-News about PCRE releases
-------------------------
-
-Release 3.0 01-Feb-00
----------------------
-
-1. A "configure" script is now used to configure PCRE for Unix systems. It
-builds a Makefile, a config.h file, and the pcre-config script.
-
-2. PCRE is built as a shared library by default.
-
-3. There is support for POSIX classes such as [:alpha:].
-
-5. There is an experimental recursion feature.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 2.00
-
-Please note that there has been a change in the API such that a larger
-ovector is required at matching time, to provide some additional workspace.
-The new man page has details. This change was necessary in order to support
-some of the new functionality in Perl 5.005.
-
- IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.00
-
-Another (I hope this is the last!) change has been made to the API for the
-pcre_compile() function. An additional argument has been added to make it
-possible to pass over a pointer to character tables built in the current
-locale by pcre_maketables(). To use the default tables, this new arguement
-should be passed as NULL.
-
- IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.05
-
-Yet another (and again I hope this really is the last) change has been made
-to the API for the pcre_exec() function. An additional argument has been
-added to make it possible to start the match other than at the start of the
-subject string. This is important if there are lookbehinds. The new man
-page has the details, but you just want to convert existing programs, all
-you need to do is to stick in a new fifth argument to pcre_exec(), with a
-value of zero. For example, change
-
- pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, options, ovec, ovecsize)
-to
- pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, 0, options, ovec, ovecsize)
