backslash-escaped single quotes. This is a regression introduced in YAML::Syck 0.84. Reported by: Agent Zhang 0.84 (JSON::Syck 0.23) Apr 02 2007 - New $YAML::Syck::SingleQuote flag: When it is set to true, Dump will always emit quotes instead of bare strings. Requested by: Ingo Bax - When $JSON::Syck::SingleQuote is set to true, special characters such as \r\n are still escaped as usual, because JavaScript allows the same form of escaping in strings with either quotes. Reported by: Dobrica Pavlinusic 0.83 (JSON::Syck 0.22) Feb 05 2007 - Under JSON::Syck, as well as YAML::Syck when $ImplicitTyping is set to true, integer numbers larger than an unsigned integer (>=4294967296 on 32-bit platforms) was erroneously loaded as 0.
