# Change Log
## [Unreleased][unreleased]
### Thanks
### Added
### Fixed
## 5.0.0 - ?
This version comes with a complete rewrite of nom internals to use functions as a base
for parsers, instead of macros. Macros have been updated to use functions under
the hood, so that most existing parsers will work directly or require minimal changes.
The `CompleteByteSlice` and `CompleteStr` input types were removed. To get different
behaviour related to streaming or complete input, there are different versions of some
parsers in different submodules, like `nom::character::streaming::alpha0` and
`nom::character::complete::alpha0`.
The `verbose-errors` feature is gone, now the error type is decided through a generic
bound. To get equivalent behaviour to `verbose-errors`, check out `nom::error::VerboseError`
### Thanks
- @lowenheim helped in refactoring and error management
- @Keruspe helped in refactoring and fixing tests
- @pingiun, @Songbird0, @jeremystucki, @BeatButton, @NamsooCho, @Waelwindows, @rbtcollins, @MarkMcCaskey for a lot of help in rewriting the documentation and adding code examples
- @GuillaumeGomez for documentation rewriting and checking
- @iosmanthus for bug fixes
- @lo48576 for error management fixes
- @vaffeine for macros visibility fixes
- @webholik and @Havvy for `escaped` and `escaped_transform` fixes
- @proman21 for help on porting bits parsers
### Added
- the `VerboseError` type accumulates position info and error codes, and can generate a trace with span information
- the `lexical-core` crate is now used by default (through the `lexical` compilation feature) to parse floats from text
- documentation and code examples for all functions and macros
### Changed
- nom now uses functions instead of macros to generate parsers
- macros now use the functions under the hood
- the minimal Rust version is now 1.31
- the verify combinator's condition function now takes its argument by reference
- `cond` will now return the error of the parser instead of None
- `alpha*`, `digit*`, `hex_digit*`, `alphanumeric*` now recognize only ASCII characters
### Removed
- deprecated string parsers (with the `_s` suffix), the normal version can be used instead
- `verbose-errors` is not needed anymore, now the error type can be decided when writing the parsers, and parsers provided by nom are generic over the error type
- `AtEof`, `CompleteByteSlice` and `CompleteStr` are gone, instead some parsers are specialized to work on streaming or complete input, and provided in different modules
- character parsers that were aliases to their `*1` version: eol, alpha, digit, hex_digit, oct_digit, alphanumeric, space, multispace
- `count_fixed` macro
- `whitespace::sp` can be replaced by `character::complete::multispace0`
- method combinators are now in the nom-methods crate
- `take_until_either`, `take_until_either1`, `take_until_either_and_consume` and `take_until_either_and_consume1`: they can be replaced with `is_not` (possibly combined with something else)
- `take_until_and_consume`, `take_until_and_consume1`: they can be replaced with `take_until` combined with `take`
- `sized_buffer` and `length_bytes!`: they can be replaced with the `length_data` function
- `non_empty`, `begin` and `rest_s` function
- `cond_reduce!`, `cond_with_error!`, `closure!`, `apply`, `map_res_err!`, `expr_opt!`, `expr_res!`
- `alt_complete`, `separated_list_complete`, `separated_nonempty_list_complete`

- error conversions are more ergonomic
- method combinators are now deprecated. They might be moved to a separate crate
- nom now specifies Rust 1.24.1 as minimum version. This was already the case before, now it is made explicit
### Added
- `many0_count` abd `many1_count` to count applications of a parser instead of
accumulating its results in a `Vec`
### Fixed
- overflow in the byte wrapper for bit level parsers
- `f64` parsing does not use `transmute` anymore

- `u128` and `i128` parsers in big and little endian modes
- support for `pub(crate)` syntax
- `map_res_err!` combinator that appends the error of its argument function in verbose errors mode
### Fixed
- lots of unused imports warnings were removed
- the `bytes` combinator was not compiling in some cases
- the big and little endian combinators now work without external imports
- CI is now faster and uses less cache

### Breaking changes
- the `IResult` type now becomes a `Result` from the standard library
- `Incomplete` now returns the additional data size needed, not the total data size needed
- verbose-errors is now a superset of basic errors
- all the errors now include the related input slice
- the arguments from `error_position` and other such macros were swapped to be more consistent with the rest of nom
- automatic error conversion: to fix error type inference issues, a custom error type must now implement `std::convert::From<u32>`
- the `not!` combinator returns unit `()`
- FindToken's calling convention was swapped
- the `take_*` combinators are now more coherent and stricter, see commit 484f6724ea3ccb for more information
- `many0` and other related parsers will now return `Incomplete` if the reach the end of input without an error of the child parser. They will also return `Incomplete` on an empty input
- the `sep!` combinator for whitespace only consumes whitespace in the prefix, while the `ws!` combinator takes care of consuming the remaining whitespace
### Added
- the `AtEof` trait for input type: indicate if we can get more input data later (related to streaming parsers and `Incomplete` handling)
- the `escaped*` parsers now support the `&str`input type
- the `Failure` error variant represents an unrecoverable error, for which `alt` and other combinators will not try other branches. This error means we got in the right part of the code (like, a prefix was checked correctly), but there was an error in the following parts
- the `CompleteByteSlice` and `CompleteStr` input types consider there will be no more refill of the input. They fixed the `Incomplete` related issues when we have all of the data
- the `exact!()` combinator will fail if we did not consume the whole input
- the `take_while_m_n!` combinator will match a specified number of characters
- `ErrorKind::TakeUntilAndConsume1`
- the `recognize_float` parser will match a float number's characters, but will not transform to a `f32` or `f64`
- `alpha` and other basic parsers are now much stricter about partial inputs. We also introduce the `*0` and `*1` versions of those parsers
- `named_args` can now specify the input type as well
- `HexDisplay` is now implemented for `&str`
- `alloc` feature
- the `InputTakeAtposition` trait allows specialized implementations of parsers like `take_while!`
### Removed
- the producers and consumers were removed
- the `error_code` and `error_node` macros are not used anymore
### Fixed
- `anychar!` now works correctly with multibyte characters
- `take_until_and_consume1!` no longer results in "no method named \`find_substring\`" and "no method named \`slice\`" compilation errors
- `take_until_and_consume1!` returns the correct Incomplete(Needed) amount
- `no_std` compiles properly, and nom can work with `alloc` too
- `parse_to!` now consumes its input
### Changed
- `alt` and other combinators will now clone the input if necessary. If the input is already `Copy` there is no performance impact
- the `rest` parser now works on various input types
- `InputIter::Item` for `&[u8]` is now a `u8` directly, not a reference
- we now use the `compile_error` macro to return a compile time error if there was a syntax issue
- the permutation combinator now supports optional child parsers
- the float numbers parsers have been refactored to use one common implementation that is nearly 2 times faster than the previous one
- the float number parsers now accept more variants
## 3.2.1 - 2017-10-27
### Thanks
- @ordian for `alt_complete` fixes
- @friedm for documentation fixes
- @kali for improving error management
### Fixed
- there were cases where `alt_complete` could return `Incomplete`
### Added
- an `into_error_kind` method can be used to transform any error to a common value. This helps when the library is included multiple times as dependency with different feature sets
## 3.2.0 - 2017-07-24
### Thanks
- @jedireza for documentation fixes
- @gmorenz for the `bytes` combinator
- @meh for character combinator fixes for UTF-8
- @jethrogb for avoiding move issues in `separated_list`
### Changed
- new layout for the main page of documentation
- `anychar` can now work on any input type
- `length_bytes` is now an alias for `length_data`
### Fixed
- `one_of`, `none_of` and `char` will now index correctly UTF-8 characters
- the `compiler_error` macro is now correctly exported
### Added
- the `bytes` combinator transforms a bit stream back to a byte slice for child parsers
## 3.1.0 - 2017-06-16
### Thanks
- @sdroege: implementing be_i24 and le_i24
- @Hywan: integrating faster substring search using memchr
- @nizox: fixing type issues in bit stream parsing
- @grissiom: documentation fixes
- @doomrobo: implementing separated_list_complete and separated_nonempty_list_complete
- @CWood1: fixing memchr integration in no_std
- @lu_zero: integrating the compiler_error crate
- @dtolnay: helping debug a type inference issue in map
### Changed
- memchr is used for substring search if possible
- if building on nightly, some common syntax errors will display a specific error message. If building no stable, display the documentation to activate those messages
- `count` no longer preallocates its vector
### Fixed
- better type inference in alt_complete
- `alt` should now work with whitespace parsing
- `map` should not make type inference errors anymore
### Added
- be_i24 and le_i24, parsing big endian and little endian signed 24 bit integers
- `separated_list_complete` and `separated_nonempty_list_complete` will treat incomplete from sub parsers as error
## 3.0.0 - 2017-05-12
### Thanks
- Chris Pick for some `Incomplete` related refactors
- @dbrgn for documentation fixes
- @valarauca for adding `be_u24`
- @ithinuel for usability fixes
- @evuez for README readability fixes and improvements to `IResult`

- @chengsun for type inference fixes in `alt`
- @iBelieve for adding str to no_std
- @Hywan for simplifying code in input traits
- @azerupi for extensive documentation of `alt` and `alt_complete`
### Breaking Changes
- `escaped`, `separated_list` and `separated_nonempty_list` can now return `Incomplete` when necessary
- `InputIter` does not require `AsChar` on its `Item` type anymore
- the `core` feature that was putting nom in `no_std` mode has been removed. There is now a `std` feature, activated by default. If it is not activated, nom is in `no_std`
- in `verbose-errors` mode, the error list is now stored in a `Vec` instead of a box based linked list
- `chain!` has finally been removed
### Changed
- `Endianness` now implements `Debug`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `Clone` and `Copy`
- custom input types can now be cloned if they're not `Copy`
- the infamous 'Cannot infer type for E' error should happen less often now
- `str` is now available in `no_std` mode
### Fixed
- `FileProducer` will be marked as `Eof` on full buffer
- `named_args!` now has lifetimes that cannot conflict with the lifetimes from other arguments
### Added
- `be_u24`: big endian 24 bit unsigned integer parsing
- `IResult` now has a `unwrap_or` method
## 2.2.1 - 2017-04-03
### Thanks
- @Victor-Savu for formatting fixes in the README
- @chifflier for detecting and fixing integer overflows
- @utkarshkukreti for some performance improvements in benchmarks
### Changed
- when calculating how much data is needed in `IResult::Incomplete`, the addition could overflow (it is stored as a usize). This would apparently not result in any security vulnerability on release code
## 2.2.0 - 2017-03-20
### Thanks
- @seppo0010 for fixing `named_args`
- @keruspe for implementing or() on `IResult`, adding the option of default cases in `switch!`, adding support for `cargo-travis`
- @timlyo for documentation fixes
- @JayKickliter for extending `hex_u32`
- @1011X for fixing regex integration
- @Kerollmops for actually marking `chain!` as deprecated
- @joliss for documentation fixes
- @utkarshkukreti for tests refactoring and performance improvement
- @tmccombs for documentation fixes
### Added
- `IResult` gets an `or()` method
- `take_until1`, `take_until_and_consume1`, `take_till1!` and `take_till1_s!` require at least 1 character
### Changed
- `hex_u32` accepts uppercase digits as well
- the character based combinators leverage the input traits
- the whitespace parsers now work on &str and other types
- `take_while1` returns `Incomplete` on empty input
- `switch!` can now take a default case
### Fixed
- `named_args!` now imports `IResult` directly
- the upgrade to regex 0.2 broke the regex combinators, they work now
## 2.1.0 - 2017-01-27
### Thanks
- @nickbabcock for documentation fixes
- @derekdreery for documentation fixes
- @DirkyJerky for documentation fixes
- @saschagrunert for documentation fixes
- @lucab for documentation fixes
- @hyone for documentation fixes
- @tstorch for factoring `Slice`
- @shepmaster for adding crate categories
- @antoyo for adding `named_args!`
### Added
- `verify!` uses a first parser, then applies a function to check that its result satisfies some conditions
- `named_args!` creates a parser function that can accept other arguments along with the input
- `parse_to!` will use the `parse` method from `FromStr` to parse a value. It will automatically translate the input to a string if necessary
- `float`, `float_s`, `double`, `double_s` can recognize floating point numbers in text
### Changed
- `escaped!` will now return `Incomplete` if needed
- `permutation!` supports up to 20 child parsers
## 2.0.1 - 2016-12-10
Bugfix release
*Warning*: there is a small breaking change, `add_error!` is renamed to `add_return_error!`. This was planned for the 2.0 release but was forgotten. This is a small change in a feature that not many people use, for a release that is not yet widely in use, so there will be no 3.0 release for that change.
### Thanks
- @nickbabcock for catching and fixing the `add_error!` mixup
- @lucab for documentation fixes
- @jtdowney for noticing that `tag_no_case!` was not working at all for byte slices
### Fixed
- `add_error!` has been renamed to `add_return_error!`
- the `not!` combinator now accepts functions
- `tag_no_case!` is now working as accepted (before, it accepted everything)
## 2.0 - 2016-11-25
The 2.0 release is one of the biggest yet. It was a good opportunity to clean up some badly named combinators and fix invalid behaviours.
Since this version introduces a few breaking changes, an [upgrade documentation](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/upgrading_to_nom_2.md) is available, detailing the steps to fix the most common migration issues. After testing on a set of 30 crates, most of them will build directly, a large part will just need to activate the "verbose-errors" compilation feature. The remaining fixes are documented.
This version also adds a lot of interesting features, like the permutation combinator or whitespace separated formats support.
### Thanks
- @lu-zero for license help
- @adamgreig for type inference fixes
- @keruspe for documentation and example fixes, for the `IResult => Result` conversion work, making `AsChar`'s method more consistent, and adding `many_till!`
- @jdeeny for implementing `Offset` on `&str`
- @vickenty for documentation fixes and his refactoring of `length_value!` and `length_bytes!`
- @overdrivenpotato for refactoring some combinators
- @taralx for documentation fixes
- @keeperofdakeys for fixing eol behaviour, writing documentation and adding `named_attr!`
- @jturner314 for writing documentation
- @bozaro for fixing compilation errors
- @uniphil for adding a `crates.io` badge
- @badboy for documentation fixes
- @jugglerchris for fixing `take_s!`
- @AndyShiue for implementing `Error` and `Display` on `ErrorKind` and detecting incorrect UTF-8 string indexing
### Added
- the "simple" error management system does not accumulates errors when backtracking. This is a big perf gain, and is activated by default in nom 2.0
- nom can now work on any type that implement the traits defined in `src/traits.rs`: `InputLength`, `InputIter`, `InputTake`, `Compare`, `FindToken`, `FindSubstring`, `Slice`
- the documentation from Github's wiki has been moved to the `doc/` directory. They are markdown files that you can build with [cargo-external-doc](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-external-doc)
- whitespace separated format support: with the `ws!` combinator, you can automatically introduce whitespace parsers between all parsers and combinators
- the `permutation!` combinator applies its child parsers in any order, as long as they all succeed once, and return a tuple of the results
- `do_parse!` is a simpler alternative to `chain!`, which is now deprecated
- you can now transform an `IResult` in a `std::result::Result`
- `length_data!` parses a length, and returns a subslice of that length
- `tag_no_case!` provides case independent comparison. It works nicely, without any allocation, for ASCII strings, but for UTF-8 strings, it defaults to an unsatisfying (and incorrect) comparison by lowercasing both strings
- `named_attr!` creates functions like `named!` but can add attributes like documentation
- `many_till!` applies repeatedly its first child parser until the second succeeds
### Changed
- the "verbose" error management that was available in previous versions is now activated by the "verbose-errors" compilation feature
- code reorganization: most of the parsers were moved in separate files to make the source easier to navigate
- most of the combinators are now independent from the input type
- the `eof` function was replaced with the `eof!` macro
- `error!` and `add_error!` were replaced with `return_error!` and `add_return_error!` to fix the name conflict with the log crate
- the `offset()` method is now in the `Offset` trait
- `length_value!` has been renamed to `length_count!`. The new `length_value!` selects a slice and applies the second parser once on that slice
- `AsChar::is_0_to_9` is now `AsChar::is_dec_digit`
- the combinators with configurable endianness now take an enum instead of a boolean as parameter
### Fixed
- the `count!`, `count_fixed!` and `length_*!` combinator calculate incomplete data needs correctly
- `eol`, `line_ending` and `not_line_ending` now have a consistent behaviour that works correctly with incomplete data
- `take_s!` didn't correctly handle the case when the slice is exactly the right length
## 1.2.4 - 2016-07-20
### Thanks
- @Phlosioneer for documentation fixes
- @sourrust for fixing offsets in `take_bits!`
- @ChrisMacNaughton for the XFS crate
- @pwoolcoc for `rest_s`
- @fitzgen for more `IResult` methods
- @gtors for the negative lookahead feature
- @frk1 and @jeandudey for little endian float parsing
- @jethrogb for fixing input usage in `many1`
- @acatton for beating me at nom golf :D
### Added
- the `rest_s` method on `IResult` returns the remaining `&str` input
- `unwrap_err` and `unwrap_inc` methods on `IResult`
- `not!` will peek at the input and return `Done` if the underlying parser returned `Error` or `Incomplete`, without consuming the input
- `le_f32` and `le_f64` parse little endian floating point numbers (IEEE 754)
-
### Fixed
- documentation fixes
- `take_bits!` is now more precise
- `many1` inccorectly used the `len` function instead of `input_len`
- the INI parser is simpler
- `recognize!` had an early `return` that is removed now
## 1.2.3 - 2016-05-10
### Thanks
- @lu-zero for the contribution guidelines
- @GuillaumeGomez for fixes on `length_bytes` and some documentation
- @Hywan for documentation and test fixes
- @Xirdus for correct trait import issues
- @mspiegel for the new AST example
- @cholcombe973 for adding the `cond_with_error!` combinator
- @tstorch for refactoring `many0!`
- @panicbit for the folding combinators
- @evestera for `separated_list!` fixes
- @DanielKeep for correcting some enum imports
### Added
- Regular expression combinators starting with `re_bytes_` work on byte slices
- example parsing arithmetic expressions to an AST
- `cond_with_error!` works like `cond!` but will return `None` if the condition is false, and `Some(value)` if the underlying parser succeeded
- `fold_many0!`, `fold_many1!` and `fold_many_m_n!` will take a parser, an initial value and a combining function, and fold over the successful applications of the parser
### Fixed
- `length_bytes!` converts the result of its child parser to usize
- `take_till!` now imports `InputLength` instead of assuming it's in scope
- `separated_list!` and `separated_nonempty_list!` will not consume the separator if there's no following successfully parsed value
- no more warnings on build
### Changed
- simpler implementation of `many0!`
## 1.2.2 - 2016-03-09
### Thanks
- @conradev for fixing `take_until_s!`
- @GuillaumeGomez for some documentation fixes
- @frewsxcv for some documentation fixes
- @tstorch for some test refactorings
### Added
- `nom::Err` now implements `std::error::Error`
### Fixed
- `hex_u32` does not parses more than 8 chars now
- `take_while!` and `take_while1!` will not perturb the behaviour of `recognize!` anymore
## 1.2.1 - 2016-02-23
### Thanks
- @sourrust for adding methods to `IResult`
- @tstorch for the test refactoring, and for adding methods to `IResult` and `Needed`
- @joelself for fixing the method system
### Added
- mapping methods over `IResult` and `Needed`
### Changed
- `apply_rf` is renamed to `apply_m`. This will not warrant a major version, since it is part missing from the methods feture added in the 1.2.0 release
- the `regexp_macros` feature that used `regex!` to precompile regular expressions has been replaced by the normal regex engine combined with `lazy_static`
### Fixed
- when a parser or combinator was returning an empty buffer as remaining part, it was generating one from a static empty string. This was messing with buffer offset calculation. Now, that empty slice is taken like this: `&input[input.len()..]`.
- The `regexp_macros` and `no_std` feature build again and are now tested with Travis CI
## 1.2.0 - 2016-02-08
### Thanks
- @zentner-kyle for type inference fixes
- @joelself for his work on `&str` parsing and method parsers
- @GuillaumeGomez for implementing methods on `IResult`
- @dirk for the `alt_complete!` combinator
- @tstorch for a lot of refactoring work and unit tests additions
- @jansegre for the hex digit parsers
- @belgum for some documentation fixes
- @lwandrebeck for some documentation fixes and code fixes in `hex_digit`
### Added
- `take_until_and_consume_s!` for consumption of string data until a tag
- more function patterns in `named!`. The error type can now be specified
- `alt_complete!` works like the `alt!` combinator, but tries the next branch if the current one returned `Incomplete`, instead of returning directly
- more unit tests for a lot of combinators
- hexadecimal digit parsers
- the `tuple!` combinator takes a list of parsers as argument, and applies them serially on the input. If all of them are successful, it willr eturn a tuple accumulating all the values. This combinator will (hopefully) replace most uses of `chain!`
- parsers can now be implemented as a method for a struct thanks to the `method!`, `call_m!` and `apply_rf!` combinators
### Fixed
- there were type inference issues in a few combinators. They will now be easier to compile
- `peek!` compilation with bare functions
- `&str` parsers were splitting data at the byte level, not at the char level, which can result in inconsistencies in parsing UTF-8 characters. They now use character indexes
- some method implementations were missing on `IResult<I,O,E>` (with specified error type instead of implicit)
## 1.1.0 - 2016-01-01
This release adds a lot of features related to `&str` parsing. The previous versions
were focused on `&[u8]` and bit streams parsing, but there's a need for more text
parsing with nom. The parsing functions like `alpha`, `digit` and others will now
accept either a `&[u8]` or a `&str`, so there is no breaking change on that part.
There are also a few performance improvements and documentation fixes.
### Thanks
- @Binero for pushing the work on `&str` parsing
- @meh for fixing `Option` and `Vec` imports
- @hoodie for a documentation fix
- @joelself for some documentation fixes
- @vberger for his traits magic making nom functions more generic
### Added
- string related parsers: `tag_s!`, `take_s!`, `is_a_s!`, `is_not_s!`, `take_while_s!`, `take_while1_s!`, `take_till_s!`
- `value!` is a combinator that always returns the same value. If a child parser is passed as second argument, that value is returned when the child parser succeeds
### Changed
- `tag!` will now compare even on partial input. If it expects "abcd" but receives "ef", it will now return an `Error` instead of `Incomplete`
- `many0!` and others will preallocate a larger vector to avoid some copies and reallocations
- `alpha`, `digit`, `alphanumeric`, `space` and `multispace` now accept as input a `&[u8]` or a `&str`. Additionally, they return an error if they receive an empty input
- `take_while!`, `take_while1!`, `take_while_s!`, `take_while1_s!` wilreturn an error on empty input
### Fixed
- if the child parser of `many0!` or `many1!` returns `Incomplete`, it will return `Incomplete` too, possibly updating the needed size
- `Option,` `Some`, `None` and `Vec` are now used with full path imports
## 1.0.1 - 2015-11-22
This releases makes the 1.0 version compatible with Rust 1.2 and 1.3

- Producers and consumers have been replaced. The new implementation uses less memory and integrates more with parsers
- `nom::ErrorCode` is now `nom::ErrorKind`
- `filter!` has been renamed to `take_while!`
- `chain!` will count how much data is consumed and use that number to calculate how much data is needed if a parser returned `Incomplete`
- `alt!` returns `Incomplete` if a child parser returned `Incomplete`, instead of skipping to the next parser
- `IResult` does not require a lifetime tag anymore, yay!
### Added
- `complete!` will return an error if the child parser returned `Incomplete`
- `add_error!` will wrap an error, but allow backtracking
- `hex_u32` parser
### Fixed

- `chain!` calculates how much data is needed if one of the parsers returns `Incomplete
- optional parsers in `chain!` can return `Incomplete`
## 0.4.0 - 2015-09-08
Considering the number of changes since the last release, this version can contain breaking changes, so the version number becomes 0.4.0. A lot of new features and performance improvements!
### Thanks
- @frewsxcv for documentation fixes
- @ngrewe for his work on producers and consumers
- @meh for fixes on `chain!` and for the `rest` parser
- @daboross for refactoring `many0!` and `many1!`
- @aleksander for the `switch!` combinator idea
- @TechnoMancer for his help with bit level parsing
- @sxeraverx for pointing out a bug in `is_a!`
### Fixed
- `count_fixed!` must take an explicit type as argument to generate the fixed-size array
- optional parsing behaviour in `chain!`
- `count!` can take 0 elements
- `is_a!` and `is_not!` can now consume the whole input
### Added
- it is now possible to seek to the end of a `MemProducer`
- `opt!` returns `Done(input, None)` if `the child parser returned `Incomplete`
- `rest` will return the remaining input
- consumers can now seek to and from the end of input
- `switch!` applies a first parser then matches on its result to choose the next parser
- bit-level parsers
- character-level parsers
- regular expression parsers
- implementation of `take_till!`, `take_while!` and `take_while1!`
### Changed
- `alt!` can return `Incomplete`
- the error analysis functions will now take references to functions instead of moving them
- performance improvements on producers
- performance improvement for `filter!`
- performance improvement for `count!`: a `Vec` of the right size is directly allocated
## 0.3.11 - 2015-08-04
### Thanks
- @bluss for remarking that the crate included random junk lying non commited in my local repository
### Fixed
- cleanup of my local repository will ship less files in the crates, resulting in a smaller download
## 0.3.10 - 2015-08-03
### Added
- `bits!` for bit level parsing. It indicates that all child parsers will take a `(&[u8], usize)`as input, with the second parameter indicating the bit offset in the first byte. This allows viewing a byte slice as a bit stream. Most combinators can be used directly under `bits!`
- `take_bits!` takes an integer type and a number of bits, consumes that number of bits and updates the offset, possibly by crossing byte boundaries
- bit level parsers are all written in `src/bits.rs`
### Changed
- Parsers that specifically handle bytes have been moved to src/bytes.rs`. This applies to `tag!`, `is_not!`, `is_a!`, `filter!`, `take!`, `take_str!`, `take_until_and_consume!`, `take_until!`, `take_until_either_and_consume!`, `take_until_either!`
## 0.3.9 - 2015-07-20
### Thanks
- @badboy for fixing `filter!`
- @idmit for some documentation fixes
### Added
- `opt_res!` applies a parser and transform its result in a Result. This parser never fails
- `cond_reduce!` takes an expression as parameter, applies the parser if the expression is true, and returns an error if the expression is false
- `tap!` pass the result of a parser to a block to manipulate it, but do not affect the parser's result
- `AccReader` is a Read+BufRead that supports data accumulation and partial consumption. The `consume` method must be called afterwardsto indicate how much was consumed
- Arithmetic expression evaluation and parsing example
- `u16!`, `u32!`, `u64!`, `i16!`, `i32!`, `i64!` take an expression as parameter, if the expression is true, apply the big endian integer parser, if false, the little endian version
- type information for combinators. This will make the documentation a bit easier to navigate
### Fixed
- `map_opt!` and `map_res!` had issues with argument order due to bad macros
- `delimited!` did not compile for certain combinations of arguments
- `filter!` did not return a byte slice but a fixed array
## 0.3.8 - 2015-07-03
### Added
- code coverage is now calculated automatically on Travis CI
- `Stepper`: wrap a `Producer`, and call the method `step` with a parser. This method will buffer data if there is not enough, apply the parser if there is, and keep the rest of the input in memory for the next call
- `ReadProducer`: takes something implementing `Read`, and makes a `Producer` out of it
### Fixed
- the combinators `separated_pair!` and `delimited!` did not work because an implementation macro was not exported
- if a `MemProducer` reached its end, it should always return `Eof`
- `map!` had issues with argument matching
## 0.3.7 - 2015-06-24
### Added
- `expr_res!` and `expr_opt!` evaluate an expression returning a Result or Opt and convert it to IResult
- `AsBytes` is implemented for fixed size arrays. This allows `tag!([41u8, 42u8])`
### Fixed
- `count_fixed!` argument parsing works again
## 0.3.6 - 2015-06-15
### Added
- documentation for a few functions
- the consumer trait now requires the `failed(&self, error_code)` method in case of parsing error
- `named!` now handles thge alternative `named!(pub fun_name<OutputType>, ...)`
### Fixed
- `filter!` now returns the whole input if the filter function never returned false
- `take!` casts its argument as usize, so it can accepts any integer type now
## 0.3.5 - 2015-06-10
### Thanks
- @cmr for some documentation fixes
### Added
- `count_fixed!` returns a fixed array
### Fixed
- `count!` is back to the previous behaviour, returning a `Vec` for sizes known at runtime
### Changed
- functions and traits exported from `nom::util` are now directly in `nom::`
## 0.3.4 - 2015-06-09
### Thanks
- @andrew-d for fixes on `cond!`
- @keruspe for features in `chain!`
### Added
- `chain!` can now have mutable fields
### Fixed
- `cond!` had an infinite macro recursion
### Changed
- `chain!` generates less code now. No apprent compilation time improvement
## 0.3.3 - 2015-06-09
### Thanks
- @andrew-d for the little endian signed integer parsers
- @keruspe for fixes on `count!`
### Added
- `le_i8`, `le_i16`, `le_i32`, `le_i64`: little endian signed integer parsers
### Changed
- the `alt!` parser compiles much faster, even with more than 8 branches
- `count!` can now return a fixed size array instead of a growable vector
## 0.3.2 - 2015-05-31
### Thanks
- @keruspe for the `take_str` parser and the function application combinator
### Added
- `take_str!`: takes the specified number of bytes and return a UTF-8 string
- `apply!`: do partial application on the parameters of a function
### Changed
- `Needed::Size` now contains a `usize` instead of a `u32`
## 0.3.1 - 2015-05-21
### Thanks
- @divarvel for the big endian signed integer parsers
### Added
- `be_i8`, `be_i16`, `be_i32`, `be_i64`: big endian signed integer parsers
- the `core` feature can be passed to cargo to build with `no_std`
- colored hexdump can be generated from error chains
## 0.3.0 - 2015-05-07
### Thanks
- @filipegoncalves for some documentation and the new eof parser
- @CrimsonVoid for putting fully qualified types in the macros
- @lu_zero for some documentation fixes
### Added
- new error types that can contain an error code, an input slice, and a list of following errors
- `error!` will cut backtracking and return directly from the parser, with a specified error code
- `eof` parser, successful if there is no more input
- specific error codes for the parsers provided by nom
### Changed
- fully qualified types in macros. A lot of imports are not needed anymore
### Removed
- `FlatMap`, `FlatpMapOpt` and `Functor` traits (replaced by `map!`, `map_opt!` and `map_res!`)
## 0.2.2 - 2015-04-12
### Thanks
- @filipegoncalves and @thehydroimpulse for debugging an infinite loop in many0 and many1
- @thehydroimpulse for suggesting public named parsers
- @skade for removing the dependency on the collections gate
### Added
- `named!` can now declare public functions like this: `named!(pub tst, tag!("abcd"));`
- `pair!(X,Y)` returns a tuple `(x, y)`
- `separated_pair!(X, sep, Y)` returns a tuple `(x, y)`
- `preceded!(opening, X)` returns `x`
- `terminated!(X, closing)` returns `x`
- `delimited(opening, X, closing)` returns `x`
- `separated_list(sep, X)` returns a `Vec<X>`
- `separated_nonempty_list(sep, X)` returns a `Vec<X>` of at list one element
### Changed
- `many0!` and `many1!` forbid parsers that do not consume input
- `is_a!`, `is_not!`, `alpha`, `digit`, `space`, `multispace` will now return an error if they do not consume at least one byte
## 0.2.1 - 2015-04-04
### Thanks
- @mtsr for catching the remaining debug println!
- @jag426 who killed a lot of warnings
- @skade for removing the dependency on the core feature gate
### Added
- little endian unsigned int parsers le_u8, le_u16, le_u32, le_u64

- `cond!` applies a parser if the condition is met
- more parser development tools in `util::*`
### Fixed
- in one case, `opt!` would not compile
### Removed
- most of the feature gates are now removed. The only one still needed is `collections`
## 0.2.0 - 2015-03-24
*works with `rustc 1.0.0-dev (81e2396c7 2015-03-19) (built 2015-03-19)`*
### Thanks
- Ryman for the AsBytes implementation
- jag426 and jaredly for documentation fixes
- eternaleye on #rust IRC for his help on the new macro syntax
### Changed
- the AsBytes trait improves readability, no more b"...", but "..." instead
- Incomplete will now hold either Needed;;Unknown, or Needed::Size(u32). Matching on Incomplete without caring for the value is done with `Incomplete(_)`, but if more granularity is mandatory, `Needed` can be matched too
- `alt!` can pass the result of the parser to a closure
- the `take_*` macros changed behaviour, the default case is now not to consume the separator. The macros have been renamed as follows: `take_until!` -> `take_until_and_consume!`, `take_until_and_leave!` -> `take_until!`, `take_until_either_and_leave!` -> `take_until_either!`, `take_until_either!` -> `take_until_either_and_consume!`
### Added
- `peek!` macro: matches the future input but does not consume it
- `length_value!` macro: the first argument is a parser returning a `n` that can cast to usize, then applies the second parser `n` times. The macro has a variant with a third argument indicating the expected input size for the second parser
- benchmarks are available at https://github.com/Geal/nom_benchmarks
- more documentation
- **Unnamed parser syntax**: warning, this is a breaking change. With this new syntax, the macro combinators do not generate functions anymore, they create blocks. That way, they can be nested, for better readability. The `named!` macro is provided to create functions from parsers. Please be aware that nesting parsers comes with a small cost of compilation time, negligible in most cases, but can quickly get to the minutes scale if not careful. If this happens, separate your parsers in multiple subfunctions.
- `named!`, `closure!` and `call!` macros used to support the unnamed syntax
- `map!`, `map_opt!` and `map_res!` to combine a parser with a normal function, transforming the input directly, or returning an `Option` or `Result`
### Fixed
- `is_a!` is now working properly
### Removed
- the `o!` macro does less than `chain!`, so it has been removed
- the `fold0!` and `fold1!` macros were too complex and awkward to use, the `many*` combinators will be useful for most uses for now
## 0.1.6 - 2015-02-24
### Changed
- consumers must have an end method that will be called after parsing
### Added
- big endian unsigned int and float parsers: be_u8, be_u16, be_u32, be_u64, be_f32, be_f64
- producers can seek
- function and macros documentation
- README documentation
### Fixed
- lifetime declarations
- tag! can return Incomplete
## 0.1.5 - 2015-02-17
### Changed
- traits were renamed: FlatMapper -> FlatMap, Mapper -> FlatMapOpt, Mapper2 -> Functor
### Fixed
- woeks with rustc f1bb6c2f4
## 0.1.4 - 2015-02-17
### Changed
- the chaining macro can take optional arguments with '?'
## 0.1.3 - 2015-02-16
### Changed
- the chaining macro now takes the closure at the end of the argument list
## 0.1.2 - 2015-02-16
### Added
- flat_map implementation for <&[u8], &[u8]>
- chaining macro
- partial MP4 parser example
## 0.1.1 - 2015-02-06
### Fixed
- closure syntax change
