1.0.0

This release marks the 1.0 release of regex.

While this release includes some breaking changes, most users of older versions
of the regex library should be able to migrate to 1.0 by simply bumping the
version number. The important changes are as follows:

• We adopt Rust 1.20 as the new minimum supported version of Rust for regex.
  We also tentativley adopt a policy that permits bumping the minimum supported
  version of Rust in minor version releases of regex, but no patch releases.
  That is, with respect to semver, we do not strictly consider bumping the
  minimum version of Rust to be a breaking change, but adopt a conservative
  stance as a compromise.
• Octal syntax in regular expressions has been disabled by default. This
  permits better error messages that inform users that backreferences aren't
  available. Octal syntax can be re-enabled via the corresponding option on
  RegexBuilder.
• (?-u:\B) is no longer allowed in Unicode regexes since it can match at
  invalid UTF-8 code unit boundaries. (?-u:\b) is still allowed in Unicode
  regexes.
• The From<regex_syntax::Error> impl has been removed. This formally removes
  the public dependency on regex-syntax.
• A new feature, use_std, has been added and enabled by default. Disabling
  the feature will result in a compilation error. In the future, this may
  permit us to support no_std environments (w/ alloc) in a backwards
  compatible way.

1.0 release tracking issue.

0.2.7

This release includes a ground-up rewrite of the regex-syntax crate, which has
been in development for over a year.

New features:

• Error messages for invalid regexes have been greatly improved. You get these
  automatically; you don't need to do anything. In addition to better
  formatting, error messages will now explicitly call out the use of look
  around. When regex 1.0 is released, this will happen for backreferences as
  well.
• Full support for intersection, difference and symmetric difference of
  character classes. These can be used via the &&, -- and ~~ binary
  operators within classes.
• A Unicode Level 1 conformat implementation of \p{..} character classes.
  Things like \p{scx:Hira}, \p{age:3.2} or \p{Changes_When_Casefolded}
  now work. All property name and value aliases are supported, and properties
  are selected via loose matching. e.g., \p{Greek} is the same as
  \p{G r E e K}.
• A new UNICODE.md document has been added to this repository that
  exhaustively documents support for UTS#18.
• Empty sub-expressions are now permitted in most places. That is, ()+ is
  now a valid regex.
• Almost everything in regex-syntax now uses constant stack space, even when
  performing anaylsis that requires structural induction. This reduces the risk
  of a user provided regular expression causing a stack overflow.
• FEATURE #174:
  The Ast type in regex-syntax now contains span information.
• FEATURE #424:
  Support \u, \u{...}, \U and \U{...} syntax for specifying code points
  in a regular expression.
• FEATURE #449:
  Add a Replace::by_ref adapter for use of a replacer without consuming it.

Bug fixes:

• BUG #446:
  We re-enable the Boyer-Moore literal matcher.

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.)
