News about PCRE releases
------------------------
+Release 8.33 28-April-2013
+--------------------------
+
+A number of bugs are fixed, and some performance improvements have been made.
+There are also some new features, of which these are the most important:
+
+. The behaviour of the backtracking verbs has been rationalized and
+ documented in more detail.
+
+. JIT now supports callouts and all of the backtracking verbs.
+
+. Unicode validation has been updated in the light of Unicode Corrigendum #9,
+ which points out that "non characters" are not "characters that may not
+ appear in Unicode strings" but rather "characters that are reserved for
+ internal use and have only local meaning".
+
+. (*LIMIT_MATCH=d) and (*LIMIT_RECURSION=d) have been added so that the
+ creator of a pattern can specify lower (but not higher) limits for the
+ matching process.
+
+. The PCRE_NEVER_UTF option is available to prevent pattern-writers from using
+ the (*UTF) feature, as this could be a security issue.
+
+
Release 8.32 30-November-2012
