-- reverted REPEAT operator to use "repeat context" strategy
(from 0.8.X), but done right this time.
-- got rid of backtracking stack; use nested SRE_MATCH calls
instead (should probably put it back again in 0.9.9 ;-)
-- properly reset state in scanner mode
-- don't use aggressive inlining by default
+ added "regs" attribute
+ fixed "pos" and "endpos" attributes
+ reset "lastindex" and "lastgroup" in scanner methods
+ removed (?P#id) syntax; the "lastindex" and "lastgroup"
attributes are now always set
+ removed string module dependencies in sre_parse
+ better debugging support in sre_parse
+ various tweaks to build under 1.5.2
used by the code generator)
- changed max repeat value in engine (to match earlier array fix)
- added experimental "which part matched?" mechanism to sre; see
http://hem.passagen.se/eff/2000_07_01_bot-archive.htm#416954
or python-dev for details.
-- changed 1.6 to 2.0 in the file headers
-- fixed ISALNUM macro for the unicode locale. this
solution isn't perfect, but the best I can do with
Python's current unicode database.
-- added pickling support (only works if sre is imported)
-- fixed wordsize problems in engine
(instead of casting literals down to the character size,
cast characters up to the literal size (same as the code
word size). this prevents false hits when you're matching
a unicode pattern against an 8-bit string. (unfortunately,
this broke another test, but I think the test should be
changed in this case; more on that on python-dev)
-- added sre.purge function
(unofficial, clears the cache)
(those semantics are weird...)
- got rid of $Id$'s (for the moment, at least). in other
words, there should be no more "empty" checkins.
- internal: some minor cleanups.
(test_sre still complains about split, but that's caused by
the group reset bug, not split itself)
- added more mark slots
(should be dynamically allocated, but 100 is better than 32.
and checking for the upper limit is better than overwriting
the memory ;-)
- internal: renamed the cursor helper class
- internal: removed some bloat from sre_compile
search() functions didn't even work because _fixflags() isn't
idempotent. I'm adding another stop-gap measure so that you can at
least use sre.search() and sre.match() with a zero flags arg.
