v0.3.0

Release Notes

v0.3.0

v0.3.0 reduces the API to one function and makes long inputs fast.

• match(pattern, text, options) is the only entry point. It returns
  ParseError!bool, so malformed patterns are always reported.
• Literal runs compare as slices, a star followed by a literal byte jumps to
  that byte's next occurrence, and a literal tail after the last star is checked
  with one suffix comparison. *.zig against a 210-byte path drops from about
  280 ns to under 10 ns.

Breaking changes from v0.2.0

• The package is renamed to libglob.
• Requires Zig 0.17.0.
• match now takes Options and returns ParseError!bool.
• Removed matchWithOptions, validate, matchAny, matchAll, and
  CaseSensitivity. Negate with ! on the result and loop over pattern lists.
• ValidationError is renamed to ParseError.
• Removed whole-pattern negation: a leading ! is an ordinary byte.
• Options.case_sensitivity = .insensitive_ascii is now ignore_case = true,
  and no_escape = true is now escapes = false.

v0.2.0

v0.2.0 makes matching safer, faster on hostile wildcard patterns, and easier to
configure while keeping the library allocation-free and dependency-free.

• Replaced recursive * matching with constant-stack iterative backtracking,
  bounding worst-case work to O(pattern.len * text.len).
• Added negated and escaped character classes.
• Added pathname, leading-period, no-escape, and ASCII case-insensitive options.
• Invalid configurable patterns now return ValidationError.
• Reduced the API to match, matchWithOptions, validate, matchAny, and
  matchAll.

Breaking changes from v0.1.0

• Requires Zig 0.17.0-dev.1893+78e3b1c73.
• Removed matchMultiple; use matchAny.
• Added ValidationError.InvalidRange; reversed ranges such as [z-a] now fail
  validation.
• Leading ! or ^ inside a character class now negates the class.
• Invalid patterns always return false from match, including negated ones.

v0.1.0 (Initial Release)

• Initial implementation of glob pattern matching
• Support for wildcards: * (any characters), ? (single character)
• Character classes: [abc] (set), [a-z] (range)
• Negation with ! prefix
• Pattern validation for syntax errors
• Multiple pattern matching: matchAny (any match), matchAll (all match)
• Pure Zig implementation with no dependencies
• Comprehensive test suite covering all features
