 # JSON P3 Change Log
 
+## Version 1.1.2 (unreleased)
+
+**Fixes**
+
+- Fixed the error and error message arising from JSONPath queries with filter expressions and a missing closing bracket for the segment. Previously we would get a `JSONPathLexerError`, stating we "can't backup beyond start", which is meant to be an internal error. We now get a `JSONPathSyntaxError` with the message "unclosed bracketed selection".
