 * Added a new lexical analyzer based on Ben Hansons Lexertl library.
 * Fixed a large number of other bugs and problems.
 
+[@/libs/xpressive/index.html Xpressive] - Regular expressions that can be
+written as strings or as expression templates, and that can refer to each
+other and themselves recursively with the power of context-free grammars,
+from Eric Niebler. Highlights:
+
+* Added /semantic actions/ to static regexes. A semantic action is code that
+ executes when part of a regular expression matches.
+* Added /custom assertions/ to static regexes. A custom assertion is a Boolean
+ predicate that can participate in the regex match.
+* Added /named regexes/ for embedding a static or dynamic regex into a dynamic
+ regex. This can be used to create dynamic regex grammars.
+* Added /named captures/ to dynamic regexes, like Perl.
