v2.7.1

• Fix parsing of time-type value assignments

v2.7.0

This release introduces over a dozen bug fixes, including some
denial-of-service vulnerabilities, and approximately triples or quadruples the
performance of parsing! There's also now a CLI too for parsing ASN.1.

Added

• asn1parser CLI: lex, cst, ast, and check subcommands that
  concatenate ASN.1 files and print JSON (or ok) to stdout or -o /
  --output. Pretty-print with -p / --pretty.

Fixed

• Grok SEQUENCE and SET types whose component list starts with an extension
  marker (...). Groking previously crashed with
  TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined.
• Parse a parameterized DefinedType (for example
  CAMEL-AChBillingChargingCharacteristics {bound}) as a
  UserDefinedConstraintParameter inside CONSTRAINED BY { ... }. The parser
  previously accepted the type reference as a bare object-set or object-class
  name and left the parameter list unconsumed.
• Report empty value-set assignments (Foo Type ::= { } and
  Foo Type ::= { ... }) with a descriptive syntax error. These previously
  failed the assignment and surfaced as a generic missing END.
• Report correct line and column numbers after tokens that contain newlines
  (block comments, character strings, and bit/hex strings). Substring re-lexing
  via startloc now keeps columns in substring-relative coordinates.
• Throw ASN1SyntaxError for an unterminated cstring instead of hanging.
• Emit a SYNTAX_ERROR token for unrecognized characters instead of swallowing
  them into the next token or spinning until the infinite-loop guard. parse()
  records these in syntaxErrors and continues with the rest of the module.
• Lex realnumber forms with an exponent and no decimal point (1e10, 1E-5).
  These previously split into a number and an identifier.
• Nest /* */ block comments per X.680, and do not treat the * in the opener
  as the start of a closer (/*/ is not a closed comment).
• Do not close a -- comment by overlapping the opener, so --- is not treated
  as a finished comment.
• Emit a SYNTAX_ERROR for numbers with leading zeros (0123), matching X.680
  12.8. Bare 0 and realnumbers such as 0.5 and 0e10 are unchanged.
• Lex lowercase true and false as XML boolean keywords
  (ProductionType._true / _false) so EmptyElementBoolean (<true/>,
  <false/>) parses correctly.
• Allow NBSP (U+00A0) inside bstring and hstring, matching X.680
  white-space.
• Fail anythingUntil when its terminator never appears, instead of treating
  end of input as a successful match. Encoding instructions that never see ]
  (or END / ENCODING-CONTROL) are now parse failures. assert recovery
  still skips to end of input and records a syntax error when the recovery token
  is missing.
• Parse { ... } BuiltinValue alternatives according to currentType when it
  is known, and include SetValue / SetOfValue in the untyped { fallback.
  Without a type, {} was a BitStringValue and { a 1 } was an
  ObjectIdentifierValue, so SEQUENCE/SET value assignments were misidentified.
• Handle maliciously recursive inputs.
• DefinitiveOID, when groked, had whitespace remaining in name for OID arcs
  that used a name and number (e.g. asdf(4)).

Changed

• Dispatch BuiltinType, ReferencedType, BuiltinValue,
  CharacterStringType, and related choices on the current token type
  (FIRST-set gating) so doomed alternatives are not executed.
  TypeWithConstraint and OpenTypeFieldVal are skipped unless the following
  token can start those productions.
• Packrat-memoize expensive singleton parsers (recursiveParser, whitespace,
  Setting) by parser identity, token index, and semantic context so
  backtracking does not re-run the same production. recursiveParser now
  resolves its getter once so inner combinators keep a stable identity.
• Use String.prototype.startsWith for lexer delimiter prefix checks so
  comments, colons, and slashes are not O(n²) on large inputs.

v2.6.0

• More JSDoc, particularly on Assignment
• Added a defaultSyntax field on ObjectAssignment for caching translation to default syntax
• Set originalIndex on Assignment

v2.5.1

• Discern between DefinedValue and NameForm when parsing ObjectIdentifierValue that features a prefix
• Export missing ProductionType-related types
• Include SymbolsFromModule in order in which they are imported (so duplicates can be detected)

v2.5.0

• Fix invalid reparsing in correct()
• Add getLength() to Production
• Add asn1ModuleOidMatch(): for use in matching a reference to an imported module to the module's object identifier.
• Add isDefinedOrImported(): for checking if a symbol is defined or imported within a given module (duh)
• Correctly parse parameterized values that appear within object identifier values
• Better typing for lex()
• NPM provenance, which you can read about here
