-
-Previously, the C++ standard regex expression library was used, the
-behaviour of which varied depending on the platform. This has been
-replaced with the Boost regex library, which works identically across
-platforms.
-
-The visible behaviour of the regex functions doesn't change. While
-the new library has more features, Lix will reject regular expressions
-using them.
-
-This also fixes regex matching reporting stack overflow when matching
-on too much data.
-
-Before:
-
-    nix-repl> builtins.match ".*" (
-                builtins.concatStringsSep "" (
-                  builtins.genList (_: "a") 1000000
-                )
-              )
-    error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
-
-After:
-
-    nix-repl> builtins.match ".*" (
-                builtins.concatStringsSep "" (
-                  builtins.genList (_: "a") 1000000
-                )
-              )
