v0.8.2

[0.8.2] - 2023-09-23

Performance

• Improved handling of the root-only query $. (#160)
  • Full nodes result when asking for root: 2 times throughput increase.
  • Indices/count result when asking for root: basically unboundedly faster,
    no longer looks at the entire document.

Documentation

• Clarified the approximate_spans guarantees.
  • Now documentation mentions that the returned MatchSpans can potentially
    have their end indices farther than one would expect the input to logically end,
    due to internal padding.

Bug fixes

• Fixed handling of the root-only query $ on atomic documents. (#160)
  • Previously only object and array roots were supported.
• Fixed a bug when head-skipping to a single-byte key would panic. (#281)
  • This was detected by fuzzing!
  • The queries $..["{"] and $..["["] would panic
    on inputs starting with the bytes {" or [", respectively.
• Fixed a bug where disabling the simd feature would not actually
  disable SIMD acceleration.

Reliability

• Made the ClusterFuzzLite batch workflow automatically create an issue
  on failure to make sure the maintainers are notified.
