Changes for version 0.32 - 2007-07-30

  • Backed out the change introduced in 0.25 (that created slimmer regexps when custom flags are used). As things stood, it meant that '/' could not appear in a pattern with flags (and could possibly dump core). Bug #28554 noted by David Morel.
  • Allow a+b to be unrolled into aa*b, as that may allow further reductions (bug #20847 noted by Philippe Bruhat). Not completely implemented, but bug #28554 is sufficient to push out a new release.
  • eg/assemble understands -U to enable plus unrollings.
  • Extended campaign of coverage improvements made to the test suite caught a minor flaw in source().
