This release represents nearly a year of development from multiple
contributors. Some of the major highlights of the release include
supporting a wider variety of objects, supporting the pickle
protocol's set and get state methods, and allowing the use and
addition of any Python JSON backend (e.g. demjson, simplejson,
django.util.simplejson, etc.). Please be aware that backwards
compatibility for the 0.2.0 format JSON is not guaranteed.
In the past year jsonpickle has done well, with nearly 2500 downloads
of the 0.2.0 release from Google Code, not including the bundled
distribution of jsonpickle in tools such as FireLogger and git-cola.
jsonpickle is currently available in the Gentoo repository and working
its way through the Fedora and Debian repository processes.
I thank our contributors, including David Aguilar, Dan Buch, and Ian
Schenck for their massive improvements to jsonpickle. I also thank
everyone who has submitted bug reports and shared thoughts on our
mailing list.
Please try the new version, submit bug reports
(http://github.com/jsonpickle/jsonpickle/issues), and even fork the
project on Github.
Thank you,
John Paulett
