Laika v0.8.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2018-06-04 // almost 6 years ago-
The Speed Release
- 📜 Doubles parsing speed for both Markdown and reStructuredText
- 📜 Much lower number of parser instance creations on repeated runs
- 🐎 Performance goals had been achieved through replacing the former
⚡️ Scala SDK parser combinators with a custom, optimized combinator design:- Fewer dependent types and base parsers in objects instead of traits, making it easier to freely compose parsers
- Create parser error messages lazily, as most of them will never be accessed
- Avoid cost of by-name args in all cases except | combinator
- 🚀 Other changes in this release:
- Add support for size and align options for the image directive in reStructuredText
- Fixes for all bugs known and reported to this point
- Remove all deprecation warnings for Scala 2.12
