Description Walter Bright 2011-07-29 16:59:31 UTC 
Level 1 is the most basic minimal regex support for Unicode.

As far as I know, Dmitry Olhansky is actively working on Level 1 conformance as part of his GSoC project.
Comment 2 Dmitry Olshansky 2011-07-30 08:51:08 UTC 
Indeed, and it's already here, though with a couple of quirks.
To the best of my knowledge my project addresses all of the present issues with std.regex. Which reminds me that it should go a little more public soon, stay tuned.
Comment 3 Walter Bright 2011-07-30 11:42:12 UTC 
That's great to hear! It's a little embarassing that we don't have this already.
Comment 4 Jerry Quinn 2012-01-16 19:09:00 UTC 
Does the new regex package now close this bug?
Comment 5 Dmitry Olshansky 2012-02-24 11:45:34 UTC 
Closing this as full level 1 support is provided. Any problems and/or missing functionality should be regarded as bugs and filed as such.
