1.5.9

• Set the global error pointer even if return_parse_end is passed to cJSON_ParseWithOpts. See #200, thanks @rmallins

1.5.8

• Fix make test in the Makefile, thanks @YanhaoMo for reporting this (#195)

1.5.7

Fixes:

• Fix a bug where realloc failing would return a pointer to an invalid memory address. This is a security issue as it could potentially be used by an attacker to write to arbitrary memory addresses. (see #189), fixed in (954d61e), big thanks @timothyjohncarney for reporting this issue
• Fix a spelling mistake in the AFL fuzzer dictionary (#185), thanks @jwilk

1.5.6

Fixes:

• Make cJSON a lot more tolerant about passing NULL pointers to its functions, it should now fail safely instead of dereferencing the pointer. (#183) Thanks @msichal for reporting #182

1.5.5

Fixes:

• Fix pointers to nested arrays in cJSON_Utils (9abe75e)
• Fix an error with case sensitivity handling in cJSON_Utils (b9cc911)
• Fix cJSON_Compare for arrays that are prefixes of the other and objects that are a subset of the other (03ba72f) See #180, thanks @zhengqb for reporting

1.5.4

Fixes:

• Fix build with GCC 7.1.1 and optimization level -O2 (bfbd8fe)

Other Changes:

• Update Unity to 3b69beaa58efc41bbbef70a32a46893cae02719d

1.5.3

Fixes:

• Fix cJSON_ReplaceItemInObject not keeping the name of an item (#174)

1.5.2

Fixes:

• Fix a reading buffer overflow in parse_string (a167d9e)
• Fix compiling with -Wcomma (186cce3)
• Remove leftover attribute from tests (b537ca7)

1.5.1

Fixes:

• Add gcc version guard to the Makefile (#164), thanks @juvasquezg
• Fix incorrect free in cJSON_Utils if custom memory allocator is used (#166), thanks @prefetchnta

1.5.0

Features:

• cJSON finally prints numbers without losing precision (#153) thanks @DeboraG
• cJSON_Compare recursively checks if two cJSON items contain the same values (#148)
• Provide case sensitive versions of every function where it matters (#158, #159)
• Added cJSON_ReplaceItemViaPointer and cJSON_DetachItemViaPointer
• Added cJSON_free and cJSON_malloc that expose the internal configured memory allocators. (02a05ee)

Enhancements:

• Parse into a buffer, this will allow parsing \u0000 in the future (not quite yet though)
• General simplifications and readability improvements
• More unit tests
• Update unity testing library to 2.4.1
• Add the json-patch-tests test suite to test cJSON_Utils.
• Move all tests from test_utils.c to unit tests with unity.

Fixes:

• Fix some warnings with the Microsoft compiler (#139) thanks @PawelWMS
• Fix several bugs in cJSON_Utils, mostly found with json-patch-tests
• Prevent a stack overflow by specifying a maximum nesting depth CJSON_NESTING_LIMIT
