It will be improved until the final release. The item count is 188,
which is similar to recent releases:
release-10: 189
release-11: 170
release-12: 180
release-13: 178
release-14: 220
release-15: 184
release-16: 206
release-17: 188
I welcome feedback. For some reason it was an easier job than usual.
I don't like blowing my own horn but I feel commit 3311ea86ed "Introduce a
non-recursive JSON parser" should be in the release notes. This isn't
something that's purely internal, but it could be used by an extension or a
client program to parse JSON documents that are too large to handle with the
existing API.
Maybe "Introduce an incremental JSON parser" would have been a better
headline.
Well, this gets into a level of detail that is beyond the average
reader. I think at that level people will need to read the git logs or
review the code. Do we use it for anything yet?
Yes, certainly, it's used in handling backup manifests. Without it we
can't handle huge manifests. See commits ea7b4e9a2a and 222e11a10a.
Other uses are in the works.
cheers
