Raw Blame History

This is a work in progress changelog for the next release (currently v0.11).

Major Changes

  • Implemented value plucking: e.g. When grammar = "-" @$[a-z]i* "-" is given -PEGjs-, it returns PEGjs
  • Upgraded JavaScript support:
    • Parser's are generated in ES5
    • Source code for PEG.js and scripts in the repository are written in ES2015, for Node 8+
    • The browser release is in ES5, generated using Rollup and Babel
    • Dropped support for Node versions 0.x, 4, 6 and non-LTS versions (e.g. 7, 9, etc)
    • Dropped support for IE versions 8, 9 and 10
  • Updated documentation:
    • extracted to separate markdown files in the docs folder
    • better explanation about error messages
    • added documentation for case-insensitivity in grammar
    • added documentation for backtracking in grammar
    • clarify details for the execution environment for actions (#531)
    • added a clear explanation of balanced braces (#533)
    • updated documentation for the JavaScript API
    • added a guide for plugins
    • added documentation for tracer usage
    • added a guide for the CLI
  • Rewrote command line tool:
    • added 2 aliases for --extra-options-file: -c and --config
    • options can accept their values via the assignment operator (e.g. pegjs -c=config.js)
    • all arguments after -- are passed to options["--"]
    • added aliases for some CLI options; Check them out using pegjs -h
    • added "bare" to accepted module formats
  • Updated the helpers providable to the generated parsers:
    • reintroduced offset() which was removed in a previous release (#528)
    • added range(); returns [starting offset, current offset]
    • location() also returns a filename property if one was passed to the generated parser as an option (#421)
    • helpers can be disabled via the new features option (e.g. { text: false } will remove the text() helper)
  • Parser returns an instance of the new Grammar class instead of a plain JavaScript object
  • Added the ASTVisitor class (#451)
  • Moved all code generation from the generateBytecode pass to the generateJs pass (#459)
  • Use .js files with the --extra-options-file (aliased by -c and --config) option on CLI
  • Added the Session API (peg.compiler.Session); this should simplify extending PEG.js using plugins
  • Implemented warning and error emitters: session.warn, session.error and session.fatal (#327, #430, #431)

Minor Changes

  • Omit PEG.js version from the browser release's filename
  • Added support for generating the parser as a ES module using "format": "es"
  • Added bundled TypeScript declaration files for
    • the PEG.js API: pegjs/typings/api.d.ts
    • the PEG.js modules: pegjs/typings/modules.d.ts
    • generated parsers: pegjs/typings/generated-parser.d.ts
  • Updated bytecode generator; Generated parsers look slightly better
    • optimize silent fails (#399)
    • optimize redundant fail checks (#400)
    • remove unnecessary opcode (#509)
  • Added ASTVisitor.on.{property,children}; these are helper's to create visitor's for use with the new ASTVisitor class
  • Merged ast utility functions into the new Grammar class; faster and simpler to use now.
  • Pass options.parser from peg.generate to the PEG.js parser (peg.parser, or a custom parser)
  • Added a pass for the compiler to warn when unused rules are found (#200)
  • Added a header option to the compiler; Adds custom comments to the header of the generated parser
  • CLI restores original output file (if it already exists) when parser generation fails
  • Added the option extractComments to the PEG.js parser which if true will extract comments from the grammar (#511)
  • Made the default tracer optional (disabled like so peg.generate(grammar, { features: { DefaultTracer: false } }))
  • Pass variables to generated parsers through the context option when output: "parser" (#517)
  • On the CLI added the use of input and output from the config file instead of passing them as arguments
  • Updated examples
  • Upgraded support for Unicode (from v8 to v11)

Bugfixes

  • Report consistent errors on look ahead + cached results (fix's #452 via #555)
  • Improve error messages (#194, #475, #534, #547, #552)
  • Do not indent backtick quoted strings in code blocks (#492)
  • Fix shadowing issue for UMD generated parsers (#499)
  • Check rules from options.allowedStartRules exist within the grammar (#524)

Internal

  • Use ESLint to enforce code style
  • Switch from Jasmine to Mocha & Chai (#409)
  • Removed Makefile (Had switched to Gulp, but removed that as well); Using the scripts field of package.json instead
  • Rewrote tools/impact; previously a bash script that required external programs, it's now a cross-platform Node script
  • Added coverage via Istanbul, coveralls.io and codeclimate.com (#546, #596)
  • Updated spec tests
  • Switched to Yarn for workspace based development (NOTE: Yarn should not be required for production use)
  • Updated keywords for the NPM package
  • Moved source code for the website into the main repository; the website is updated as repo is updated now
  • Added the spec and benchmark tests to the website
  • Switch from Browserify to Rollup
  • Auto-import PEG.js version using require("pegjs/package.json"), and on dist generation use rollup-plugin-json
  • Added https://pegjs.org/development/try; an editor that uses the latest source files for PEG.js
  • Replaced Travis CI support with Azure Pipelines (#596)
