4.0.0

Released: 2024-02-13

Major Changes

  • #379 Fix infinite recursion issue by moving reportInfiniteRecursion to the new prepare pass, and having it fail after finding the first issue. This will require plugin authors to ensure that reportInfiniteRecursion is in the new pass correctly.
  • #417 BREAKING: change to AST to allow topLevelInitializer and initializer to be arrays, in support of multi-file inputs. This will require plugin updates. The CLI and API now take multiple files as input, where the first file is your main library, and subsequent files consist of a library of other rules. The CLI can take file names of the form npm:<package-name>/<filename> to load library rules from an NPM package that is installed relative to the previous non-npm file name, or to the current working directory if this is the first file name.
  • #420 BREAKING: Node v16+ is now required for running the CLI or using Peggy as a library. Generated code still targets older runtimes.
  • #456 BREAKING: Allow imports from external compiled grammars inside a source grammar, using import {rule} from "external.js". Note that this syntax will generate either import or require in the JavaScript output, depending on the value of the format parameter. This will need explicit support from plugins, with a few new AST node types and a few visitor changes.
  • #463 Drop support for Internet Explorer. Move to eslint flat configs in order to lint minimized browser code for compatibility with defaults, maintained node versions, not op_mini all.

Minor Changes

  • #400 Use @generated in generated code
  • #404 Add support for -w/--watch to the command line interface.
  • #415 Added browser key to package.json, pointing to Webpack output.
  • #420 Updated dependencies to avoid audit warnings.
  • #425 Add a pass to simplify single-character choices
  • #427 Avoid double extraction of substrings in various MATCH_ bytecodes
  • #430 Make generate-js.js ts clean
  • #432 Add peggy.code-workspace
  • #435 Setup tsconfig to detect use of library functions from es6 or later
  • #436 Get rid of tsd
  • #437 Better type checking for visitor
  • #438 Make test build deterministic
  • #439 Make peg$computePosDetails a little faster
  • #440 Create directories for output and source-map if they do not exist, rather than erroring.
  • #446 Add a right-associative ExponentiationExpression rule (operator **) to javascript.pegjs example grammar.
  • #451 Make stack.js ts clean
  • #452 Fixes to prepare generate-bytecode.js for ts-check
  • #453 Make generate-bytecode.js ts-clean
  • #460 Allow -t and -T testing from the CLI with --format es.

3.0.2

Released: 2023-03-21

Minor Changes

  • #392 Removed the --optimize command line argument, which has been invalid since v1.2. From @hildjj.

Bug Fixes

  • #371 Error using online Peggy - "Can't find variable: util". From @hildjj.
  • #374 CLI throws exception on grammar errors. From @hildjj
  • #381 Repetitions with code blocks for min or max not handling non-integer returns correctly. From @hildjj.
  • #382 Update grammarSource documentation. From @AndrewRayCode.
  • #384 Improve the error.format() documentation. From @AndrewRayCode.
  • #386 Ensure '*' as allowed-start-rule is documented for CLI. From @hildjj.

3.0.1

Released: 2022-03-05

Minor Changes

  • #329 Allow plugin options in generate. This change loosens type checking strictness to allow for options unknown to Peggy, but used by plugins such as ts-pegjs. From @hildjj.

Bug Fixes

  • #329 Allow type definition for ParserBuildOptions to include plugin options. From @hildjj.
  • #346 Allow extra semicolons between rules. From @hildjj.
  • #347 Disallow '$' as an initial character in identifiers. This is not a breaking change because no grammar could have successfully used these in the past. From @hildjj.
  • #354 Various minor nits in the docs, including indentation and ensuring that the CNAME file is correct.
  • #357 Fix infinite recursion possibility in repetition delimeters. From @hildjj and @Mingun.
  • #359 Do not treat as many words as reserved. Clarify the documentation about identifiers. Ensure that it is more clear that the target language being generated determines what words are reserved. Clarify that reserved word checking is only done for labels. From @nene.
  • #364 Fix passing an incorrect external label to the expression inside the repeated node. From @Mingun.

3.0.0

Released: 2023-02-21

Major Changes

  • #280 Add inline examples to the documentation, from @hildjj
  • #240 Generate SourceNodes for bytecode, from @hildjj
  • #338 BREAKING CHANGE. Update dependencies, causing minimum supported version of node.js to move to 14. Generated grammar source should still work on older node versions and some older browsers, but testing is currently manual for those. from @hildjj
  • #291: Add support for repetition operator expression|min .. max, delimiter|, from @Mingun
  • #339: BREAKING CHANGE. Updated the list of JavaScript reserved words. This will break existing grammars that use any of the new words in their rule or label names. from @hildjj

Important information for plug-in authors: PR [#291] added 4 new opcodes to the bytecode:

  • IF_LT
  • IF_GE
  • IF_LT_DYNAMIC
  • IF_GE_DYNAMIC

and added a new AST node and a visitor method repeated. Do not forget to update your plug-ins.

Important information for grammar authors: the following words, which used to be valid identifiers for rules and labels, are now treated as JavaScript reserved words, and will cause errors at compile time if you are using them:

  • abstract
  • arguments
  • as
  • async
  • boolean
  • byte
  • char
  • double
  • eval
  • final
  • float
  • from
  • get
  • goto
  • int
  • long
  • native
  • of
  • set
  • short
  • synchronized
  • throws
  • transient
  • volatile

Minor Changes

  • #274 "*" is now a valid allowedStartRule, which means all rules are allowed, from @hildjj
  • #229 new CLI option -S <rule> or --start-rule <rule> to specify the start rule when testing, from @hildjj
  • #236 Website: show line numbers in parser input textarea, from @Mingun
  • #280 new output type source-with-inline-map, which generates source text with an inline map, from @hildjj
  • #285 Require that a non-empty string be given as a grammarSource if you are generating a source map, from @hildjj
  • #206: New output type ast and an --ast flag for the CLI to get an internal grammar AST for investigation (can be useful for plugin writers), from @Mingun
  • #294 Website: show errors in the editors, from @Mingun
  • #297 Website: add Discord widget, from @hildjj
  • #299 Add example grammar for a SemVer.org semantic version string, from @dselman
  • #307 Allow grammars to have relative offsets into their source files (e.g. if embedded in another doc), from @hildjj.
  • #308 Add support for reading test data from stdin using -T -, from @hildjj.
  • #313 Create the website using eleventy, from @camcherry

Bug Fixes

  • #283 Fix incorrect type information for DiagnosticCallback, from @hildjj
  • #287 Allow large outputs to be received without blocking on the CLI tests, from @hildjj

2.0.1

Released: 2022-01-01

Major Changes

  • None

Minor Changes

  • #261: Remove documentation from README.md, instead linking to the HTML documentation. HTML documentation on https://peggyjs.org is now served from the docs branch, so that it won't update as we change the main branch. main must be merged onto docs as a part of the release process going forward.
  • #266: Expose the private field problems in the Session class, from @hildjj.

Bug Fixes

  • #263: Broken link to unpkg. This bug was a symptom of a relatively bad issue in the 2.0.0 release, where the web version of peggy was put in the wrong place, and therefore not tested in the release process. From @hildjj.

2.0.0

Released: 2022-05-28

Major Changes

  • #163: Add support for generating source maps, from @Mingun
  • #160: Introduce an API for reporting errors, warnings and information messages from passes. New API allows reporting several diagnostics at once with intermediate results checking after each compilation stage, from @Mingun
  • #218: Add a sourceMappingURL to the generated code, from @hildjj
  • #248: Remove support for Node.js version 10. When updating dependencies, too many of the tools we use no longer work on the Node 10, which went out of security maintenance more than a year ago. Added support for Node.js version 18, from @hildjj
  • #251: Make commander and source-map-generator full dependencies. These are not needed for the pre-packaged web build, but will be used by Node or people that are doing their own packaging for the web, from @hildjj

Minor Changes

  • #167: New CLI, from @hildjj
    • Backward compatible with the previous
    • New -t/--test and -T/--testfile flags to directly test the generated grammar
  • #169: Expose string escape functions, stringEscape() and regexpClassEscape(), from @hildjj
  • #175: Check allowedStartRules for validity, from @hildjj
  • #185: Updated eslint rules, from @hildjj
  • #196: Add example grammars for XML and source-mapping, from @hildjj
  • #204: Increase coverage for the tests, from @Mingun
  • #210: Refactor CLI testing, from @hildjj

Bug fixes

  • #182: Fix typo in documentation, from @zargold
  • #197: Fix a regression of redundant commas in the character classes in the error messages, introduced in fad4ab74d1de67ef1902cd22d479c81ccab73224, from @Mingun
  • #198: Make all build scripts run on Windows, from @hildjj
  • #199: Test web version locally, using puppeteer, from @hildjj
  • #211:Command-line -t requires from wrong directory, from @hildjj
  • #212: Parse errors with zero length give badly-formatted errors, from @hildjj
  • #214: Failing tests don't format errors
  • #216: Fix typescript definition of SyntaxError, from @cmfcmf
  • #220: Fix rollup warnings, from @hildjj
  • #285: Work around source-map bug by throwing an exception if no grammarSource is given when generating source maps, from @hildjj.

1.2.0

Released: 2021-06-02

Minor Changes

  • Infrastructural rebake @StoneCypher

    • Builds with typescript, removes babel
    • Bundles with rollup, removes browserify
    • Tests with jest, removes mocha
    • Minifies with terser, removes uglify
    • Adds rimraf for portable pre-build cleanup
    • Extends CI testing to windows, macintosh
    • Increases node testing range to include node 16

  • Option to select optimization mode removed as it had no significant effect on the majority of generated parsers and as such represented only academic interest. You should use minifiers to get smaller parsers. Option optimize is deleted from the generate() options, flag --optimize is deleted from the CLI (you still can supply it, but the CLI will issue a warning that the option is removed). @Mingun

  • location()s now will have additional source property which value is taken from the options.grammarSource property. That property can contain arbitrary data, for example, path to the currently parsed file. @Mingun

  • Made usage of GrammarError and peg$SyntaxError more consistent. Use the format method to get pretty string outputs. Updated the peggy binary to make pretty errors. Slight breaking change: the format of a few error messages have changed; use the toString() method on GrammarError to get something close to the old text. @hildjj

  • The code generator was slightly reworked to simplify reusing the bytecode generator (generate.generateBytecode pass). Property consts on the grammar AST node, has been creating by the pass in the past, was decoupled into 4 other properties with the structured information:

    • literals
    • classes
    • expectations
    • functions

  • Added missing type definitions to the peg.d.ts file. Added definitions for the compiler and visitor modules, AST, and plugins option in the generate() function. @Mingun

    Now bytecode generation pass is independent from the JavaScript backend. @Mingun

  • Some opcodes from compiler/opcode.js were deprecated. Although you shouldn't use them directly because they are not considered as a public API, some plugins use them. For that reason backward compatibility is preserved:

    • Opcode MATCH_REGEXP is deprecated and replaced by MATCH_CHAR_CLASS with the same value.
    • Added new opcode PUSH_EMPTY_STRING that puts a new empty string on the stack.
    • Opcode PUSH is deprecated because it was used only for pushing empty string constants and they now pushed with PUSH_EMPTY_STRING.

    Instead of relying on the library opcodes it is better to have a copy of them, especially if your plugin replaces both the generateBytecode and the generateJs passes. @Mingun

  • Default visitor functions, returned by the visitor.build(), that just forward call to node.expression, now return the result of underlying visit call. @Mingun

    Affected functions:

    • rule
    • named
    • action
    • labeled
    • text
    • simple_and
    • simple_not
    • optional
    • zero_or_more
    • one_or_more
    • group

  • Parsers now can use two new functions to get location information: offset() and range(). Use them if you don't need the whole location information, because it is expensive to compute. These two new functions are always very efficient (back-ported pegjs/pegjs#528). @felix9 and @Mingun

  • Add a new option config.reservedWords: string[], avalible for plugins in their use() method. Using this option, a plugin can change the list of words that cannot be used.

    By default this new option contains an array with reserved JavaScript words @Mingun

  • Several optimizations in the generator. Generated parsers should now be faster and smaller @Mingun

Bug fixes

  • #112: "group" node in the AST now have location information (back-ported)
  • #143: peg.d.ts had some errors in the type descriptions, which were fixed

1.1.0

Released: 2021-04-22

Major Changes

  • Added global initializer blocks, which contain code that is only run once when the grammar is loaded, rather than once every time the parser runs. Global initializers are surrounded by {{ and }}, and must come before the per-parser initializer, which is surrounded by { and }. @jaubourg
  • Back-ported value plucking with @ from pegjs head. If your rule has a simple action that returns one or more of the values matched by the rule, you can instead mark those expressions with @ and not need an action. This works inside of parens as well. @hildjj

Bug fixes

  • #10: Better docs for parser options
  • #40: Turn on eslint prefer-const
  • #58: Release script didn't push tag correctly
  • #61: Replace download link with new one in doc (partial fix)
  • #71: Readme doesn't include "es" format
  • #72: Generated code has wrong version number
