# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

## [2.8.1] - 2023-06-10 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- support for extpict unicode property, added in Ruby 2.6
- support for 10 unicode script/block properties added in Ruby 3.2

## [2.8.0] - 2023-04-17 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Regexp::Expression::Shared#ends_at`
  * e.g. `parse(/a +/x)[0].ends_at # => 3`
  * e.g. `parse(/a +/x)[0].ends_at(include_quantifier = false) # => 1`
- `Regexp::Expression::Shared#{capturing?,comment?}`
  * previously only available on capturing and comment groups
- `Regexp::Expression::Shared#{decorative?}`
  * true for decorations: comment groups as well as comments and whitespace in x-mode
- `Regexp::Expression::Shared#parent`
- new format argument `:original` for `Regexp::Expression::Base#to_s`
  * includes decorative elements between node and its quantifier
  * e.g. `parse(/a (?#comment) +/x)[0].to_s(:original) # => "a (?#comment) +"`
  * using it is not needed when calling `Root#to_s` as Root can't be quantified
- support calling `Subexpression#{each_expression,flat_map}` with a one-argument block
  * in this case, only the expressions are passed to the block, no indices
- support calling test methods at Expression class level
  - `capturing?`, `comment?`, `decorative?`, `referential?`, `terminal?`
  - e.g. `Regexp::Expression::CharacterSet.terminal? # => false`

### Fixed

- `Regexp::Expression::Shared#full_length` with whitespace before quantifier
  * e.g. `parse(/a +/x)[0].full_length` used to yield `2`, now it yields `3`
- `Subexpression#to_s` output with children with whitespace before their quantifier
  * e.g. `parse(/a + /x).to_s` used to yield `"a+  "`, now it yields `"a + "`
  * calling `#to_s` on sub-nodes still omits such decorative interludes by default
    - use new `#to_s` format `:original` to include it
    - e.g. `parse(/a + /x)[0].to_s(:original) # => "a +"`
- fixed `Subexpression#te` behaving differently from other expressions
  * only `Subexpression#te` used to include the quantifier
  * now `#te` is the end index without quantifier, as for other expressions
- fixed `NoMethodError` when calling `#starts_at` or `#ts` on empty sequences
  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/|/)[0].starts_at`
  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/[&&]/)[0][0].starts_at`
- fixed nested comment groups breaking local x-options
  * e.g. in `/(?x:(?#hello)) /`, the x-option wrongly applied to the whitespace
- fixed nested comment groups breaking conditionals
  * e.g. in `/(a)(?(1)b|c(?#hello)d)e/`, the 2nd conditional branch included "e"
- fixed quantifiers after comment groups being mis-assigned to that group
  * e.g. in `/a(?#foo){3}/` (matches 'aaa')
- fixed Scanner accepting two cases of invalid Regexp syntax
  * unmatched closing parentheses (`)`) and k-backrefs with number 0 (`\k<0>`)
  * these are a `SyntaxError` in Ruby, so could only be passed as a String
  * they now raise a `Regexp::Scanner::ScannerError`
- fixed some scanner errors not inheriting from `Regexp::Scanner::ScannerError`
- reduced verbosity of inspect / pretty print output

## [2.7.0] - 2023-02-08 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Regexp::Lexer.lex` now streams tokens when called with a block
  * it can now take arbitrarily large input, just like `Regexp::Scanner`
  * this also slightly improves `Regexp::Parser.parse` performance
  * note: `Regexp::Parser.parse` still does not and will not support streaming
- improved performance of `Subexpression#each_expression`
- minor improvements to `Regexp::Scanner` performance
- overall improvement of parse performance: about 10% for large Regexps

### Fixed

- parsing of octal escape sequences in sets, e.g. `[\141]`
  * thanks to [Randy Stauner](https://github.com/rwstauner) for the report

## [2.6.2] - 2023-01-19 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed `SystemStackError` when cloning recursive subexpression calls
  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/a|b\g<0>/).dup`

## [2.6.1] - 2022-11-16 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed scanning of two negative lookbehind edge cases
  * `(?<!x)y>` used to raise a ScannerError
  * `(?<!x>)y` used to be misinterpreted as a named group
  * thanks to [Sergio Medina](https://github.com/serch) for the report

## [2.6.0] - 2022-09-26 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed `#referenced_expression` for `\g<0>` (was `nil`, is now the `Root` exp)
- fixed `#reference`, `#referenced_expression` for recursion level backrefs
  * e.g. `(a)(b)\k<-1+1>`
  * `#referenced_expression` was `nil`, now it is the correct `Group` exp
- detect and raise for two more syntax errors when parsing String input
  * quantification of option switches (e.g. `(?i)+`)
  * invalid references (e.g. `/\k<1>/`)
  * these are a `SyntaxError` in Ruby, so could only be passed as a String

### Added

- `Regexp::Expression::Base#human_name`
  * returns a nice, human-readable description of the expression
- `Regexp::Expression::Base#optional?`
  * returns `true` if the expression is quantified accordingly (e.g. with `*`, `{,n}`)
- added a deprecation warning when calling `#to_re` on set members

## [2.5.0] - 2022-05-27 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- `Regexp::Expression::Base.construct` and `.token_class` methods
  * see the [wiki](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/wiki) for details

## [2.4.0] - 2022-05-09 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed interpretation of `+` and `?` after interval quantifiers (`{n,n}`)
  * they used to be treated as reluctant or possessive mode indicators
  * however, Ruby does not support these modes for interval quantifiers
  * they are now treated as chained quantifiers instead, as Ruby does it
  * c.f. [#3](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/issues/3)
- fixed `Expression::Base#nesting_level` for some tree rewrite cases
  * e.g. the alternatives in `/a|[b]/` had an inconsistent nesting_level
- fixed `Scanner` accepting invalid posix classes, e.g. `[[:foo:]]`
  * they raise a `SyntaxError` when used in a Regexp, so could only be passed as String
  * they now raise a `Regexp::Scanner::ValidationError` in the `Scanner`

### Added

- added `Expression::Base#==` for (deep) comparison of expressions
- added `Expression::Base#parts`
  * returns the text elements and subexpressions of an expression
  * e.g. `parse(/(a)/)[0].parts # => ["(", #<Literal @text="a"...>, ")"]`
- added `Expression::Base#te` (a.k.a. token end index)
  * `Expression::Subexpression` always had `#te`, only terminal nodes lacked it so far
- made some `Expression::Base` methods available on `Quantifier` instances, too
  * `#type`, `#type?`, `#is?`, `#one_of?`, `#options`, `#terminal?`
  * `#base_length`, `#full_length`, `#starts_at`, `#te`, `#ts`, `#offset`
  * `#conditional_level`, `#level`, `#nesting_level` , `#set_level`
  * this allows a more unified handling with `Expression::Base` instances
- allowed `Quantifier#initialize` to take a token and options Hash like other nodes
- added a deprecation warning for initializing Quantifiers with 4+ arguments:

    Calling `Expression::Base#quantify` or `Quantifier.new` with 4+ arguments
    is deprecated.

    It will no longer be supported in regexp_parser v3.0.0.

    Please pass a Regexp::Token instead, e.g. replace `token, text, min, max, mode`
    with `::Regexp::Token.new(:quantifier, token, text)`. min, max, and mode
    will be derived automatically.

    Or do `exp.quantifier = Quantifier.construct(token: token, text: str)`.

    This is consistent with how Expression::Base instances are created.


## [2.3.1] - 2022-04-24 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- removed five inexistent unicode properties from `Syntax#features`
  * these were never supported by Ruby or the `Regexp::Scanner`
  * thanks to [Markus Schirp](https://github.com/mbj) for the report

## [2.3.0] - 2022-04-08 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- improved parsing performance through `Syntax` refactoring
  * instead of fresh `Syntax` instances, pre-loaded constants are now re-used
  * this approximately doubles the parsing speed for simple regexps
- added methods to `Syntax` classes to show relative feature sets
  * e.g. `Regexp::Syntax::V3_2_0.added_features`
- support for new unicode properties of Ruby 3.2 / Unicode 14.0

## [2.2.1] - 2022-02-11 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed Syntax version of absence groups (`(?~...)`)
  * the lexer accepted them for any Ruby version
  * now they are only recognized for Ruby >= 2.4.1 in which they were introduced
- reduced gem size by excluding specs from package
- removed deprecated `test_files` gemspec setting
- no longer depend on `yaml`/`psych` (except for Ruby <= 2.4)
- no longer depend on `set`
  * `set` was removed from the stdlib and made a standalone gem as of Ruby 3
  * this made it a hidden/undeclared dependency of `regexp_parser`

## [2.2.0] - 2021-12-04 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- added support for 13 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 3.1.0

## [2.1.1] - 2021-02-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed `NameError` when requiring only `'regexp_parser/scanner'` in v2.1.0
  * thanks to [Jared White and Sam Ruby](https://github.com/ruby2js/ruby2js) for the report

## [2.1.0] - 2021-02-22 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Added

- common ancestor for all scanning/parsing/lexing errors
  * `Regexp::Parser::Error` can now be rescued as a catch-all
  * the following errors (and their many descendants) now inherit from it:
    - `Regexp::Expression::Conditional::TooManyBranches`
    - `Regexp::Parser::ParserError`
    - `Regexp::Scanner::ScannerError`
    - `Regexp::Scanner::ValidationError`
    - `Regexp::Syntax::SyntaxError`
  * it replaces `ArgumentError` in some rare cases (`Regexp::Parser.parse('?')`)
  * thanks to [sandstrom](https://github.com/sandstrom) for the cue

### Fixed

- fixed scanning of whole-pattern recursion calls `\g<0>` and `\g'0'`
  * a regression in v2.0.1 had caused them to be scanned as literals
- fixed scanning of some backreference and subexpression call edge cases
  * e.g. `\k<+1>`, `\g<x-1>`
- fixed tokenization of some escapes in character sets
  * `.`, `|`, `{`, `}`, `(`, `)`, `^`, `$`, `?`, `+`, `*`
  * all of these correctly emitted `#type` `:literal` and `#token` `:literal` if *not* escaped
  * if escaped, they emitted e.g. `#type` `:escape` and `#token` `:group_open` for `[\(]`
  * the escaped versions now correctly emit `#type` `:escape` and `#token` `:literal`
- fixed handling of control/metacontrol escapes in character sets
  * e.g. `[\cX]`, `[\M-\C-X]`
  * they were misread as bunch of individual literals, escapes, and ranges
- fixed some cases where calling `#dup`/`#clone` on expressions led to shared state

## [2.0.3] - 2020-12-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed error when scanning some unlikely and redundant but valid charset patterns
  * e.g. `/[[.a-b.]]/`, `/[[=e=]]/`,
- fixed ancestry of some error classes related to syntax version lookup
  * `NotImplementedError`, `InvalidVersionNameError`, `UnknownSyntaxNameError`
  * they now correctly inherit from `Regexp::Syntax::SyntaxError` instead of Rubys `::SyntaxError`

## [2.0.2] - 2020-12-25 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed `FrozenError` when calling `#to_s` on a frozen `Group::Passive`
  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon)

## [2.0.1] - 2020-12-20 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fixed error when scanning some group names
  * this affected names containing hyphens, digits or multibyte chars, e.g. `/(?<a1>a)/`
  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon) for the report
- fixed error when scanning hex escapes with just one hex digit
  * e.g. `/\x0A/` was scanned correctly, but the equivalent `/\xA/` was not
  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon) for the report

## [2.0.0] - 2020-11-25 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Changed

- some methods that used to return byte-based indices now return char-based indices
  * the returned values have only changed for Regexps that contain multibyte chars
  * this is only a breaking change if you used such methods directly AND relied on them pointing to bytes
  * affected methods:
  * `Regexp::Token` `#length`, `#offset`, `#te`, `#ts`
  * `Regexp::Expression::Base` `#full_length`, `#offset`, `#starts_at`, `#te`, `#ts`
  * thanks to [Akinori MUSHA](https://github.com/knu) for the report
- removed some deprecated methods/signatures
  * these are rarely used and have been showing deprecation warnings for a long time
  * `Regexp::Expression::Subexpression.new` with 3 arguments
  * `Regexp::Expression::Root.new` without a token argument
  * `Regexp::Expression.parsed`

### Added

- `Regexp::Expression::Base#base_length`
  * returns the character count of an expression body, ignoring any quantifier
- pragmatic, experimental support for chained quantifiers
  * e.g.: `/^a{10}{4,6}$/` matches exactly 40, 50 or 60 `a`s
  * successive quantifiers used to be silently dropped by the parser
  * they are now wrapped with passive groups as if they were written `(?:a{10}){4,6}`
  * thanks to [calfeld](https://github.com/calfeld) for reporting this a while back

### Fixed

- incorrect encoding output for non-ascii comments
  * this led to a crash when calling `#to_s` on parse results containing such comments
  * thanks to [Michael Glass](https://github.com/michaelglass) for the report
- some crashes when scanning contrived patterns such as `'\😋'`

### [1.8.2] - 2020-10-11 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)

### Fixed

- fix `FrozenError` in `Expression::Base#repetitions` on Ruby 3.0
  * thanks to [Thomas Walpole](https://github.com/twalpole)
- removed "unknown future version" warning on Ruby 3.0

### [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::Base#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::Base#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::Base#repetitions`
  * returns a `Range` of allowed repetitions (`1..1` if there is no quantifier)
  * like `#quantity` but with a more uniform interface
- Added `Expression::Base#match_length`
  * allows to inspect and iterate over String lengths matched by the Expression

### Fixed

- Fixed `Expression::Base#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)
