-## [2.7.0] - 2023-02-08 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- `Regexp::Lexer.lex` now streams tokens when called with a block
-  - it can now take arbitrarily large input, just like `Regexp::Scanner`
-  - this also slightly improves `Regexp::Parser.parse` performance
-  - note: `Regexp::Parser.parse` still does not and will not support streaming
-- improved performance of `Subexpression#each_expression`
-- minor improvements to `Regexp::Scanner` performance
-- overall improvement of parse performance: about 10% for large Regexps
-
-### Fixed
-
-- parsing of octal escape sequences in sets, e.g. `[\141]`
-  * thanks to [Randy Stauner](https://github.com/rwstauner) for the report
-
-## [2.6.2] - 2023-01-19 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed `SystemStackError` when cloning recursive subexpression calls
-  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/a|b\g<0>/).dup`
-
-## [2.6.1] - 2022-11-16 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed scanning of two negative lookbehind edge cases
-  * `(?<!x)y>` used to raise a ScannerError
-  * `(?<!x>)y` used to be misinterpreted as a named group
-  * thanks to [Sergio Medina](https://github.com/serch) for the report
-
-## [2.6.0] - 2022-09-26 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed `#referenced_expression` for `\g<0>` (was `nil`, is now the `Root` exp)
-- fixed `#reference`, `#referenced_expression` for recursion level backrefs
-  * e.g. `(a)(b)\k<-1+1>`
-  * `#referenced_expression` was `nil`, now it is the correct `Group` exp
-- detect and raise for two more syntax errors when parsing String input
-  * quantification of option switches (e.g. `(?i)+`)
-  * invalid references (e.g. `/\k<1>/`)
-  * these are a `SyntaxError` in Ruby, so could only be passed as a String
-
-### Added
-
-- `Regexp::Expression::Base#human_name`
-  * returns a nice, human-readable description of the expression
-- `Regexp::Expression::Base#optional?`
-  * returns `true` if the expression is quantified accordingly (e.g. with `*`, `{,n}`)
-- added a deprecation warning when calling `#to_re` on set members
-
-## [2.5.0] - 2022-05-27 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- `Regexp::Expression::Base.construct` and `.token_class` methods
-  * see the [wiki](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/wiki) for details
-
-## [2.4.0] - 2022-05-09 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed interpretation of `+` and `?` after interval quantifiers (`{n,n}`)
-  * they used to be treated as reluctant or possessive mode indicators
-  * however, Ruby does not support these modes for interval quantifiers
-  * they are now treated as chained quantifiers instead, as Ruby does it
-  * c.f. [#3](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/issues/3)
-- fixed `Expression::Base#nesting_level` for some tree rewrite cases
-  * e.g. the alternatives in `/a|[b]/` had an inconsistent nesting_level
-- fixed `Scanner` accepting invalid posix classes, e.g. `[[:foo:]]`
-  * they raise a `SyntaxError` when used in a Regexp, so could only be passed as String
-  * they now raise a `Regexp::Scanner::ValidationError` in the `Scanner`
-
-### Added
-
-- added `Expression::Base#==` for (deep) comparison of expressions
-- added `Expression::Base#parts`
-  * returns the text elements and subexpressions of an expression
-  * e.g. `parse(/(a)/)[0].parts # => ["(", #<Literal @text="a"...>, ")"]`
-- added `Expression::Base#te` (a.k.a. token end index)
-  * `Expression::Subexpression` always had `#te`, only terminal nodes lacked it so far
-- made some `Expression::Base` methods available on `Quantifier` instances, too
-  * `#type`, `#type?`, `#is?`, `#one_of?`, `#options`, `#terminal?`
-  * `#base_length`, `#full_length`, `#starts_at`, `#te`, `#ts`, `#offset`
-  * `#conditional_level`, `#level`, `#nesting_level` , `#set_level`
-  * this allows a more unified handling with `Expression::Base` instances
-- allowed `Quantifier#initialize` to take a token and options Hash like other nodes
-- added a deprecation warning for initializing Quantifiers with 4+ arguments:
-
-    Calling `Expression::Base#quantify` or `Quantifier.new` with 4+ arguments
-    is deprecated.
-
-    It will no longer be supported in regexp_parser v3.0.0.
-
-    Please pass a Regexp::Token instead, e.g. replace `token, text, min, max, mode`
-    with `::Regexp::Token.new(:quantifier, token, text)`. min, max, and mode
-    will be derived automatically.
-
-    Or do `exp.quantifier = Quantifier.construct(token: token, text: str)`.
-
-    This is consistent with how Expression::Base instances are created.
-
-
-## [2.3.1] - 2022-04-24 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- removed five inexistent unicode properties from `Syntax#features`
-  * these were never supported by Ruby or the `Regexp::Scanner`
-  * thanks to [Markus Schirp](https://github.com/mbj) for the report
-
-## [2.3.0] - 2022-04-08 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- improved parsing performance through `Syntax` refactoring
-  * instead of fresh `Syntax` instances, pre-loaded constants are now re-used
-  * this approximately doubles the parsing speed for simple regexps
-- added methods to `Syntax` classes to show relative feature sets
-  * e.g. `Regexp::Syntax::V3_2_0.added_features`
-- support for new unicode properties of Ruby 3.2 / Unicode 14.0
-
-## [2.2.1] - 2022-02-11 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed Syntax version of absence groups (`(?~...)`)
-  * the lexer accepted them for any Ruby version
-  * now they are only recognized for Ruby >= 2.4.1 in which they were introduced
-- reduced gem size by excluding specs from package
-- removed deprecated `test_files` gemspec setting
-- no longer depend on `yaml`/`psych` (except for Ruby <= 2.4)
-- no longer depend on `set`
-  * `set` was removed from the stdlib and made a standalone gem as of Ruby 3
-  * this made it a hidden/undeclared dependency of `regexp_parser`
-
-## [2.2.0] - 2021-12-04 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- added support for 13 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 3.1.0
-
-## [2.1.1] - 2021-02-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed `NameError` when requiring only `'regexp_parser/scanner'` in v2.1.0
-  * thanks to [Jared White and Sam Ruby](https://github.com/ruby2js/ruby2js) for the report
-
-## [2.1.0] - 2021-02-22 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- common ancestor for all scanning/parsing/lexing errors
-  * `Regexp::Parser::Error` can now be rescued as a catch-all
-  * the following errors (and their many descendants) now inherit from it:
-    - `Regexp::Expression::Conditional::TooManyBranches`
-    - `Regexp::Parser::ParserError`
-    - `Regexp::Scanner::ScannerError`
-    - `Regexp::Scanner::ValidationError`
-    - `Regexp::Syntax::SyntaxError`
-  * it replaces `ArgumentError` in some rare cases (`Regexp::Parser.parse('?')`)
-  * thanks to [sandstrom](https://github.com/sandstrom) for the cue
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed scanning of whole-pattern recursion calls `\g<0>` and `\g'0'`
-  * a regression in v2.0.1 had caused them to be scanned as literals
-- fixed scanning of some backreference and subexpression call edge cases
-  * e.g. `\k<+1>`, `\g<x-1>`
-- fixed tokenization of some escapes in character sets
-  * `.`, `|`, `{`, `}`, `(`, `)`, `^`, `$`, `?`, `+`, `*`
-  * all of these correctly emitted `#type` `:literal` and `#token` `:literal` if *not* escaped
-  * if escaped, they emitted e.g. `#type` `:escape` and `#token` `:group_open` for `[\(]`
-  * the escaped versions now correctly emit `#type` `:escape` and `#token` `:literal`
-- fixed handling of control/metacontrol escapes in character sets
-  * e.g. `[\cX]`, `[\M-\C-X]`
-  * they were misread as bunch of individual literals, escapes, and ranges
-- fixed some cases where calling `#dup`/`#clone` on expressions led to shared state
-
-## [2.0.3] - 2020-12-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed error when scanning some unlikely and redundant but valid charset patterns
-  * e.g. `/[[.a-b.]]/`, `/[[=e=]]/`,
-- fixed ancestry of some error classes related to syntax version lookup
-  * `NotImplementedError`, `InvalidVersionNameError`, `UnknownSyntaxNameError`
-  * they now correctly inherit from `Regexp::Syntax::SyntaxError` instead of Rubys `::SyntaxError`
-
-## [2.0.2] - 2020-12-25 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed `FrozenError` when calling `#to_s` on a frozen `Group::Passive`
-  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon)
-
-## [2.0.1] - 2020-12-20 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed error when scanning some group names
-  * this affected names containing hyphens, digits or multibyte chars, e.g. `/(?<a1>a)/`
-  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon) for the report
-- fixed error when scanning hex escapes with just one hex digit
-  * e.g. `/\x0A/` was scanned correctly, but the equivalent `/\xA/` was not
-  * thanks to [Daniel Gollahon](https://github.com/dgollahon) for the report
-
-## [2.0.0] - 2020-11-25 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Changed
-
-- some methods that used to return byte-based indices now return char-based indices
-  * the returned values have only changed for Regexps that contain multibyte chars
-  * this is only a breaking change if you used such methods directly AND relied on them pointing to bytes
-  * affected methods:
-  * `Regexp::Token` `#length`, `#offset`, `#te`, `#ts`
-  * `Regexp::Expression::Base` `#full_length`, `#offset`, `#starts_at`, `#te`, `#ts`
-  * thanks to [Akinori MUSHA](https://github.com/knu) for the report
-- removed some deprecated methods/signatures
-  * these are rarely used and have been showing deprecation warnings for a long time
-  * `Regexp::Expression::Subexpression.new` with 3 arguments
-  * `Regexp::Expression::Root.new` without a token argument
-  * `Regexp::Expression.parsed`
-
-### Added
-
-- `Regexp::Expression::Base#base_length`
-  * returns the character count of an expression body, ignoring any quantifier
-- pragmatic, experimental support for chained quantifiers
-  * e.g.: `/^a{10}{4,6}$/` matches exactly 40, 50 or 60 `a`s
-  * successive quantifiers used to be silently dropped by the parser
-  * they are now wrapped with passive groups as if they were written `(?:a{10}){4,6}`
-  * thanks to [calfeld](https://github.com/calfeld) for reporting this a while back
-
-### Fixed
-
-- incorrect encoding output for non-ascii comments
-  * this led to a crash when calling `#to_s` on parse results containing such comments
-  * thanks to [Michael Glass](https://github.com/michaelglass) for the report
-- some crashes when scanning contrived patterns such as `'\😋'`
-
-### [1.8.2] - 2020-10-11 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fix `FrozenError` in `Expression::Base#repetitions` on Ruby 3.0
-  * thanks to [Thomas Walpole](https://github.com/twalpole)
-- removed "unknown future version" warning on Ruby 3.0
-
-### [1.8.1] - 2020-09-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed scanning of comment-like text in normal mode
-  * this was an old bug, but had become more prevalent in v1.8.0
-  * thanks to [Tietew](https://github.com/Tietew) for the report
-- specified correct minimum Ruby version in gemspec
-  * it said 1.9 but really required 2.0 as of v1.8.0
-
-### [1.8.0] - 2020-09-20 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Changed
-
-- dropped support for running on Ruby 1.9.x
-
-### Added
-
-- regexp flags can now be passed when parsing a `String` as regexp body
-  * see the [README](/README.md#usage) for details
-  * thanks to [Owen Stephens](https://github.com/owst)
-- bare occurrences of `\g` and `\k` are now allowed and scanned as literal escapes
-  * matches Onigmo behavior
-  * thanks for the report to [Marc-André Lafortune](https://github.com/marcandre)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- fixed parsing comments without preceding space or trailing newline in x-mode
-  * thanks to [Owen Stephens](https://github.com/owst)
-
-### [1.7.1] - 2020-06-07 - [Ammar Ali](mailto:ammarabuali@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Support for literals that include the unescaped delimiters `{`, `}`, and `]`. These
-  delimiters are informally supported by various regexp engines.
-
-### [1.7.0] - 2020-02-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- `Expression::Base#each_expression` and `#traverse` can now be called without a block
-  * this returns an `Enumerator` and allows chaining, e.g. `each_expression.select`
-  * thanks to [Masataka Kuwabara](https://github.com/pocke)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- `MatchLength#each` no longer ignores the given `limit:` when called without a block
-
-### [1.6.0] - 2019-06-16 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- Added support for 16 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 2.6.2 and 2.6.3
-
-### [1.5.1] - 2019-05-23 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed `#options` (and thus `#i?`, `#u?` etc.) not being set for some expressions:
-  * this affected posix classes as well as alternation, conditional, and intersection branches
-  * `#options` was already correct for all child expressions of such branches
-  * this only made an operational difference for posix classes as they respect encoding flags
-- Fixed `#options` not respecting all negative options in weird cases like '(?u-m-x)'
-- Fixed `Group#option_changes` not accounting for indirectly disabled (overridden) encoding flags
-- Fixed `Scanner` allowing negative encoding options if there were no positive options, e.g. '(?-u)'
-- Fixed `ScannerError` for some valid meta/control sequences such as '\\C-\\\\'
-- Fixed `Expression::Base#match` and `#=~` not working with a single argument
-
-### [1.5.0] - 2019-05-14 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- Added `#referenced_expression` for backrefs, subexp calls and conditionals
-  * returns the `Group` expression that is being referenced via name or number
-- Added `Expression::Base#repetitions`
-  * returns a `Range` of allowed repetitions (`1..1` if there is no quantifier)
-  * like `#quantity` but with a more uniform interface
-- Added `Expression::Base#match_length`
-  * allows to inspect and iterate over String lengths matched by the Expression
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed `Expression::Base#clone` "direction"
-  * it used to dup ivars onto the callee, leaving only the clone referencing the original objects
-  * this will affect you if you call `#eql?`/`#equal?` on expressions or use them as Hash keys
-- Fixed `#clone` results for `Sequences`, e.g. alternations and conditionals
-  * the inner `#text` was cloned onto the `Sequence` and thus duplicated
-  * e.g. `Regexp::Parser.parse(/(a|bc)/).clone.to_s # => (aa|bcbc)`
-- Fixed inconsistent `#to_s` output for `Sequences`
-  * it used to return only the "specific" text, e.g. "|" for an alternation
-  * now it includes nested expressions as it does for all other `Subexpressions`
-- Fixed quantification of codepoint lists with more than one entry (`\u{62 63 64}+`)
-  * quantifiers apply only to the last entry, so this token is now split up if quantified
-
-### [1.4.0] - 2019-04-02 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- Added support for 19 new unicode properties introduced in Ruby 2.6.0
-
-### [1.3.0] - 2018-11-14 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- `Syntax#features` returns a `Hash` of all types and tokens supported by a given `Syntax`
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Thanks to [Akira Matsuda](https://github.com/amatsuda)
-  * eliminated warning "assigned but unused variable - testEof"
-
-## [1.2.0] - 2018-09-28 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- `Subexpression` (branch node) includes `Enumerable`, allowing to `#select` children etc.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed missing quantifier in `Conditional::Expression` methods `#to_s`, `#to_re`
-- `Conditional::Condition` no longer lives outside the recursive `#expressions` tree
-  * it used to be the only expression stored in a custom ivar, complicating traversal
-  * its setter and getter (`#condition=`, `#condition`) still work as before
-
-## [1.1.0] - 2018-09-17 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Added
-
-- Added `Quantifier` methods `#greedy?`, `#possessive?`, `#reluctant?`/`#lazy?`
-- Added `Group::Options#option_changes`
-  * shows the options enabled or disabled by the given options group
-  * as with all other expressions, `#options` shows the overall active options
-- Added `Conditional#reference` and `Condition#reference`, indicating the determinative group
-- Added `Subexpression#dig`, acts like [`Array#dig`](http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/Array.html#method-i-dig)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed parsing of quantified conditional expressions (quantifiers were assigned to the wrong expression)
-- Fixed scanning and parsing of forward-referring subexpression calls (e.g. `\g<+1>`)
-- `Root` and `Sequence` expressions now support the same constructor signature as all other expressions
-
-## [1.0.0] - 2018-09-01 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-This release includes several breaking changes, mostly to character sets, #map and properties.
-
-### Changed
-
-- Changed handling of sets (a.k.a. character classes or "bracket expressions")
-  * see PR [#55](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/55) / issue [#47](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/issues/47) for details
-  * sets are now parsed to expression trees like other nestable expressions
-  * `#scan` now emits the same tokens as outside sets (no longer `:set, :member`)
-  * `CharacterSet#members` has been removed
-  * new `Range` and `Intersection` classes represent corresponding syntax features
-  * a new `PosixClass` expression class represents e.g. `[[:ascii:]]`
-    * `PosixClass` instances behave like `Property` ones, e.g. support `#negative?`
-    * `#scan` emits `:(non)posixclass, :<type>` instead of `:set, :char_(non)<type>`
-- Changed `Subexpression#map` to act like regular `Enumerable#map`
-  * the old behavior is available as `Subexpression#flat_map`
-  * e.g. `parse(/[a]/).map(&:to_s) == ["[a]"]`; used to be `["[a]", "a"]`
-- Changed expression emissions for some escape sequences
-  * `EscapeSequence::Codepoint`, `CodepointList`, `Hex` and `Octal` are now all used
-  * they already existed, but were all parsed as `EscapeSequence::Literal`
-  * e.g. `\x97` is now `EscapeSequence::Hex` instead of `EscapeSequence::Literal`
-- Changed naming of many property tokens (emitted for `\p{...}`)
-  * if you work with these tokens, see PR [#56](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/56) for details
-  * e.g. `:punct_dash` is now `:dash_punctuation`
-- Changed `(?m)` and the likes to emit as `:options_switch` token (@4ade4d1)
-  * allows differentiating from group-local `:options`, e.g. `(?m:.)`
-- Changed name of `Backreference::..NestLevel` to `..RecursionLevel` (@4184339)
-- Changed `Backreference::Number#number` from `String` to `Integer` (@40a2231)
-
-### Added
-
-- Added support for all previously missing properties (about 250)
-- Added `Expression::UnicodeProperty#shortcut` (e.g. returns "m" for `\p{mark}`)
-- Added `#char(s)` and `#codepoint(s)` methods to all `EscapeSequence` expressions
-- Added `#number`/`#name`/`#recursion_level` to all backref/call expressions (@174bf21)
-- Added `#number` and `#number_at_level` to capturing group expressions (@40a2231)
-
-### Fixed
-
-- Fixed Ruby version mapping of some properties
-- Fixed scanning of some property spellings, e.g. with dashes
-- Fixed some incorrect property alias normalizations
-- Fixed scanning of codepoint escapes with 6 digits (e.g. `\u{10FFFF}`)
-- Fixed scanning of `\R` and `\X` within sets; they act as literals there
-
-## [0.5.0] - 2018-04-29 - [Janosch Müller](mailto:janosch84@gmail.com)
-
-### Changed
-
-- Changed handling of Ruby versions (PR [#53](https://github.com/ammar/regexp_parser/pull/53))
-  * New Ruby versions are now supported by default
-  * Some deep-lying APIs have changed, which should not affect most users:
-    * `Regexp::Syntax::VERSIONS` is gone
-    * Syntax version names have changed from `Regexp::Syntax::Ruby::Vnnn`
-      to `Regexp::Syntax::Vn_n_n`
-    * Syntax version classes for Ruby versions without regex feature changes
-      are no longer predefined and are now only created on demand / lazily
-    * `Regexp::Syntax::supported?` returns true for any argument >= 1.8.6
-
-### Fixed
-

-## [0.1.6] - 2014-10-06 - [Ammar Ali](mailto:ammarabuali@gmail.com)
-
-- Fixed test and gem building rake tasks and extracted the gem
-  specification from the Rakefile into a .gemspec file.
-- Added syntax files for missing ruby 2.x versions. These do not add
-  extra syntax support, they just make the gem work with the newer
-  ruby versions.
-- Fixed a parser bug where an alternation sequence that contained nested expressions was incorrectly being appended to the parent expression when the nesting was exited. e.g. in /a|(b)c/, c was appended to the root.
-- Fixed a bug where character types were not being correctly scanned within character sets. e.g. in [\d], two tokens were scanned; one for the backslash '\' and one for the 'd'
