v2.0.2

Added

• Added grammar rules for variadic parameters (...name and type ...name). The parameter AST node now carries a "variadic" => 1 flag so the compiler can generate variadic functions/methods
  (zephir-lang/zephir#2025).

v2.0.1

Added

• Added grammar rule for <static> cast and method return type. STATIC is a reserved keyword token, so <static> never reached the existing LESS IDENTIFIER GREATER cast rule and was rejected as a syntax error. A dedicated LESS STATIC GREATER production now emits the literal "static" string in the same AST shape that <self> (and any other <IDENTIFIER> cast) produces, so the downstream compiler picks it up with no further parser-level changes. Enables public function foo() -> <static> for late-static-binding return types in Zephir
  (zephir-lang/zephir#2505).

v2.0.0

Added

• Added support for array destructuring assignment syntax let [a, b, c] = expr;,
  matching PHP 7.1+ short list convention. Supports skipped slots (let [a, , c] = arr;)
  and all-caps variable names. Parser-only; compiler code generation tracked in
  zephir#2496
  (#18)
• Added docs/grammar.ebnf containing the complete Zephir grammar in EBNF notation
  for railroad diagram visualization via bottlecaps.de/rr/ui
  (#106)

Fixed

• All-uppercase identifiers (e.g. RBF, LU, A) are now accepted as class names,
  method names, function names, variable names, property names, and parameters.
  Previously the scanner emitted XX_T_CONSTANT for any all-caps token and grammar
  rules for name positions only accepted XX_T_IDENTIFIER, causing a syntax error
  (#39,
  #180).
• Class properties, constants, and methods can now be declared in any order inside a
  class body. Previously only 9 fixed orderings were accepted; interleaving them (e.g.
  a constant after a property) caused a ParseException
  (#26,
  #181).
• (uchar) cast expressions no longer emit "unknown type" into the AST. The missing
  XX_TYPE_UCHAR case has been added to xx_ret_type() in parser/parser.h
  (#82,
  #182).
• String literals are now accepted as the method name in dynamic static method calls
  (self::{"name"}(), ClassName::{"method"}(args), static::{"name"}()). Previously
  only IDENTIFIER was accepted in that position while xx_mcall_expr already
  supported STRING
  (#22,
  #183).
• The ~ (bitwise-NOT) operator no longer conflicts with the ~"…" interned-string
  literal (ISTRING) token. The re2c longest-match rule always resolved this correctly,
  but the disambiguation is now documented with an explanatory comment in scanner.re
  and covered by regression tests
  (#23,
  #184).
