Added

• A spill-stack feature that uses stacker to avoid stack overflow errors for deeply recursive parsers
• The ability to access the token span when using select! like select! { |span| Token::Num(x) => (x, span) }
• Added a skip_parser recovery strategy that allows you to implement your own recovery strategies in terms of other parsers. For example, .recover_with(skip_parser(take_until(just(';')))) skips tokens until after the next semicolon
• A not combinator that consumes a single token if it is not the start of a given pattern. For example, just("\\n").or(just('"')).not() matches any char that is not either the final quote of a string, and is not the start of a newline escape sequence
• A semantic_indentation parser for parsing indentation-sensitive languages. Note that this is likely to be deprecated/removed in the future in favour of a more powerful solution
• #[must_use] attribute for parsers to ensure that they're not accidentally created without being used
• Option<Vec<T>> and Vec<Option<T>> now implement Chain<T> and Option<String> implements Chain<char>
• choice now supports both arrays and vectors of parsers in addition to tuples
• The Simple error type now implements Eq

Changed

• text::whitespace returns a Repeated instead of an impl Parser, allowing you to call methods like at_least and exactly on it.
• Improved no_std support
• Improved examples and documentation
• Use zero-width spans for EoI by default
• Don't allow defining a recursive parser more than once
• Various minor bug fixes
• Improved Display implementations for various built-in error types and SimpleReason
• Use an OrderedContainer trait to avoid unexpected behaviour for unordered containers in combination with just

Fixed

• Made several parsers (todo, unwrapped, etc.) more useful by reporting the parser's location on panic
• Boxing a parser that is already boxed just gives you the original parser to avoid double indirection
• Improved compilation speeds
