@@ -1,6 +1,28 @@ News about PCRE releases ------------------------ +Release 6.5 01-Feb-06 +--------------------- + +Important changes in this release: + +1. A number of new features have been added to pcregrep. + +2. The Unicode property tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1.0, and the + supported properties have been extended with script names such as "Arabic", + and the derived properties "Any" and "L&". This has necessitated a change to + the interal format of compiled patterns. Any saved compiled patterns that + use \p or \P must be recompiled. + +3. The specification of recursion in patterns has been changed so that all + recursive subpatterns are automatically treated as atomic groups. Thus, for + example, (?R) is treated as if it were (?>(?R)). This is necessary because + otherwise there are situations where recursion does not work. + +See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes, which include a number of bug +fixes and tidies. + + Release 6.0 07-Jun-05 --------------------- |
