Full Changelog: v14.0.0...v15.0.0

🪺 Ruby Emoji Regex v14.0.0

It's (finally) here (for real)! Ruby Emoji Regex has a Unicode 14 update.

This version includes breaking changes which were announced in v3.2.3; the changes were made in #33.

---

1. EmojiRegex::Regex has been updated to use the data from emoji-test-regex-pattern, and is no longer marked as deprecated. It matches Emoji recommended for general interchange, as well as some 'colloquial' emoji sequences as produced by emoji keyboards in the real world.
2. EmojiRegex::RGIEmoji has been removed entirely.
3. EmojiRegex::Text has been removed entirely.

My recommendation is that if you require compatibility across multiple major versions of this gem, use something like the feature detection code used by Fastlane; use RGIEmoji if it exists, and if not, use Regex.

---

It also includes these behind-the-scenes changes:

• Update dependency ruby to v3.0.3 (#34)
• Update dependency ruby to v3.1.0 (#35)

🪺 Ruby Emoji Regex v14.0.0.pre.1

It's here! Ruby Emoji Regex has a Unicode 14 update available for testing and feedback.

This version includes breaking changes which were announced in v3.2.3; the changes were made in #33.

🔔 Ruby Emoji Regex v3.2.3

This is a very minor patch release with some important news: Unicode 14.0 is here and Ruby Emoji Regex is about to get updated for it.

---

The deprecations added in v3.2.0 in response to changes in the upstream data provider are about to come into play, and there's more clarity about what exactly that means:

• emoji-regex@9.2.2 no longer provides a suitable regex to base ruby-emoji-regex on, therefore we need to move to the data upstream of it, emoji-test-regex-pattern
• emoji-test-regex-pattern only provides data for a single regular expression; similar to the existing RGIEmoji regex, but with hand-added patterns for "overqualified" emoji like those input by the iOS Emoji keyboard

What this means is that this will be the final version of Ruby Emoji Regex which contains three regular expressions; in the next version, which will include Unicode 14 compatibility, the following breaking changes will occur:

1. EmojiRegex::Regex will be updated to use the data from emoji-test-regex-pattern, and no longer marked as deprecated. It will match Emoji recommended for general interchange, as well as some 'colloquial' emoji sequences as produced by emoji keyboards in the real world.
2. EmojiRegex::RGIEmoji will be removed entirely.
3. EmojiRegex::Text will be removed entirely.

My recommendation is that if you require compatibility with multiple versions of this gem, use something like the feature detection code used by Fastlane; use RGIEmoji if it exists, and if not, use Regex.

---

In preparation for the next release, the EmojiRegex::Text emoji has been marked as deprecated in this release. This is the only change of any note in this release.

🐈‍⬛ Ruby Emoji Regex v3.2.1

Version 3.2.1 is a minor update which includes the following documentation updates:

• Corrected references to RGIEmoji in README, by @rhymes (#20)

🪅 Ruby Emoji Regex v3.2.0

Version 3.2.0 has landed! 🪶 It contains:

• emoji-regex@v9.2.0 (#19)
• Added the EmojiRegex::RGIEmoji regex, mirroring that added in emoji-regex 9.2, which more closely follows Unicode recommendations.
  • I recommend users of the EmojiRegex::Regex expression switch to using EmojiRegex:: RGIEmoji at this time, as it is more representative of things truly used as emoji in the wild.
  • In a future major version, EmojiRegex::Regex will be replaced with EmojiRegex:: RGIEmoji.
  • EmojiRegex::Regex is thus now deprecated.
• Corrected some issues with the spec suite, and added specs to cover the differences between the now-three Regexes.
• Implemented a spec which runs the example code in the README, to ensure it's functioning as expected.
