16
17[h4 Boost.Regex-5.1.4 (Boost-172.0)]
18
19* Minor build fixes, see [@https://github.com/boostorg/regex/issues/89 #89].
20
21[h4 Boost.Regex-5.1.3 (Boost-1.64.0)]
22
23* Compiling with Oracle C++ toolset is no longer restricted to static linking.
24* Big effort to de-fuzz the library using libFuzzer and fix identified issues, see:  [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12818 #12818].
25
26[h4 Boost.Regex-5.1.2 (Boost-1.62.0)]
27
28
29* Fix buffer over-run error when parsing certain invalid regexes, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12222 #12222].
30* Fix detection of ICU in library build, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12152 #12152].
31* Fix bug in case sensitivity change, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11940 #11940].
32* Allow types wider than int in `\x{}` expressions (for char32_t etc), see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11988 #11988].
33
34[h4 Boost.Regex-5.1.1 (Boost-1.61.0)]
35
36* Change to lockfree implementation of memory cache, see [@https://github.com/boostorg/regex/pull/23 PR#23].
37
38[h4 Boost.Regex-5.1.0 (Boost-1.60.0)]
39
40* Add support for Perl's backtracking control verbs, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11205 #11205].  Note however, that
41(*MARK) and operations on marks are not currently supported.
42* Fix incorrect range end when matching \[\[:unicode:\]\], see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11524 #11524].
43* Change POSIX reg_comp API to not check potentially uninitialized memory, note that code which was previously free from memory
44leaks (but none the less buggy, as it didn't call reg_free) will now leak.  See [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11472 #11472].
45* Make sub_match a valid C++ range type, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11036 #11036].

56
57
58[h4 Boost.Regex-5.0.0 (Boost-1.56.0)]
59
60* Moved to library-specific version number post the move to Git.  And since we have one (minor) breaking change
61this gets bumped up from v4 to v5.
62* [*Breaking change:] corrected behavior of `basic_regex<>::mark_count()` to match existing documentation,
63`basic_regex<>::subexpression(n)` changed to match, see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9227 #9227]
64* Fixed issue [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8903 #8903].
65* Fixed documentation typos from [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9283 #9283].
66* Fixed bug in collation code that failed if the locale generated collation strings with embedded nul's,
67see [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9451 #9451].

119
120[h4 Boost 1.42]
121
122* Added support for Functors rather than strings as format expressions.
123* Improved error reporting when throwing exceptions to include better more relevant information.
124* Improved performance and reduced stack usage of recursive expressions.
125* Fixed tickets
126[@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2802 #2802],

136
137[h4 Boost 1.40]
138
139* Added support for many Perl 5.10 syntax elements including named
140sub-expressions, branch resets and recursive regular expressions.
141
142[h4 Boost 1.38]
143
144* [*Breaking change]: empty expressions, and empty alternatives are now
145allowed when using the Perl regular expression syntax.  This change has
146been added for Perl compatibility, when the new [syntax_option_type]
147['no_empty_expressions] is set then the old behaviour is preserved and
148empty expressions are prohibited.  This is issue
149[@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1081 #1081].
150* Added support for Perl style ${n} expressions in format strings
151(issue [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2556 #2556]).
152* Added support for accessing the location of sub-expressions within the
153regular expression string
154(issue [@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2269 #2269]).
155* Fixed compiler compatibility issues
156[@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2244 #2244],
157[@https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2514 #2514],

160
161
162[h4 Boost 1.34]
163
164* Fix for non-greedy repeats and partial matches not working correctly in some cases.
165* Fix for non-greedy repeats on VC++ not working in some cases (bug report 1515830).
166* Changed match_results::position() to return a valid result when *this represents a partial match.
167* Fixed the grep and egrep options so that the newline character gets treated the same as |.
168
169[h4 Boost 1.33.1]
170
171* Fixed broken makefiles.
172* Fixed configuration setup to allow building with VC7.1 - STLport-4.6.2 when using /Zc:wchar_t.
173* Moved declarations class-inline in static_mutex.hpp so that SGI Irix compiler can cope.
174* Added needed standard library #includes to fileiter.hpp, regex_workaround.hpp and cpp_regex_traits.hpp.
175* Fixed a bug where non-greedy repeats could in certain strange circumstances repeat more times than their maximum value.
176* Fixed the value returned by basic_regex<>::empty() from a default constructed object.
177* Changed the definition of regex_error to make it backwards compatible with Boost-1.32.0.
178* Disabled external templates for Intel C++ 8.0 and earlier - otherwise unresolved references can occur.
179* Rewritten extern template code for gcc so that only specific member functions are exported: otherwise strange unresolved references can occur when linking and mixing debug and non-debug code.
180* Initialise all the data members of the unicode_iterators: this keeps gcc from issuing needless warnings.
181* Ported the ICU integration code to VC6 and VC7.
182* Ensured code is STLport debug mode clean.
183* Fixed lookbehind assertions so that fixed length repeats are permitted, and so that regex iteration allows lookbehind to look back before the current search range (into the last match).
184* Fixed strange bug with non-greedy repeats inside forward lookahead assertions.
185* Enabled negated character classes inside character sets.
186* Fixed regression so that [a-z-] is a valid expression again.
187* Fixed bug that allowed some invalid expressions to be accepted.
188
189[h4 Boost 1.33.0]
190
191* Completely rewritten expression parsing code, and traits class support; now conforms to the standardization proposal.
192* Breaking Change: The syntax options that can be passed to basic_regex constructors have been rationalized.  The default option (perl) now has a value of zero, and it is now clearly documented which options apply to which regular expression syntax styles (perl, POSIX-extended, POSIX-basic etc).  Some of the more esoteric options have now been removed, so there is the possibility that existing code may fail to compile: however equivalent functionality should still be available.
193* Breaking Change: POSIX-extended and POSIX-basic regular expressions now enforce the letter of the POSIX standard much more closely than before.
194* Added support for (?imsx-imsx) constructs.
195* Added support for lookbehind expressions (?<=positive-lookbehind) and (?<!negative-lookbehind).
196* Added support for conditional expressions (?(assertion)true-expression|false-expression).
197* Added MFC/ATL string wrappers.
198* Added Unicode support; based on ICU.
199* Changed newline support to recognise \\f as a line separator (all character types), and \\x85 as a line separator for wide characters / Unicode only.
200* Added a new format flag format_literal that treats the replace string as a literal, rather than a Perl or Sed style format string.
201* Errors are now reported by throwing exceptions of type regex_error. The types used previously - bad_expression and bad_pattern - are now just typedefs for regex_error. Type regex_error has a couple of new members: code() to report an error code rather than a string, and position() to report where in the expression the error occurred.
202
203[h4 Boost 1.32.1]
204
205* Fixed bug in partial matches of bounded repeats of '.'.
206
207[h4 Boost 1.31.0]
208
209* Completely rewritten pattern matching code - it is now up to 10 times faster than before.
210* Reorganized documentation.
211* Deprecated all interfaces that are not part of the regular expression standardization proposal.
212* Added regex_iterator and regex_token_iterator .
213* Added support for Perl style independent sub-expressions.
214* Added non-member operators to the sub_match class, so that you can compare sub_match's with strings, or add them to a string to produce a new string.
215* Added experimental support for extended capture information.
216* Changed the match flags so that they are a distinct type (not an integer), if you try to pass the match flags as an integer rather than match_flag_type to the regex algorithms then you will now get a compiler error.
