Note that the PCRE 8.xx series (PCRE1) is now in a bugfix-only state. All
development is happening in the PCRE2 10.xx series.
+Version 8.40 11-January-2017
+----------------------------
+
+1. Using -o with -M in pcregrep could cause unnecessary repeated output when
+ the match extended over a line boundary.
+
+2. Applied Chris Wilson's second patch (Bugzilla #1681) to CMakeLists.txt for
+ MSVC static compilation, putting the first patch under a new option.
+
+3. Fix register overwite in JIT when SSE2 acceleration is enabled.
+
+4. Ignore "show all captures" (/=) for DFA matching.
+
+5. Fix JIT unaligned accesses on x86. Patch by Marc Mutz.
+
+6. In any wide-character mode (8-bit UTF or any 16-bit or 32-bit mode),
+ without PCRE_UCP set, a negative character type such as \D in a positive
+ class should cause all characters greater than 255 to match, whatever else
+ is in the class. There was a bug that caused this not to happen if a
+ Unicode property item was added to such a class, for example [\D\P{Nd}] or
+ [\W\pL].
+
+7. When pcretest was outputing information from a callout, the caret indicator
+ for the current position in the subject line was incorrect if it was after
+ an escape sequence for a character whose code point was greater than
+ \x{ff}.
+
+8. A pattern such as (?<RA>abc)(?(R)xyz) was incorrectly compiled such that
+ the conditional was interpreted as a reference to capturing group 1 instead
+ of a test for recursion. Any group whose name began with R was
+ misinterpreted in this way. (The reference interpretation should only
+ happen if the group's name is precisely "R".)
+
+9. A number of bugs have been mended relating to match start-up optimizations
+ when the first thing in a pattern is a positive lookahead. These all
+ applied only when PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE was *not* set:
+
+ (a) A pattern such as (?=.*X)X$ was incorrectly optimized as if it needed
+ both an initial 'X' and a following 'X'.
+ (b) Some patterns starting with an assertion that started with .* were
+ incorrectly optimized as having to match at the start of the subject or
+ after a newline. There are cases where this is not true, for example,
+ (?=.*[A-Z])(?=.{8,16})(?!.*[\s]) matches after the start in lines that
+ start with spaces. Starting .* in an assertion is no longer taken as an
+ indication of matching at the start (or after a newline).
