Changes by version
Add Regex.to_embed/2 which returns an embeddable representation of regex in another regex
Raise error message when regexes are used as default values in struct fields for compatibility with Erlang/OTP 28
Fix Regex.split/2 returning too many results when the chunk being split on was empty (which can happen when using features such as /K)
Ensure compatibility with Erlang/OTP 28+ new Regex engine
Regex.regex?/1 is deprecated in favor of Kernel.is_struct/2
Show list options when inspecting a Regex manually defined with Regex.compile/2
Add offset option to Regex.scan/3 and Regex.run/3
Regex.regex?/1 is deprecated in favor of Kernel.is_struct/2
Ensure dynamic recompilation of regexes considers options. This fixes an issue where parsing the protocol in URI.parse/1 seemingly looked case sensitive when running Elixir precompiled on another machine
Automatically recompile regexes
Ensure inspect returns valid ~r// expressions when they are manually compiled with backslashes
Include endianness in the regex version. This allows regexes to be recompiled when an archive is installed in a system with a different endianness
Return a leading empty space when splitting on empty pattern. This makes the split operation consistent with the other operations in the Regex module
Fix inspect/2 for regexes with / terminator in them
Add recompile/1 and recompile!/1 to ease transition to OTP 20 for archives and stored regexes
Ensure Regex.escape/1 also escapes -
Support :include_captures in Regex.split/3
The option /r (for ungreedy) has been deprecated in favor of /U
Fix splitting of empty strings with regexes when trim is set to true. Now both String.split/3 and Regex.split/3 return an empty list when called with an empty string and trim is enabled
Fix Regex.replace/4 so it doesn't discard escape characters
Ungreedy option r is deprecated in favor of U (which is standard in regular expressions in other languages)
Fix Regex.replace/4 failures when the number of substitutions in pattern is more than the number of matches and support \g{...} patterns
Do not consider include captures on Regex.split/3 results
Do not consider include captures on Regex.split/3 results
Properly escape regex (previously regex controls were double escaped)
Support functions in Regex.replace/4
Deprecate :global option in Regex.split/3 in favor of parts: :infinity
Regex.groups/1 is deprecated in favor of Regex.names/1
Regexes are no longer unicode by default. Instead, they must be explicitly marked with the u option
Regexes no longer need the "g" option when there is a need to use named captures
Fix bug on Regex.scan/3 when capturing groups and the regex has no groups
Regex.captures/3 is deprecated in favor of Regex.named_captures/3
Allow erlang re options when compiling Elixir regexes
Regex.scan/3 now always returns a list of lists, normalizing the result, instead of list with mixed lists and binaries
