Release 1.3 2024-08-02

Changed MKIOCCCENTRY_REPO_VERSION from "1.2 2024-07-04".
to "1.3 2024-08-02".

Release 1.2.5 2024-07-28

We add a lot of good and bad JSON files to the test JSON directories
(test_ioccc/test_JSON/good and test_ioccc/test_JSON/bad respectively) that
come from the JSONTestSuite repo with
all tests succeeding. We give our gratitude to the maintainers of the repo! For
a quick note on why these results are significant, besides the fact that it is
more validation that our parser is in good shape, is from the maintainers of the
repo. They write about the files:

These files contain weird structures and characters that parsers may understand
differently, e.g.:

    huge numbers
    dictionaries with similar keys
    NULL characters
    escaped invalid strings

Again we give a HUGE THANK YOU to the
JSONTestSuite repo maintainers!

The jparse/README.md file has been updated to move the history section to the
very bottom and to discuss (briefly) the testing procedure that Landon and I
(Cody) have implemented.

The make test, make prep and make slow_prep rules now show the time of
starting and time of ending.

Also, since this was not mentioned, we recently added (with thanks to
@SirWumpus) a workflow that runs make slow_prep on push and pull request so we
can more easily find problems (in case someone forgets to run the rule prior to
commit or if there is a case where the local environment of the committer makes
the test pass even though it should not, which has happened before).

Release 1.2.4 2024-07-14

Add constants for test_formed_timestamp_usec() in entry_util.c.

Fix error messages in a number of sem_member_value_* functions in
jparse/json_sem.c, where the * is some of the number checks. In particular
a number of non-boolean checks reported incorrectly that the type was not a bool
when it actually expects something else.

Release 1.2.3 2024-07-12

Add -e option to mkiocccentry(1) which if specified will be passed to
txzchk(1). The test suite always uses this option. The man page for
mkiocccentry(1) was updated to show this new option. The guidelines might want
to be updated for this but they might not want to be. This is TBD later.

Updated MKIOCCCENTRY_VERSION to "1.0.7 2024-07-12" for the -e option.

Release 1.2.2 2024-07-11

Removed -q from txzchk(1) and make it always show warnings. If one wants to
not see warnings they can do 2> /dev/null. The point of this change is so that
the submit server does not have to use -q but also warnings should be showed
in any case if there are any. The option to show warnings, -w, still exists
but using this should not normally be required. This commit will require an
update to the guidelines which I will do when this has been merged.

The punny messages in txzchk(1) are now in their own option (or actually
options): -e and -f; -f requires an argument that can be converted to an
unsigned integer but you will have to either try it out, read the source or
check the man page if you wish to know more as I (@xexyl) do not want to spoil
the fun of finding it (including the additional ones)! mkiocccentry(1) will
use the first option but not the second one. This was suggested on GitHub just
like the removal of -q was.

Updated TXZCHK_VERSION to "1.0.8 2024-07-11".

Ran make rebuild_txzchk_test_errors due to slight message changes and then
make release to test everything.

Release 1.2.1 2024-07-10

Fixed txzchk(1) to NOT show warnings if -q is used unless -w is used
which now disables -q as it's necessary for the test suite (that always held
but with this fix it caused problems to not disable quiet mode and since -q
does not make sense with -w anyway it is not a problem).

txzchk_test.sh no longer uses -q but this is only because there is no point
in using it due to the change in txzchk(1).

I (@xexyl) (re)discovered this problem when working on adding the details of
using txzchk(1) to the guidelines, as I know how it works best and I felt
there were some details that could be clarified.

Changed TXZCHK_VERSION to "1.0.7 2024-07-10".
Changed TXZCHK_TEST_VERSION to "1.0.3 2024-07-10".
