Fix parser crash when parsing an array pattern with a hole.
### New features
Implement check against complex argument lists in functions that enable strict mode in ES7.
## 3.2.0 (2016-06-07)
### Bug fixes
Improve handling of lack of unicode regexp support in host
environment.
Properly reject shorthand properties whose name is a keyword.
### New features
Visitors created with `visit.make` now have their base as _prototype_, rather than copying properties into a fresh object.
## 3.1.0 (2016-04-18)
### Bug fixes
Properly tokenize the division operator directly after a function expression.
Allow trailing comma in destructuring arrays.
## 3.0.4 (2016-02-25)
### Fixes
Allow update expressions as left-hand-side of the ES7 exponential operator.
## 3.0.2 (2016-02-10)
### Fixes
Fix bug that accidentally made `undefined` a reserved word when parsing ES7.
## 3.0.0 (2016-02-10)
### Breaking changes
The default value of the `ecmaVersion` option is now 6 (used to be 5).
Support for comprehension syntax (which was dropped from the draft spec) has been removed.
### Fixes
`let` and `yield` are now “contextual keywords”, meaning you can mostly use them as identifiers in ES5 non-strict code.
A parenthesized class or function expression after `export default` is now parsed correctly.
### New features
When `ecmaVersion` is set to 7, Acorn will parse the exponentiation operator (`**`).
The identifier character ranges are now based on Unicode 8.0.0.
Plugins can now override the `raiseRecoverable` method to override the way non-critical errors are handled.
## 2.7.0 (2016-01-04)
### Fixes
Stop allowing rest parameters in setters.
Disallow `y` rexexp flag in ES5.
Disallow `\00` and `\000` escapes in strict mode.
Raise an error when an import name is a reserved word.
## 2.6.2 (2015-11-10)
### Fixes
Don't crash when no options object is passed.
## 2.6.0 (2015-11-09)
### Fixes
Add `await` as a reserved word in module sources.
Disallow `yield` in a parameter default value for a generator.
Forbid using a comma after a rest pattern in an array destructuring.
### New features
Support parsing stdin in command-line tool.
## 2.5.0 (2015-10-27)
### Fixes
Fix tokenizer support in the command-line tool.
Stop allowing `new.target` outside of functions.
Remove legacy `guard` and `guardedHandler` properties from try nodes.
Stop allowing multiple `__proto__` properties on an object literal in strict mode.
Don't allow rest parameters to be non-identifier patterns.
Check for duplicate paramter names in arrow functions.
