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.
