Version: 2022.7.24
Git issue 474: regex has no equivalent to re.Match.groups() for captures
Added 'allcaptures' and 'allspans' methods to match objects.
Fixed bug where compiling a pattern didn't always check for unused arguments.

Added \h as an alias to [[:blank:]].
Version: 2020.6.7
Git issue 376: Is the \L option as efficient as it can be?
Improved performance of string sets.
Version: 2020.6.7
Git issue 376: Is the \L option as efficient as it can be?

Version: 2020.5.14
Git issue 372: Regression from 2020.4.4 -> 2020.5.7 in non-fuzzy matching pattern
Changed the 'state' member that's tested in is_repeat_guarded for a fuzzy match. The previously-used member wasn't initialised in a non-fuzzy match. The new test is a better one to use anyway.
Version: 2020.5.13
Git issue 371: Specifying character set when fuzzy-matching allows characters not in the set
fuzzy_ext_match and fuzzy_ext_match_group_fld didn't support sets!

REPEAT_ONE was backtracking in the wrong direction, so it never hit the limit.
Version: 2019.4.14
Hg issue 327: .fullmatch() causes MemoryError
For fullmatch, added check for end/start of string for RE_OP_SUCCESS in try_match.
Version: 2019.4.12
Missing brace in 'state_fini'.
Version: 2019.4.10

Additional fix for regex_3/regex.py.
Hg issue 326: Version is out of sync with PyPI
Version: 2019.3.12
Hg issue 319: Support for a timespan parameter

Version: 2018.11.22
Hg issue 304: Unreasonable edge case that used to work
Now moves the minimum number of repeats out of a repeat if it contains a repeat. This allows a repeat guard to be put back, which reduces the chance of catastrophic backtracking.

Fixed bug introduced by broken workflow.
Version: 2018.11.6

Version: 2018.11.3
Hg issue 299
Reworked the fix to perform a normal match and then fall back to a partial match if that was originally requested.
Version: 2018.11.2

Version: 2017.1.17
Hg issue 230: Is it a bug of (?(DEFINE)...)
Capture groups in (?(DEFINE)...) shouldn't be treated as 'visible' capture groups by .findall.
Version: 2017.1.14
Hg issue 227: Performance trap of (?V1i) flags
Further improvements. It now tries to split full case-folded literals into simple and full case-folded literals where full case-folding isn't needed because simple case-folding is faster.
Version: 2017.1.13
Hg issue 227: Performance trap of (?V1i) flags
Version: 2016.12.27

Version: 2016.10.22
Hg issue 221: Got an exception using PyPy
pypy2-v5.4.1 appears not to support the buffer protocol on bytestrings (str in Python 2), so added code to handle them analogously to how unicode strings are handled.
Version: 2016.10.20
Make setup use setuptools if it's available.
Version: 2016.10.12
Hg issue 221: Got an exception using PyPy
Added check for error in fold_case which, I hope, will reveal the exception that it's not reporting.
Version: 2016.9.22
Hg issue 220: Misbehavior of group capture with OR operand
Repeats should not be factored out of branches because a branch should be exhausted before trying the next one.
Version: 2016.9.13
Also supported on Python 3.6.
Version: 2016.8.27
Hg issue 219: Unicode word boundries

Further tweaks re error handling.
Version: 2016.6.14
Hg issue 213: Segmentation Fault
Info about atomic groups wasn't pushed properly.
Version: 2016.6.5
Hg issue 212: Unexpected matching difference with .*? between re and regex
In 'add_repeat_guards', it wasn't propagating the status from the tail back towards the head across default nodes, so the guards weren't always correct.
Version: 2016.6.2
Hg issue 211: Segmentation fault with recursive matches and atomic groups
It wasn't saving the call frame and then restoring it when backtracking out of atomic groups.
Version: 2016.5.23
Hg issue 206: Incompatible with re if single { in the pattern
Brought the regex module's handling more in line with the re module. It now more readily treats an invalid fuzzy constraint as a literal.
Version: 2016.5.15
Hg issue 208: Named list, (?ri) flags, Backreference
Fixed more issues with the alignment of text in a buffer when using named lists.
Also changed how a compiled regex is pickled to use a bytestring for the packed code list. (It was actually pickling an unpacked list of ints.)
Version: 2016.5.14
Hg issue 205: Named list and (?ri) flags
string_set_match_ign_fwdrev wasn't taking into account that it fills the folded buffer from the end when searching in reverse.

Removed copies of groups that weren't called.
Version: 2016.4.3
Hg issue 197: ValueError in regex.compile
Hg issue 198: ValueError in regex.compile
It wasn't catching ValueError and then raising regex.error.
Version: 2016.4.2
Hg issue 196: Fuzzy matching on repeated regex not working as expected
Also reduced memory usage of pickle data.
Version: 2016.3.31
# Hg issue #194: .FULLCASE and Backreference
Capture groups failed to match when using full case folding because of a bug in the handling of "I", which needs to be treated specially to cope with the Turkic I).
Version: 2016.3.26
Hg issue #193: Alternation and .REVERSE flag.
The firstset before a branch was at the wrong end for a reverse pattern.
Added back some tests that were accidentally omitted.
Version: 2016.3.24
Hg issue 192: Named lists reverse matching doesn't work with IGNORECASE and V1
string_set_match_fld_fwdrev wasn't taking into account that it fills the folded buffer from the end when searching in reverse.
Version: 2016.3.2
Hg issue 190: Regression? Neverending regexp when upgrading to latest version.
The fix for Hg issue 187 wasn't quite right. Managed to remove recursion entirely from 'add_repeat_guards'.
Version: 2016.2.25
Hg issue 188: Crash during search
Stopped calling 'try_match' recursively when the tail of a branch is a branch. Increasing alternatives to 40000 caused the stack to overflow.
Version: 2016.2.24
Hg issue 187: Crash on Anaconda Python if large number of pattern
Remove the recursion in 'use_nodes'. Increasing alternatives to 50000 caused the stack to overflow.
Version: 2016.2.23
Hg issue 187: Crash on Anaconda Python if large number of pattern
Reduced the amount of recursion in 'add_repeat_guards'. The large number of alternatives (25154) caused the stack to overflow.
Version: 2016.1.10
Hg issue 177: Build fails on pypy (OS X 10.11, clang)
Stripped out the #if...#endif that was added for Hg issue 135, which is no longer needed by more recent versions of PyPy.

Hg issue 180: bug of POSIX matching
Fixed bug where the groups aren't always correct with POSIX matching.
Version: 2015.11.14
Hg issue 172: Performance of V1 mode
Fixed bug where RE_FLAG_FULLCASE not turned off when RE_FLAG_IGNORECASE turned off, leading to omission of first set.
Version: 2015.11.12
Hg issue 171: Weird performance of V1 mode
Fixed bug where RE_FLAG_FULLCASE not turned off when RE_FLAG_IGNORECASE turned off for required string, leading to required string not being used.
