Release 0.5.0

Changed

• improve Args builder for hamming

Release 0.4.0

Changed

• rewrite of function signatures to reduce boilerplate

  • return type now automatically deduced, so no more unwrapping needed
    when score_cutoff is not used
  • optional arguments now in Arg structs uisng the builder pattern to reduce amount
    of extra arguments
  • extra overload *_with_args for a variant with args, while the default version accepts
    only two sequences

  The signatures is expected to largely stay this way for the foreseeable future.

Release 0.3.2

Fixed

• fixed crash inside hashmap grow function leading to a crash in the
  Damerau-Levenshtein implementation
• fixed incorrect flagging of similar characters in Jaro similarity
• fixed wraparound in Longest Common Subsequence

Release 0.3.1

Fixed

• fixed crash inside hashmap lookup function leading to a crash in the Damerau-Levenshtein implementation

Release 0.3.0

Previous versions only existed for testing purposed years ago. This is a complete
rewrite porting a subset of the features provided in the C++ implementation of
rapidfuzz. The remaining features will be added in later releases.

Added

• added implementations of the following string metrics:

  • Levenshtein distance
  • Damerau-Levenshtein distance
  • Hamming distance
  • Longest common subsequence
  • Indel distance
  • Optimal string alignment distance
  • Postfix similarity
  • Prefix similarity
  • Jaro similarity
  • Jaro-Winkler similarity
