 - `prelude` now works with the JavaScript target.
 
 - Added `ioutils` module containing `duplicate` and `duplicateTo` to duplicate `FileHandle` using C function `dup` and `dup2`.
+
+- The JSON module can now handle integer literals and floating point literals of arbitrary length and precision.
+  Numbers that do not fit the underlying `BiggestInt` or `BiggestFloat` fields are kept as string literals and
+  one can use external BigNum libraries to handle these. The `parseFloat` family of functions also has now optional
+  `rawIntegers` and `rawFloats` parameters that can be used to enforce that all integer or float literals remain
+  in the "raw" string form so that client code can easily treat small and large numbers uniformly.
+
 - Added `randState` template that exposes the default random number generator. Useful for library authors.
