regex v1.4.5 Release Notes

Release Date: 2021-03-14 // about 3 years ago

  • 🚀 This is a small patch release that fixes a regression in the size of a Regex 🚀 in the 1.4.4 release. Prior to 1.4.4, a Regex was 552 bytes. In the 1.4.4 🚀 release, it was 856 bytes due to internal changes. In this release, a Regex is now 16 bytes. In general, the size of a Regex was never something that was 🚀 on my radar, but this increased size in the 1.4.4 release seems to have crossed a threshold and resulted in stack overflows in some programs.

    • BUG #750: Fixes stack overflows seemingly caused by a large Regex size by decreasing its size.
