Version 1.1.0
=============

*   Improved regular-expression compilation by using dense compiler storage, reusing known capacities, and moving
    generated program segments instead of repeatedly copying them.
*   Improved matching performance with cached category masks for ASCII characters, reduced counter comparisons, and
    a more efficient priority-preserving work stack.
*   Reduced pattern parsing overhead by validating UTF input and enforcing the configured character limit during
    decoding instead of performing a separate pre-scan.
*   Reduced hot-path overhead for internal checks and bytecode reads while retaining safety validation and debug
    diagnostics.
*   Added focused regression coverage for parser boundaries, category lookup, counter metadata, execution-state
    comparison, work priority and atomic pruning, program appending, and compiler traversal.
*   Preserved the public API, regular-expression syntax, capture behavior, generated bytecode semantics, and existing
    resource limits.

Version 1.0.1
=============

*   Fixed capture-group manager construction to use the correct number of groups.
*   Improved build tooling and portability across supported compilers.
*   Updated the source code to the latest Erbsland C++ style.

Version 1.0.0
=============

*   Initial public release.
