1.7.2 - 2017-01-28

Fixed

Implement kludge to support evaluation of rebar.config.script by Elixir mix.

1.7.1 - 2017-01-11

Changed

Switch RE2 default revision to 2017-01-01.
Print debug messages with re2 prefix.
Teach make debug to enable -g and link dbg RE2.

1.7.0 - 2016-12-22

Changed

Make use of cpu-bound dirty schedulers if supported and online.
Optimize capturing group request if NONE or FIRST. While at it, improve relevant code comments.
Refactor RE2 object pointer handling to use std::unique_ptr because it's available now that we depend on C++11 due to RE2 upstream.
Use C++11 vec.data() instead of &vec[0] since it's now available.
Switch to upstream RE2 2016-11-01 as default RE2 revision.

1.6.0 - 2016-10-08

Fixed

Fix memory leak with literal regexes. Thanks to reports by Mark Peng, Mathieu D'Amours and bkolodziej.

1.5.0 - 2016-08-29

Fixed

build: fix rebar3 hooks and make building with rebar3 reliable. Requires pc (port_compiler) plugin >=1.3.

Changed

build: adapt port env to fixed rebar port compiler plugin, which now correctly uses CXX to link and not CC. That means, we don't explicitly pass -lc++ or -lstdc++ anymore because the link command does the right thing for C++ now. This worked in the past, but with the introduction of C++11 due to upstream, and the need for a newer toolchain, this started to affect certain environments like CentOS. Using CXX as the compile driver is the correct thing to do, and it fixes the CentOS issue. This was fixed in rebar 2.6.3, but because it works correctly for almost everywhere but environments like CentOS, rebar.config.script supports older rebar versions as well.
build: allow upstream re2 git rev override via RE2_REV env var.
build: instead of hard-coding -j2, use MAKEFLAGS and of course respect it if already set.
Add GitLab CI config.

1.4.1 - 2016-07-12

Fixed

Consider libre2.dylib when looking for system re2.

Changed

Switch default upstream re2 to 2016-06-01.

1.4.0 - 2016-03-14

Fixed

Link against libc++ when appropriate.
Build re2_nif.so with -std=c++11 due to upstream requirement. This is in addition to the recent change to build the local re2 in C++11 mode.

Changed

Allow linking against system libre2, if env var SYSTEM_RE2 is set, and fall back to local re2 if not found.
Allow overriding pinned re2 upstream git revision via RE2_REV env var.
Implement rebar3 support.

1.3.1 - 2016-02-11

Changed

Use common single dash -std=c++11 instead of --std=c++11.

1.3.0 - 2016-02-11

Fixed

Adapt to upstream requirement to build re2 in C++11 mode.

1.2.2 - 2016-02-11
