Also see https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2014/07/01/eol-for-1-8-7-and-1-9-2/
* There were still some mentions of dual GPL licensing in the source, but JSON
has just the Ruby license that itself includes an explicit dual-licensing
clause that allows covered software to be distributed under the terms of
the Simplified BSD License instead for all ruby versions >= 1.9.3. This is
however a GPL compatible license according to the Free Software Foundation.
I changed these mentions to be consistent with the Ruby license setting in
the gemspec files which were already correct now.

and SHIBATA Hiroshi <hsbt@ruby-lang.org>.
2013-05-13 (1.8.0)
* Fix https://github.com/flori/json/issues/162 reported by Marc-Andre
Lafortune <github_rocks@marc-andre.ca>. Thanks!

serialize :some_attribute, JSON::GenericObject
work in Rails active models for convenient SomeModel#some_attribute.foo.bar
access to serialised JSON data.
2013-02-04 (1.7.7)
* Security fix for JSON create_additions default value and
JSON::GenericObject. It should not be possible to create additions unless
explicitely requested by setting the create_additions argument to true or
using the JSON.load/dump interface. If JSON::GenericObject is supposed to
be automatically deserialised, this has to be explicitely enabled by
setting
JSON::GenericObject.json_createble = true
as well.

handling: If the nominator and denominator of the offset were divisible by
each other Ruby's Rational#to_s returns them as an integer not a fraction
with '/'. This caused a ZeroDivisionError during parsing.
* Use Date#start and DateTime#start instead of sg method, while
remaining backwards compatible.

This is a implementation of the JSON specification according to RFC
4627. You can think of it as a low fat alternative to XML, if you
want to store data to disk or transmit it over a network rather than
use a verbose markup language.
The JSON generator escapes all non-ASCII an control characters with
\uXXXX escape sequences and supports UTF-16 surrogate pairs in order
to be able to generate the whole range of Unicode code points. This
means that generated JSON text is encoded as UTF-8 (because ASCII is
a subset of UTF-8) and at the same time avoids decoding problems for
receiving endpoints that don't expect UTF-8 encoded texts.
This package is a pure Ruby variant that relies on the iconv and the
stringscan extensions, which are both part of the Ruby standard library.
