# v3.0.2 (2026-06-09)
- ([#3]): Fixed expansion of args without comma in trailing args branches and
replaced macro arms differing only in trailing comma with `$(,)*`
- ([#4]): Fixed potential panic inside a proc macro if
`syn::Error::to_compile_error()` ever changes its token layout. The
`From<syn::Error>` implementation now gracefully falls back to a
call-site-spanned error message instead of panicking via
`expect()`/`unwrap()`/`unreachable!()`.

[`rust-lang/rust#127909`]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/127909
# v2.0.1 (2024-09-06)
- Fixed a span location issue due to mistake in refactoring (#2)
# v2.0.0 (2024-09-05)
No changes, simply releasing pre-release as full release.
# v2.0.0-pre.1 (2024-09-01)
- **Crate has been renamed to `proc-macro-error2`, due to the old maintainer's
inactivity.**
- `syn` has been upgraded to `2`
- MSRV has been bumped to `1.61`
- Warnings have been fixed, including `clippy::pedantic` lints
- CI has been converted to GitHub actions, and testing infrastructure
significantly simplified.
- Automatic nightly detection has been removed, use the `nightly` feature for
improved diagnostics at the cost of stability.
# v1.0.4 (2020-7-31)
- `SpanRange` facility is now public.
- Docs have been improved.
- Introduced the `syn-error` feature so you can opt-out from the `syn`
dependency.
# v1.0.3 (2020-6-26)
- Corrected a few typos.
- Fixed the `emit_call_site_warning` macro.
# v1.0.2 (2020-4-9)
- An obsolete note was removed from documentation.
# v1.0.1 (2020-4-9)

`proc-macro-nested`, please fill a request if you need it.
- Fixed `emit_call_site_error`.
- Documentation improvements.
# v1.0.0 (2020-3-25)
I believe the API can be considered stable because it's been a few months
without breaking changes, and I also don't think this crate will receive much
further evolution. It's perfect, admit it.
Hence, meet the new, stable release!
### Improvements
- Supported nested `#[proc_macro_error]` attributes. Well, you aren't supposed
to do that, but I caught myself doing it by accident on one occasion and the
behavior was... surprising. Better to handle this smooth.
# v0.4.12 (2020-3-23)
- Error message on macros' misuse is now a bit more understandable.
# v0.4.11 (2020-3-02)
- `build.rs` no longer fails when `rustc` date could not be determined, (thanks
to
[`Fabian Möller`](https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/issues/8)
for noticing and to
[`Igor Gnatenko`](https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/-/merge_requests/25)
for fixing).
# v0.4.10 (2020-2-29)
- `proc-macro-error` doesn't depend on syn\[full\] anymore, the compilation is
\~30secs faster.
# v0.4.9 (2020-2-13)
- New function: `append_dummy`.
# v0.4.8 (2020-2-01)
- Support for children messages
# v0.4.7 (2020-1-31)
- Now any type that implements `quote::ToTokens` can be used instead of spans.
This allows for high quality error messages.
# v0.4.6 (2020-1-31)
- `From<syn::Error>` implementation doesn't lose span info anymore, see
[#6](https://gitlab.com/CreepySkeleton/proc-macro-error/issues/6).
# v0.4.5 (2020-1-20)
Just a small intermediate release.
- Fix some bugs.
- Populate license files into subfolders.
# v0.4.4 (2019-11-13)
- Fix `abort_if_dirty` + warnings bug
- Allow trailing commas in macros
# v0.4.2 (2019-11-7)
- FINALLY fixed `__pme__suggestions not found` bug
# v0.4.1 (2019-11-7) YANKED
- Fixed `__pme__suggestions not found` bug
- Documentation improvements, links checked
# v0.4.0 (2019-11-6) YANKED
## New features
- "help" messages that can have their own span on nightly, they inherit parent
span on stable.
```rust
let cond_help = if condition { Some("some help message") else { None } };
abort!(
span, "something's wrong, {} wrongs in total", 10; help = "here's a help for you, {}", "take it"; help =? cond_help; note = note_span => "don't forget the note, {}", "would you?" )
```
- Warnings via `emit_warning` and `emit_warning_call_site`. Nightly only,
they're ignored on stable.
- Now `proc-macro-error` delegates to `proc_macro::Diagnostic` on nightly.
## Breaking changes
- `MacroError` is now replaced by `Diagnostic`. Its API resembles
`proc_macro::Diagnostic`.
- `Diagnostic` does not implement `From<&str/String>` so
`Result<T, &str/String>::abort_or_exit()` won't work anymore (nobody used it
anyway).
- `macro_error!` macro is replaced with `diagnostic!`.
## Improvements
- Now `proc-macro-error` renders notes exactly just like rustc does.
- We don't parse a body of a function annotated with `#[proc_macro_error]`
anymore, only looking at the signature. This should somewhat decrease
expansion time for large functions.
# v0.3.3 (2019-10-16)
- Now you can use any word instead of "help", undocumented.
# v0.3.2 (2019-10-16)
- Introduced support for "help" messages, undocumented.
# v0.3.0 (2019-10-8)
## The crate has been completely rewritten from scratch!
## Changes (most are breaking):
- Renamed macros:
- `span_error` => `abort`
- `call_site_error` => `abort_call_site`
- `filter_macro_errors` was replaced by `#[proc_macro_error]` attribute.
- `set_dummy` now takes `TokenStream` instead of `Option<TokenStream>`
- Support for multiple errors via `emit_error` and `emit_call_site_error`
- New `macro_error` macro for building errors in format=like style.
- `MacroError` API had been reconsidered. It also now implements
`quote::ToTokens`.
# v0.2.6 (2019-09-02)
- Introduce support for dummy implementations via `dummy::set_dummy`
- `multi::*` is now deprecated, will be completely rewritten in v0.3
# v0.2.0 (2019-08-15)
## Breaking changes
- `trigger_error` replaced with `MacroError::trigger` and
`filter_macro_error_panics` is hidden from docs. This is not quite a breaking
change since users weren't supposed to use these functions directly anyway.
- All dependencies are updated to `v1.*`.
## New features
- Ability to stack multiple errors via `multi::MultiMacroErrors` and emit them
at once.
## Improvements
- Now `MacroError` implements `std::fmt::Display` instead of
`std::string::ToString`.
- `MacroError::span` inherent method.
- `From<MacroError> for proc_macro/proc_macro2::TokenStream` implementations.
- `AsRef/AsMut<String> for MacroError` implementations.
# v0.1.x (2019-07-XX)
## New features
- An easy way to report errors inside within a proc-macro via `span_error`,
`call_site_error` and `filter_macro_errors`.
