Fixed bug in code for optimizing classes with only one character. It was +initializing a 32-byte map regardless, which could cause it to run off the end +of the memory it had got. + +2. Added, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA, the proposed (?>REGEX) construction. + + +Version 0.98 22-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in code for handling temporary memory usage when there are more +back references than supplied space in the ovector. This could cause segfaults. + + +Version 0.97 21-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added the \X "cut" facility, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA. + +2. Optimized negated single characters not to use a bit map. + +3. Brought error texts together as macro definitions; clarified some of them; +fixed one that was wrong - it said "range out of order" when it meant "invalid +escape sequence". + +4. Changed some char * arguments to const char *. + +5. Added PCRE_NOTBOL and PCRE_NOTEOL (from POSIX). + +6. Added the POSIX-style API wrapper in pcreposix.a and testing facilities in +pcretest. + + +Version 0.96 16-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added a simple "pgrep" utility to the distribution. + +2. Fixed an incompatibility with Perl: "{" is now treated as a normal character +unless it appears in one of the precise forms "{ddd}", "{ddd,}", or "{ddd,ddd}" +where "ddd" means "one or more decimal digits". + +3. Fixed serious bug. If a pattern had a back reference, but the call to +pcre_exec() didn't supply a large enough ovector to record the related +identifying subpattern, the match always failed. PCRE now remembers the number +of the largest back reference, and gets some temporary memory in which to save +the offsets during matching if necessary, in order to ensure that +backreferences always work. + +4. Increased the compatibility with Perl in a number of ways: + + (a) . no longer matches \n by default; an option PCRE_DOTALL is provided + to request this handling. The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (b) $ matches before a terminating newline by default; an option + PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is provided to override this (but not in multiline + mode). The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (c) The handling of \ followed by a digit other than 0 is now supposed to be + the same as Perl's. If the decimal number it represents is less than 10 + or there aren't that many previous left capturing parentheses, an octal + escape is read. Inside a character class, it's always an octal escape, + even if it is a single digit. + + (d) An escaped but undefined alphabetic character is taken as a literal, + unless PCRE_EXTRA is set. Currently this just reserves the remaining + escapes. + + (e) {0} is now permitted. (The previous item is removed from the compiled + pattern). + +5. Changed all the names of code files so that the basic parts are no longer +than 10 characters, and abolished the teeny "globals.c" file. + +6. Changed the handling of character classes; they are now done with a 32-byte +bit map always. + +7. Added the -d and /D options to pcretest to make it possible to look at the +internals of compilation without having to recompile pcre. + + +Version 0.95 23-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in pre-pass concerning escaped "normal" characters such as \x5c or +\x20 at the start of a run of normal characters. These were being treated as +real characters, instead of the source characters being re-checked. + + +Version 0.94 18-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. The functions are now thread-safe, with the caveat that the global variables +containing pointers to malloc() and free() or alternative functions are the +same for all threads. + +2. Get pcre_study() to generate a bitmap of initial characters for non- +anchored patterns when this is possible, and use it if passed to pcre_exec(). + + +Version 0.93 15-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. /(b)|(:+)/ was computing an incorrect first character. + +2. Add pcre_study() to the API and the passing of pcre_extra to pcre_exec(), +but not actually doing anything yet. + +3. Treat "-" characters in classes that cannot be part of ranges as literals, +as Perl does (e.g. [-az] or [az-]). + +4. Set the anchored flag if a branch starts with .* or .*? because that tests +all possible positions. + +5. Split up into different modules to avoid including unneeded functions in a +compiled binary. However, compile and exec are still in one module. The "study" +function is split off. + +6. The character tables are now in a separate module whose source is generated +by an auxiliary program - but can then be edited by hand if required. There are +now no calls to isalnum(), isspace(), isdigit(), isxdigit(), tolower() or +toupper() in the code. + +7. Turn the malloc/free funtions variables into pcre_malloc and pcre_free and +make them global. Abolish the function for setting them, as the caller can now +set them directly. + + +Version 0.92 11-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. A repeat with a fixed maximum and a minimum of 1 for an ordinary character +(e.g. /a{1,3}/) was broken (I mis-optimized it). + +2. Caseless matching was not working in character classes if the characters in +the pattern were in upper case. + +3. Make ranges like [W-c] work in the same way as Perl for caseless matching. + +4. Make PCRE_ANCHORED public and accept as a compile option. + +5. Add an options word to pcre_exec() and accept PCRE_ANCHORED and +PCRE_CASELESS at run time. Add escapes \A and \I to pcretest to cause it to +pass them. + +6. Give an error if bad option bits passed at compile or run time. + +7. Add PCRE_MULTILINE at compile and exec time, and (?m) as well. Add \M to +pcretest to cause it to pass that flag. + +8. Add pcre_info(), to get the number of identifying subpatterns, the stored +options, and the first character, if set. + +9. Recognize C+ or C{n,m} where n >= 1 as providing a fixed starting character. + + +Version 0.91 10-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeats of subpatterns that could +match the empty string as in /(a*)*/. It was looping and ultimately crashing. + +2. PCRE was looping on encountering an indefinitely repeated back reference to +a subpattern that had matched an empty string, e.g. /(a|)\1*/. It now does what +Perl does - treats the match as successful. + +**** |
