README file for PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression library)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-The latest release of PCRE is always available in three alternative formats
+NOTE: This set of files relates to PCRE releases that use the original API,
+with library names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the
+first release of a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at
+10.00 and library names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old
+libraries (now called PCRE1) are still being maintained for bug fixes, but
+there will be no new development. New projects are advised to use the new PCRE2
+libraries.
