0.2.2 (2017-05-21)

New features:

• FEATURE #341: Support nested character classes and intersection operation. For example, [\p{Greek}&&\pL] matches greek letters and [[0-9]&&[^4]] matches every decimal digit except 4. (Much thanks to @robinst, who contributed this awesome feature.)

Bug fixes:

• BUG #321: Fix bug in literal extraction and UTF-8 decoding.
• BUG #326: Add documentation tip about the (?x) flag.

0.2.1

One major bug with replace_all has been fixed along with a couple of other touchups.

• BUG #312: Fix documentation for NoExpand to reference correct lifetime parameter.
• BUG #314: Fix a bug with replace_all when replacing a match with the empty string.

0.2.0

This is a new major release of the regex crate, and is an implementation of the regex 1.0 RFC. We are releasing a 0.2 first, and if there are no major problems, we will release a 1.0 shortly. For 0.2, the minimum supported Rust version is 1.12.

There are a number of breaking changes in 0.2. They are split into two types. The first type correspond to breaking changes in regular expression syntax. The second type correspond to breaking changes in the API.

Breaking changes for regex syntax:

• POSIX character classes now require double bracketing. Previously, the regex [:upper:] would parse as the upper POSIX character class. Now it parses as the character class containing the characters :upper:. The fix to this change is to use [[:upper:]] instead. Note that variants like [[:upper:][:blank:]] continue to work.
• The character [ must always be escaped inside a character class.
• The characters &, - and ~ must be escaped if any one of them are repeated consecutively. For example, [&], [\&], [\&\&], [&-&] are all equivalent while [&&] is illegal. (The motivation for this and the prior change is to provide a backwards compatible path for adding character class set notation.)
• A bytes::Regex now has Unicode mode enabled by default (like the main Regex type). This means regexes compiled with bytes::Regex::new that don't have the Unicode flag set should add (?-u) to recover the original behavior.

Breaking changes for the regex API:

• find and find_iter now return Match values instead of (usize, usize). Match values have start and end methods, which return the match offsets. Match values also have an as_str method, which returns the text of the match itself.
• The Captures type now only provides a single iterator over all capturing matches, which should replace uses of iter and iter_pos. Uses of iter_named should use the capture_names method on Regex.
• The at method on the Captures type has been renamed to get, and it now returns a Match. Similarly, the name method on Captures now returns a Match.
• The replace methods now return Cow values. The Cow::Borrowed variant is returned when no replacements are made.
• The Replacer trait has been completely overhauled. This should only impact clients that implement this trait explicitly. Standard uses of the replace methods should continue to work unchanged. If you implement the Replacer trait, please consult the new documentation.
• The quote free function has been renamed to escape.
• The Regex::with_size_limit method has been removed. It is replaced by RegexBuilder::size_limit.
• The RegexBuilder type has switched from owned self method receivers to &mut self method receivers. Most uses will continue to work unchanged, but some code may require naming an intermediate variable to hold the builder.
• The compile method on RegexBuilder has been renamed to build.
• The free is_match function has been removed. It is replaced by compiling a Regex and calling its is_match method.
• The PartialEq and Eq impls on Regex have been dropped. If you relied on these impls, the fix is to define a wrapper type around Regex, impl Deref on it and provide the necessary impls.
• The is_empty method on Captures has been removed. This always returns false, so its use is superfluous.
• The Syntax variant of the Error type now contains a string instead of a regex_syntax::Error. If you were examining syntax errors more closely, you'll need to explicitly use the regex_syntax crate to re-parse the regex.
• The InvalidSet variant of the Error type has been removed since it is no longer used.
• Most of the iterator types have been renamed to match conventions. If you were using these iterator types explicitly, please consult the documentation for its new name. For example, RegexSplits has been renamed to Split.

A number of bugs have been fixed:

• BUG #151: The Replacer trait has been changed to permit the caller to control allocation.
• BUG #165: Remove the free is_match function.
• BUG #166: Expose more knobs (available in 0.1) and remove with_size_limit.
• BUG #168: Iterators produced by Captures now have the correct lifetime parameters.
• BUG #175: Fix a corner case in the parsing of POSIX character classes.
• BUG #178: Drop the PartialEq and Eq impls on Regex.
• BUG #179: Remove is_empty from Captures since it always returns false.
• BUG #276: Position of named capture can now be retrieved from a Captures.
• BUG #296: Remove winapi/kernel32-sys dependency on UNIX.
• BUG #307: Fix error on emscripten.

• Fix bug #272.
• Fix bug #277.

0.1.73

• Release regex-syntax 0.3.4.
• Bump regex-syntax dependency version for regex to 0.3.4.

0.1.72

• PR #262: Fixes a number of small bugs caught by fuzz testing (AFL).

0.1.71

• PR #236: Fix a bug in how suffix literals were extracted, which could lead to invalid match behavior in some cases.

0.1.70

• PR #231: Add SIMD accelerated multiple pattern search.
• PR #228: Reintroduce the reverse suffix literal optimization.
• PR #226: Implements NFA state compression in the lazy DFA.
• PR #223: A fully anchored RegexSet can now short-circuit.

0.1.69

• PR #216: Tweak the threshold for running backtracking.
• PR #217: Add upper limit (from the DFA) to capture search (for the NFA).
• PR #218: Add rure, a C API.

0.1.68

• PR #210: Fixed a performance bug in bytes::Regex::replace where extend was used instead of extend_from_slice.
• PR #211: Fixed a bug in the handling of word boundaries in the DFA.
• PR #213: Added RE2 and Tcl to the benchmark harness. Also added a CLI utility from running regexes using any of the following regex engines: PCRE1, PCRE2, Oniguruma, RE2, Tcl and of course Rust's own regexes.

0.1.67

• PR #201: Fix undefined behavior in the regex! compiler plugin macro.
• PR #205: More improvements to DFA performance. Competitive with RE2. See PR for benchmarks.
• PR #209: Release 0.1.66 was semver incompatible since it required a newer version of Rust than previous releases. This PR fixes that. (And 0.1.66 was yanked.)

0.1.66

• Speculative support for Unicode word boundaries was added to the DFA. This should remove the last common case that disqualified use of the DFA.
• An optimization that scanned for suffix literals and then matched the regular expression in reverse was removed because it had worst case quadratic time complexity. It was replaced with a more limited optimization where, given any regex of the form re$, it will be matched in reverse from the end of the haystack.
• PR #202: The inner loop of the DFA was heavily optimized to improve cache locality and reduce the overall number of instructions run on each iteration. This represents the first use of unsafe in regex (to elide bounds checks).
• PR #200: Use of the mempool crate (which used thread local storage) was replaced with a faster version of a similar API in @Amanieu's thread_local crate. It should reduce contention when using a regex from multiple threads simultaneously.
• PCRE2 JIT benchmarks were added. A benchmark comparison can be found here. (Includes a comparison with PCRE1's JIT and Oniguruma.)
• A bug where word boundaries weren't being matched correctly in the DFA was fixed. This only affected use of bytes::Regex.
• #160: Captures now has a Debug impl.
