Peter Harris, Peter.Harris@betfair.com: contributor

Alain Penders:
  * Reported problem with JavaTypeMapper, where floating point numbers were
    accidentally converted to Booleans.
    [0.8]

Mike Eastey:
  * Reported problem with JavaTypeMapper had a bug which prevented custom
    mappers (as well as slower interface-based introspection) from working,
    provided path to specific underlying bugs.
    [0.8.2]

Augusto Callejas:
  * Reported problem with JavaTypeMapper (and JsonTypeMapper), which
    caused read operation not to handle EOF appropriately but instead
    cause a NullPointerException.
    [0.9]

Maciej Pestka:
  * JavaTypeMapper did not implicitly flush generator after mapping
    objects: it should, and now will (note: JsonTypeMapper not directly
    affected, flushing still needed)
    [0.9]

Tudor Bosman:
  * Symbol table handling not thread-safe
    [0.9.3]

Michael Mangeng:
  * Suggested [JACKSON-1]: make JsonNode implement Iterable<JsonNode> to
    allow use of Java 5 foreach loop with container nodes.
    [0.9.3]

Johannes Link:
  * Reported [JACKSON-8]: Serialization of BigDecimal broken with JavaTypeMapper
    [0.9.3]

Stanislaw Osinski:
  * Reported [JACKSON-14], contributed code to resolve it and improve
    generics-handling significantly.
    [0.9.4]
 	 
Michael Descher:
  * Reported [JACKSON-18], ArrayIndexOutOfBounds on IntNode, due to
    off-by-one problem with comparisons used for caching common values.

    mapping.
   [0.9.9-4]

    no-arg constructor
   [1.1.0]
