[VOTE] Release Regexp 1.5
Hi All,
With 5 recent bug fixes [1], one *major* speed improvement for {m,n} closures
[2], with other various optimizations to compiler and runtime, and with previous
release published sometime back in 2005 [3], now is the best, or at the very
least, really good time to to cut next, 1.5 release of the venerable Jakarta
Regexp package.
Please try out current svn (r517970) version [4] and test for any regressions,
and vote for a release. Regexp test suite can be run by issuing 'ant test' in
the checkout directory, and does not take even 3 seconds to complete.
Interactive testing can be done by using applet version [5].
The only known incompatibility with Regexp 1.4 is that pre-compiled RE programs
created with 'recompile' utility [6] for patterns containing reluctant closures
are not compatible with trunk. But, that should not be a problem since they did
not work correctly before anyway [7].
My vote for the release is +1.
Thanks,
Vadim
