# 0.4.0

Released 2022/10/20

## Removed

* The deprecated nightly and cppfilt features are gone.

## Changed

* If no-default-features is used the alloc feature must be explicitly specified.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 0.3.6

Released 2022/10/20

## Added

* The non-deprecated versions of noexcept are supported. #273

* Most of the subobject production that clang uses is supported. #273

## Changed

* Rust 2018 is now used. #251

* cppfilt now uses clap 4.0. #271

## Fixed

* no_std works. #251

* Inheriting constructors no longer produce substitutable values. #272

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.5

Released 2021/12/02

## Changed

* The LLVM mangling for vector types with a dimension expression is now
  supported. The libiberty mangling which appears to be unused by gcc has
  been removed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.4

Released 2021/11/21

## Added

* `DemangleOptions` now has a `hide_expression_literal_types` method that
  can make it easier to match user-provided template instance names. #230

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.3

Released 2021/7/8

## Added

* The builtin `char8_t` type is now recognized #224

## Changed

* `glob` is no longer a build time dependency #220

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.2

Released 2020/11/27

## Added

* `ParseOptions` is introduced, with new API variants `Symbol::new_with_options`
  and `Symbol::with_tail_and_options`. The existing APIs use the default parsing
  options.
* Recursion limits are now configurable via `ParseOptions` and `DemangleOptions`.
* Transaction clone symbols are supported #217

## Changed

* The default parsing recursion limit is now 96 (up from 64). The value was
  chosen to avoid pathological symbols overflowing the stack of a debug build.
  Users may be able to safely raise the limits substantially depending on their
  expected workload and tolerance for crashes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.1

Released 2020/10/09

## Added

* Java Resource symbols are now supported #200

## Fixed

* C++ reference collapsing rules are honored.
* Misc style fixes.

## Changed

* DemangleOptions is now repr(C)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.3.0

Released 2020/06/11

## Changed

* The DemangleOptions API has changed to be more future-proof and the
  DemangleNodeType enum now has an __NonExhaustive variant to discourage
  pattern matching without a `_ => ()` arm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.17

Released 2020/06/09

## Added

* Return types can now be elided from demangled symbols via
  DemangleOptions::no_return_typ. #202

* A vtable marker is now emitted for semantic consumers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.16

Released 2020/05/13

## Added

* Block invocation symbols. #197

* The spaceship operator <=>. #198

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.15

Released 2020/04/24

## Added

* A C API to cpp_demangle is now available. #191

* Additional AST markers are emitted for semantic consumers. #189

## Fixed

* Multiple clone suffixes are now supported. #194

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.14

Released 2019/11/15

## Fixed

* Certain symbols can have cyclic back references, or at least very deep stacks
  of back references. Many of those symbols are valid! But as a practical
  implementation to avoid stack overflows and infinite loops, we now place a
  limit on the depth of back references we will follow. This is similar to the
  parse limit that we already had, but for a different phase of the
  demangling. [#186]https://github.com/gimli-rs/cpp_demangle/pull/186

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.13

Released 2019/07/30

## Fixed

* Fix parsing of outdated `sr` forms that prevented parsing other symbols. See
  #173 for details.

* Ensures a space is printed before a `&` or `&&` reference qualifier. #176

* Fixed placement of parentheses in symbols with function pointer arguments that
  have `const` qualifiers. #175

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.12

Released 2018/08/09

## Fixed

* *Actually* fixed builds using `no-default-features = true` to not accidentally
  enable `no_std` mode, which requires nightly rust, and break builds on
  non-nightly channels. Enabling the `no_std` mode now requires disabling the
  `std` feature *and* enabling the `alloc` feature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.11

Released 2018/08/09

## Fixed

* Fixed builds using `no-default-features = true` to not accidentally enable
  `no_std` mode, which requires nightly rust, and break builds on non-nightly
  channels. Enabling the `no_std` mode now requires disabling the `std` feature
  *and* enabling the `alloc` feature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.10

Released 2018/08/08

## Added

* Added support for `no_std`! This currently requires nightly Rust's `alloc`
  feature to get access to `BTreeMap`. Enable `no_std` support by building
  without the on-by-default `std` feature. [#148][]

## Fixed

* Fixed formatting of some conversion operators. [#149][]
* Fixed parsing some tricky symbols with template argument packs that came out
  of boost. [#150][] [#152][]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.9

Released 2018/05/14

## Fixed

* Fixed a few issues with parentheticals.
* Should not force recompilation via build.rs for every compile anymore (bug
  introduced in 0.2.8 when trying to make the package that is distributed on
  crates.io smaller).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.8

Released 2018/05/11

Bug fixes, more `libiberty` tests passing, and we can now parse and demangle all
but one symbol from Firefox's `libxul`:

```
Total number of libxul symbols:                       274346
Number of libxul symbols parsed:                      274345 (100.00%)
Number of libxul symbols demangled:                   274345 (100.00%)
Number of libxul symbols demangled same as libiberty: 227259 (82.84%)
```

## Fixed

* AFL.rs fuzzing integration is fixed for the new AFL.rs releases.
* Fixed formatting of constructors and destructors.
* Fixed parsing of the `<function-param>` production.
* Fixed parsing of call expression productions.
* Parsing an operator's operands will only parse as many operands as the
  operator's arity, instead of as many as it can.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.7

Released 2017/11/27

Making lots of progress on symbols found in the wild! Here are our stats for
symbols from Firefox's `libxul`:

```
Total number of libxul symbols:                       274346
Number of libxul symbols parsed:                      274319 (99.99%)
Number of libxul symbols demangled:                   274319 (99.99%)
Number of libxul symbols demangled same as libiberty: 199928 (72.88%)
```

Additionally, the `libiberty` test threshold bumped up from 70 to 83 during this
release.

## Added

* Added support for GCC's "global constructors" and "global destructors"
  extensions.
* Added support for GCC's extensions to the `<special-name>` production:
  construction vtables, typeinfo functions, TLS initialization functions, TLS
  wrapper functions.
* Added support for the now-defunct `<local-source-name>` production. My
  understanding is that this is from an older version of the ABI standard. It
  isn't in the current version, but all the other demanglers support it, so we
  will too.

## Changed

* `cpp_demangle` is now part of the `gimli-rs` GitHub organization. The
  canonical repository is now https://github.com/gimli-rs/cpp_demangle
* Literals are now formatted how `libiberty` formats them. For example,
  `foo<true>()` rather than `foo<1>()`.
* Unary operators are now formatted with parentheses, matching `libiberty`.

## Fixed

* Nested array types and multi-dimensional arrays are now mangled correctly.
* Nested function types and their qualifiers are now mangled correctly.
* Arrays of function types and function types with array return and parameter
  types are now mangled correctly.
* The `new` operator is now correctly formatted as `operator new` rather than
  `operatornew`. Same for the `delete` operator.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# 0.2.6

Released 2017/11/08

## Added

* Added support for vector types
* Added support for ABI tags
* Added support for `<unqualified-name> ::= <closure-type-name>` productions

## Fixed

* Fixed erroneous insertions into the substitutions table with prefixes and
  nested names
* Well known components were previously incorrectly not permitted to prefix
  template arguments
