Changelog for aeson-1.4.0.0

For the latest version of this document, please see https://github.com/bos/aeson/blob/master/changelog.md.

1.4.0.0

This release introduces bounds on the size of Scientific numbers when they are converted to other arbitrary precision types that do not represent them efficiently in memory.

This means that trying to decode a number such as 1e1000000000 into an Integer will now fail instead of using a lot of memory. If you need to represent large numbers you can add a newtype (preferably over Scientific) and providing a parser using withScientific.

The following instances are affected by this:

For the same reasons the following instances & functions have been removed:

Finally, encoding integral values with large exponents now uses scientific notation, this saves space for large numbers.

This release should be close to backwards compatible with aeson 0.9.

If you are upgrading from aeson 0.10 it might be easier to go back in history to the point you were still using 0.9.
