+-------------------
+6.84.0 - 2023-09-04
+-------------------
+
+The :func:`~hypothesis.strategies.from_regex` strategy now takes an optional
+``alphabet=characters(codec="utf-8")`` argument for unicode strings, like
+:func:`~hypothesis.strategies.text`.
+
+This offers more and more-consistent control over the generated strings,
+removing previously-hard-coded limitations.  With ``fullmatch=False`` and
+``alphabet=characters()``, surrogate characters are now possible in leading
+and trailing text as well as the body of the match.  Negated character classes
+such as ``[^A-Z]`` or ``\S`` had a hard-coded exclusion of control characters
+and surrogate characters; now they permit anything in ``alphabet=`` consistent
+with the class, and control characters are permitted by default.
