Release Notes
rust-lang/regex (regex)
Compare Source
==================
This is a patch release that fixes a bug where (?-u:\B)
was allowed in
Unicode regexes, despite the fact that the current matching engines can report
match offsets between the code units of a single UTF-8 encoded codepoint. That
in turn means that match offsets that split a codepoint could be reported,
which in turn results in panicking when one uses them to slice a &str
.
This bug occurred in the transition to regex 1.8
because the underlying
syntactical error that prevented this regex from compiling was intentionally
removed. That's because (?-u:\B)
will be permitted in Unicode regexes in
regex 1.9
, but the matching engines will guarantee to never report match
offsets that split a codepoint. When the underlying syntactical error was
removed, no code was added to ensure that (?-u:\B)
didn't compile in the
regex 1.8
transition release. This release, regex 1.8.4
, adds that code
such that Regex::new(r"(?-u:\B)")
returns to the regex <1.8
behavior of
not compiling. (A bytes::Regex
can still of course compile it.)
Bug fixes:
- BUG #1006:
Fix a bug where
(?-u:\B)
was allowed in Unicode regexes, and in turn could
lead to match offsets that split a codepoint in &str
.
Compare Source
==================
This is a patch release that fixes a bug where the regex would report a
match at every position even when it shouldn't. This could occur in a very
small subset of regexes, usually an alternation of simple literals that
have particular properties. (See the issue linked below for a more precise
description.)
Bug fixes:
- BUG #999:
Fix a bug where a match at every position is erroneously reported.
Compare Source
==================
This is a patch release that fixes a bug where regex compilation could panic
in debug mode for regexes with large counted repetitions. For example,
a{2147483516}{2147483416}{5}
resulted in an integer overflow that wrapped
in release mode but panicking in debug mode. Despite the unintended wrapping
arithmetic in release mode, it didn't cause any other logical bugs since the
errant code was for new analysis that wasn't used yet.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #995:
Fix a bug where regex compilation with large counted repetitions could panic.
==================
This is a patch release that fixes a bug where a regex match could be reported
where none was found. Specifically, the bug occurs when a pattern contains some
literal prefixes that could be extracted and an optional word boundary in the
prefix.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #981:
Fix a bug where a word boundary could interact with prefix literal
optimizations and lead to a false positive match.
==================
This is a sizeable release that will be soon followed by another sizeable
release. Both of them will combined close over 40 existing issues and PRs.
This first release, despite its size, essentially represents preparatory work
for the second release, which will be even bigger. Namely, this release:
- Increases the MSRV to Rust 1.60.0, which was released about 1 year ago.
- Upgrades its dependency on
aho-corasick
to the recently released 1.0
version.
- Upgrades its dependency on
regex-syntax
to the simultaneously released
0.7
version. The changes to regex-syntax
principally revolve around a
rewrite of its literal extraction code and a number of simplifications and
optimizations to its high-level intermediate representation (HIR).
The second release, which will follow ~shortly after the release above, will
contain a soup-to-nuts rewrite of every regex engine. This will be done by
bringing regex-automata
into
this repository, and then changing the regex
crate to be nothing but an API
shim layer on top of regex-automata
's API.
These tandem releases are the culmination of about 3
years of on-and-off work that began in earnest in March
2020.
Because of the scale of changes involved in these releases, I would love to
hear about your experience. Especially if you notice undocumented changes in
behavior or performance changes (positive or negative).
Most changes in the first release are listed below. For more details, please
see the commit log, which reflects a linear and decently documented history
of all changes.
New features:
- FEATURE #501:
Permit many more characters to be escaped, even if they have no significance.
More specifically, any ASCII character except for
[0-9A-Za-z<>]
can now be
escaped. Also, a new routine, is_escapeable_character
, has been added to
regex-syntax
to query whether a character is escapeable or not.
- FEATURE #547:
Add
Regex::captures_at
. This filles a hole in the API, but doesn't otherwise
introduce any new expressive power.
- FEATURE #595:
Capture group names are now Unicode-aware. They can now begin with either a
_
or any "alphabetic" codepoint. After the first codepoint, subsequent codepoints
can be any sequence of alpha-numeric codepoints, along with _
, .
, [
and
]
. Note that replacement syntax has not changed.
- FEATURE #810:
Add
Match::is_empty
and Match::len
APIs.
- FEATURE #905:
Add an
impl Default for RegexSet
, with the default being the empty set.
- FEATURE #908:
A new method,
Regex::static_captures_len
, has been added which returns the
number of capture groups in the pattern if and only if every possible match
always contains the same number of matching groups.
- FEATURE #955:
Named captures can now be written as
(?<name>re)
in addition to
(?P<name>re)
.
- FEATURE:
regex-syntax
now supports empty character classes.
- FEATURE:
regex-syntax
now has an optional std
feature. (This will come
to regex
in the second release.)
- FEATURE: The
Hir
type in regex-syntax
has had a number of simplifications
made to it.
- FEATURE:
regex-syntax
has support for a new R
flag for enabling CRLF
mode. This will be supported in regex
proper in the second release.
- FEATURE:
regex-syntax
now has proper support for "regex that never
matches" via Hir::fail()
.
- FEATURE: The
hir::literal
module of regex-syntax
has been completely
re-worked. It now has more documentation, examples and advice.
- FEATURE: The
allow_invalid_utf8
option in regex-syntax
has been renamed
to utf8
, and the meaning of the boolean has been flipped.
Performance improvements:
- PERF: The upgrade to
aho-corasick 1.0
may improve performance in some
cases. It's difficult to characterize exactly which patterns this might impact,
but if there are a small number of longish (>= 4 bytes) prefix literals, then
it might be faster than before.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #514:
Improve
Debug
impl for Match
so that it doesn't show the entire haystack.
- BUGS #516,
#731:
Fix a number of issues with printing
Hir
values as regex patterns.
- BUG #610:
Add explicit example of
foo|bar
in the regex syntax docs.
- BUG #625:
Clarify that
SetMatches::len
does not (regretably) refer to the number of
matches in the set.
- BUG #660:
Clarify "verbose mode" in regex syntax documentation.
- BUG #738,
#950:
Fix
CaptureLocations::get
so that it never panics.
- BUG #747:
Clarify documentation for
Regex::shortest_match
.
- BUG #835:
Fix
\p{Sc}
so that it is equivalent to \p{Currency_Symbol}
.
- BUG #846:
Add more clarifying documentation to the
CompiledTooBig
error variant.
- BUG #854:
Clarify that
regex::Regex
searches as if the haystack is a sequence of
Unicode scalar values.
- BUG #884:
Replace
__Nonexhaustive
variants with #[non_exhaustive]
attribute.
- BUG #893:
Optimize case folding since it can get quite slow in some pathological cases.
- BUG #895:
Reject
(?-u:\W)
in regex::Regex
APIs.
- BUG #942:
Add a missing
void
keyword to indicate "no parameters" in C API.
- BUG #965:
Fix
\p{Lc}
so that it is equivalent to \p{Cased_Letter}
.
- BUG #975:
Clarify documentation for
\pX
syntax.
Compare Source
==================
This is a small release that fixes a bug in Regex::shortest_match_at
that
could cause it to panic, even when the offset given is valid.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #969:
Fix a bug in how the reverse DFA was called for
Regex::shortest_match_at
.
Compare Source
==================
This is a small release that fixes a failing test on FreeBSD.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #967:
Fix "no stack overflow" test which can fail due to the small stack size.
Compare Source
==================
This release was done principally to try and fix the doc.rs rendering for the
regex crate.
Performance improvements:
- PERF #930:
Optimize
replacen
. This also applies to replace
, but not replace_all
.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #945:
Maybe fix rustdoc rendering by just bumping a new release?

This release includes a few bug fixes, including a bug that produced incorrect
matches when a non-greedy ?
operator was used.
- BUG #680:
Fixes a bug where
[[:alnum:][:^ascii:]]
dropped [:alnum:]
from the class.
- BUG #859:
Fixes a bug where
Hir::is_match_empty
returned false
for \b
.

Fixes a bug where 'ab??' matches 'ab' instead of 'a' in 'ab'.
Compare Source
==================
This releases fixes a security bug in the regex compiler. This bug permits a
vector for a denial-of-service attack in cases where the regex being compiled
is untrusted. There are no known problems where the regex is itself trusted,
including in cases of untrusted haystacks.
- SECURITY #GHSA-m5pq-gvj9-9vr8:
Fixes a bug in the regex compiler where empty sub-expressions subverted the
existing mitigations in place to enforce a size limit on compiled regexes.
