[Douglas R. Reno]

0.17 (up to commit 077661f, 2023-08-08)
========================================

Deprecated and removed features:
--------------------------------
* None

New features
------------
* json_patch: add first implementation only with patch application
* Add --disable-static and --disable-dynamic options to the cmake-configure script.
* Add -DBUILD_APPS=NO option to disable app build
* Minimum cmake version is now 3.9

Significant changes and bug fixes
---------------------------------
* When serializing with JSON_C_TO_STRING_PRETTY set, keep the opening and 
  closing curly or square braces on same line for empty objects or arrays.
* Disable locale handling when targeting a uClibc system due to problems
  with its duplocale() function.
* When parsing with JSON_TOKENER_STRICT set, integer overflow/underflow
  now result in a json_tokener_error_parse_number.  Without that flag
  values are capped at INT64_MIN/UINT64_MAX.
* Fix memory leak with emtpy strings in json_object_set_string
* json_object_from_fd_ex: fail if file is too large (>=INT_MAX bytes)
* Add back json_number_chars, but only because it's part of the public API.
* Entirely drop mode bits from open(O_RDONLY) to avoid warnings on certain
  platforms.
* Specify dependent libraries, including -lbsd, in a more consistent way so
  linking against a static json-c works better
* Fix a variety of build problems and add & improve tests
* Update RFC reference to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8259
