So I've already found some things I need to improve:
- I need to add the complete list of .NET RegexOptions.
- I need to rework the error label so it doesn't overlap the Regular Expression box.
- Performance could still stand to be better when working with long target strings. I have a few ideas to improve this.

I'll try to get all of this done tonight.

Well, all of those things are done now.

I made some huge improvements in performance after realizing that with my new method I no longer need to use inlines for my text block. So after changing the code inside the loop to a string builder, and further optimizing the loops inside of the loop, it's pretty stinkin' responsive now. Of course, there's always room for even more improvement.

Yesterday I added the ability to benchmark your regular expressions. This feature particularly appeals to me since I love performance tuning.

I was a little surprised to see just how well optimized .NET is in the area, partially thanks to the fact that it compiles and caches regular expressions. I believe it's significantly faster than any Perl-based implementations I've seen.

I've made many improvements over the last 29 days.

To name a few, I've added:
- Full Regex errors
- Replace capability
- Unlimited undos & redos
- Animated highlighting
- Proper multiline support
- Auto-saving

And I've moved the site to http://regexhero.net/ for better SEO. Thanks everyone for making Regex Hero a hit.
