## [Unreleased]

### [1.8.1] - 2020-09-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed scanning of comment-like text in normal mode
  * this was an old bug, but had become more prevalent in v1.8.0
  * thanks to [Tietew](https://github.com/Tietew) for the report
- specified correct minimum Ruby version in gemspec
  * it said 1.9 but really required 2.0 as of v1.8.0

### [1.8.0] - 2020-09-20 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Changed

- dropped support for running on Ruby 1.9.x

### Added

- regexp flags can now be passed when parsing a `String` as regexp body
  * see the [README](/README.md#usage) for details
  * thanks to [Owen Stephens](https://github.com/owst)
- bare occurrences of `\g` and `\k` are now allowed and scanned as literal escapes
  * matches Onigmo behavior
  * thanks for the report to [Marc-André Lafortune](https://github.com/marcandre)

### Fixed

- fixed parsing comments without preceding space or trailing newline in x-mode
  * thanks to [Owen Stephens](https://github.com/owst)

### [1.7.1] - 2020-06-07 - [Ammar Ali](mailto:ammarabuali@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- Support for literals that include the unescaped delimiters `{`, `}`, and `]`. These
  delimiters are informally supported by various regexp engines.

### [1.7.0] - 2020-02-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Expression#each_expression` and `#traverse` can now be called without a block
  * this returns an `Enumerator` and allows chaining, e.g. `each_expression.select`
  * thanks to [Masataka Kuwabara](https://github.com/pocke)

### Fixed

- `MatchLength#each` no longer ignores the given `limit:` when called without a block

### [1.6.0] - 2019-06-16 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- Added support for 16 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 2.6.2 and 2.6.3

### [1.5.1] - 2019-05-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- Fixed `#options` (and thus `#i?`, `#u?` etc.) not being set for some expressions:
  * this affected posix classes as well as alternation, conditional, and intersection branches
  * `#options` was already correct for all child expressions of such branches
  * this only made an operational difference for posix classes as they respect encoding flags
- Fixed `#options` not respecting all negative options in weird cases like '(?u-m-x)'
- Fixed `Group#option_changes` not accounting for indirectly disabled (overridden) encoding flags
- Fixed `Scanner` allowing negative encoding options if there were no positive options, e.g. '(?-u)'
- Fixed `ScannerError` for some valid meta/control sequences such as '\\C-\\\\'
- Fixed `Expression#match` and `#=~` not working with a single argument

### [1.5.0] - 2019-05-14 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- Added `#referenced_expression` for backrefs, subexp calls and conditionals
  * returns the `Group` expression that is being referenced via name or number
- Added `Expression#repetitions`
  * returns a `Range` of allowed repetitions (`1..1` if there is no quantifier)
  * like `#quantity` but with a more uniform interface
- Added `Expression#match_length`
  * allows to inspect and iterate over String lengths matched by the Expression

### Fixed

- Fixed `Expression#clone` "direction"
  * it used to dup ivars onto the callee, leaving only the clone referencing the original objects
  * this will affect you if you call `#eql?`/`#equal?` on expressions or use them as Hash keys
- Fixed `#clone` results for `Sequences`, e.g. alternations and conditionals
  * the inner `#text` was cloned onto the `Sequence` and thus duplicated
  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/(a|bc)/).clone.to_s # => (aa|bcbc)`
- Fixed inconsistent `#to_s` output for `Sequences`
  * it used to return only the "specific" text, e.g. "|" for an alternation
  * now it includes nested expressions as it does for all other `Subexpressions`
- Fixed quantification of codepoint lists with more than one entry (`\u{62 63 64}+`)
  * quantifiers apply only to the last entry, so this token is now split up if quantified

### [1.4.0] - 2019-04-02 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- Added support for 19 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 2.6.0

### [1.3.0] - 2018-11-14 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Syntax#features` returns a `Hash` of all types and tokens supported by a given `Syntax`

### Fixed

- Thanks to [Akira Matsuda](https://github.com/amatsuda)
  * eliminated warning "assigned but unused variable - testEof"

## [1.2.0] - 2018-09-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Subexpression` (branch node) includes `Enumerable`, allowing to `#select` children etc.

### Fixed

- Fixed missing quantifier in `Conditional::Expression` methods `#to_s`, `#to_re`
- `Conditional::Condition` no longer lives outside the recursive `#expressions` tree
  - it used to be the only expression stored in a custom ivar, complicating traversal
  - its setter and getter (`#condition=`, `#condition`) still work as before

## [1.1.0] - 2018-09-17 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- Added `Quantifier` methods `#greedy?`, `#possessive?`, `#reluctant?`/`#lazy?`
- Added `Group::Options#option_changes`
  - shows the options enabled or disabled by the given options group
  - as with all other expressions, `#options` shows the overall active options
- Added `Conditional#reference` and `Condition#reference`, indicating the determinative group
- Added `Subexpression#dig`, acts like [`Array#dig`](http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/Array.html#method-i-dig)

### Fixed

- Fixed parsing of quantified conditional expressions (quantifiers were assigned to the wrong expression)
- Fixed scanning and parsing of forward-referring subexpression calls (e.g. `\g<+1>`)
- `Root` and `Sequence` expressions now support the same constructor signature as all other expressions

## [1.0.0] - 2018-09-01 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

This release includes several breaking changes, mostly to character sets, #map and properties.

### Changed

- Changed handling of sets (a.k.a. character classes or "bracket expressions")
  * see PR [#55](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/55) / issue [#47](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/issues/47) for details
  * sets are now parsed to expression trees like other nestable expressions
  * `#scan` now emits the same tokens as outside sets (no longer `:set, :member`)
  * `CharacterSet#members` has been removed
  * new `Range` and `Intersection` classes represent corresponding syntax features
  * a new `PosixClass` expression class represents e.g. `[[:ascii:]]`
    * `PosixClass` instances behave like `Property` ones, e.g. support `#negative?`
    * `#scan` emits `:(non)posixclass, :<type>` instead of `:set, :char_(non)<type>`
- Changed `Subexpression#map` to act like regular `Enumerable#map`
  * the old behavior is available as `Subexpression#flat_map`
  * e.g. `parse(/[a]/).map(&:to_s) == ["[a]"]`; used to be `["[a]", "a"]`
- Changed expression emissions for some escape sequences
  * `EscapeSequence::Codepoint`, `CodepointList`, `Hex` and `Octal` are now all used
  * they already existed, but were all parsed as `EscapeSequence::Literal`
  * e.g. `\x97` is now `EscapeSequence::Hex` instead of `EscapeSequence::Literal`
- Changed naming of many property tokens (emitted for `\p{...}`)
  * if you work with these tokens, see PR [#56](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/56) for details
  * e.g. `:punct_dash` is now `:dash_punctuation`
- Changed `(?m)` and the likes to emit as `:options_switch` token (@4ade4d1)
  * allows differentiating from group-local `:options`, e.g. `(?m:.)`
- Changed name of `Backreference::..NestLevel` to `..RecursionLevel` (@4184339)
- Changed `Backreference::Number#number` from `String` to `Integer` (@40a2231)

### Added

- Added support for all previously missing properties (about 250)
- Added `Expression::UnicodeProperty#shortcut` (e.g. returns "m" for `\p{mark}`)
- Added `#char(s)` and `#codepoint(s)` methods to all `EscapeSequence` expressions
- Added `#number`/`#name`/`#recursion_level` to all backref/call expressions (@174bf21)
- Added `#number` and `#number_at_level` to capturing group expressions (@40a2231)

### Fixed

- Fixed Ruby version mapping of some properties
- Fixed scanning of some property spellings, e.g. with dashes
- Fixed some incorrect property alias normalizations
- Fixed scanning of codepoint escapes with 6 digits (e.g. `\u{10FFFF}`)
- Fixed scanning of `\R` and `\X` within sets; they act as literals there

## [0.5.0] - 2018-04-29 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Changed

- Changed handling of Ruby versions (PR [#53](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/53))
  * New Ruby versions are now supported by default
  * Some deep-lying APIs have changed, which should not affect most users:
    * `Regexp::Syntax::VERSIONS` is gone
    * Syntax version names have changed from `Regexp::Syntax::Ruby::Vnnn`
      to `Regexp::Syntax::Vn_n_n`
    * Syntax version classes for Ruby versions without regex feature changes
      are no longer predefined and are now only created on demand / lazily
    * `Regexp::Syntax::supported?` returns true for any argument >= 1.8.6

### Fixed

- Fixed some use cases of Expression methods #strfregexp and #to_h (@e738107)

### Added

- Added full signature support to collection methods of Expressions (@aa7c55a)

## [0.1.0] - 2010-11-21 - [Ammar Ali](mailto:ammarabuali@gmail.com)

- Initial release
