Subject: [ANN] oniguruma 1.0.0 Released

oniguruma version 1.0.0 has been released!

  http://oniguruma.rubyforge.org

Ruby bindings to the
Oniguruma[http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/] regular
expression library (no need to recompile Ruby).

Changes:

== 1.0.0 / 2007-03-27
* Added documentation for MatchData.
* Added ogsub, ogsub!, sub and sub! to ::String.
* Removed ::String definitions from tests.
* Now the minimal recommended version of oniglib is 5.5 or higher.
* Removed ugly #if statements from c code.
* Do not create @named_captures hash if there are no named groups for
regexp -- somewhat improve speed for repetive calls
* Fixed usage of named backreferences in gsub with non-ascii names
* Move ORegexp#=~ to C code, make it work just like Regexp#=~, i.e.
set $~. Throw ArgumentError instead of Exception if pattern does not
compile
* Fix implementation of ORegexp#===, so it now does not raise errors
in case statement anymore
  (resembles plain Ruby Regexp#=== behaviour)
* Modified begin, end and offset methods in MatchData to handle named
groups and default to group 0.
* Exception is not longer thrown when in oregexp_make_match_data.
* Removed references to MultiMatchData from documentation
* Removed class MultiMatchData
* Fix off by one error in region->num_regs usage
* Fix dumb bug with zero-width matches that made infinite loops. now
consume at least one char in gsub and scan
* ORegexp API changes:
  * Pass only MatchData to sub/gsub with blocks
      oregexp.sub( str ) {|match_data| ... }
      oregexp.gsub( str ) {|match_data| ... }
  * Add ORegexp#scan instead of match_all
      oregexp.scan(str) {|match_data| ... } # => MultiMatchData
  * Friendly way to set options
      ORegexp.new( pattern, options_str, encoding, syntax)
      ORegexp.new('\w+', 'imsx', 'koi8r', 'perl')
  *  Named backreferences in substitions
      ORegexp.new('(?<pre>\w+)\d+(?<after>\w+)').sub('abc123def',
'\<after>123\<pre>')  #=> 'def123abc'
* couple of bugfixes with region's num_regs
* some  docs for substitution methods added
