Release 1.0.6

• Switch dependency from paste, which is no longer maintained, to a new fork, pastey, which is.

Release 1.0.5

• Exclude more files from final package to significantly reduce package size.

Release 1.0.4

• Hide usage of assert2 in doc examples to make them slightly clearer for users not familiar with it.

Security fixes

• Upgrade indirect dependency rustix to fix a security vulnerability in directory iterators. This does not affect htmlize, since rustix is only used by development dependencies.

Release 1.0.3

• Enabled feature marks on docs.rs to make it clearer what features are required by what functions.
• Clarified ownership and licensing of entities.json data file.

Release 1.0.2

• Fix building with unescape feature but not unescape_fast. Added tests for
  a few common feature flags — in addition to --all-features — to the CI check
  to avoid this sort of problem in the future.

Release 1.0.1

• Fix docs.rs build to enable the unescape and entities features.

Release 1.0.0

Breaking changes

• Hid unescape() behind unescape feature. This allows users to avoid the
  dependency on phf and the build dependency on serde_json, which cuts build
  times on my machine by more than 90% (from 6.2 seconds to 0.5 seconds).
• Hid ENTITIES behind entities features for the same reason I added the
  unescape feature. Note that the unescape feature automatically enables
  the entities feature, but unescape_faster does not.
• Switched both escape and unescape functions to use Cow<'a, str> for input
  and output. This allows for significant performance improvements when the
  input can be returned unchanged.
• Updated minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) to 1.60.

Improvements

• Significantly optimized both escape and unescape functions. Many of the
  improvements to the escape functions are similar to the ones outlined in Lise
  Henry’s excellent post on optimizing HTML entity escaping
  (see also: its Reddit discussion), though most notably I’m
  using memchr directly rather than regex.
• Added unescape_faster feature for even faster unescaping at the cost of
  longer build times (about 30 seconds longer on my machine).
• Added unescape_attribute() to handle the special rules for dealing with
  entities in the value of an HTML attribute. Also adds unescape_in(), which
  takes a context parameter that can either be Context::Attribute or
  Context::General (for everything else).
• Added unescape_bytes_in() to work on [u8] rather than str.
• Added escape_..._bytes() functions to work on [u8] rather than str.
• Switched to the phf_codegen crate instead of using the phf_map! macro.
  On my machine, this cuts build time by about 25% (~2 seconds).
• Clarified documentation of ENTITIES to indicate that it’s a Map, not just
  a collection of tuples.

Bug fixes

• unescape() incorrectly outputted the replacement character (U+FFFD “�”) for
  certain numeric entities:

  • Noncharacters
  • Control characters
  • 0x0D (carriage return)

  A close reading of the spec and some browser testing shows that behavior to
  be incorrect. Those characters are now outputted as themselves.

• unescape() incorrectly outputted long numeric entities as the literal text
  of the entity.

  A close reading of the spec and some browser testing shows that behavior to
  be incorrect. Those long entities are now outputted as the replacement
  character (U+FFFD “�”).

0.5.1: Trivial clean up and fixes

Bugfixes
