 Release 8.32 xx-xxxx-2012
 -------------------------
 
+This release fixes a number of bugs, but also has some new features. These are
+the highlights:
+
+.  There is now support for 32-bit character strings and UTF-32. Like the 
+   16-bit support, this is done by compile a separater 32-bit library.
+
+.  \X now matches a Unicode extended grapheme cluster. 
+
+.  Case-independent matching of Unicode characters that have more than one
+   "other case" now makes all three (or more) characters equivalent. This 
+   applies, for example, to Greek Sigma, which has two lowercase versions.
+   
+.  Unicode character properties are updated to Unicode 6.2.0. 
+
+.  The EBCDIC support, which had decayed, has had a spring clean.
+
+.  A number of JIT optimizations have been added, which give faster JIT 
+   execution speed. In addition, a new direct interface to JIT execution is
+   available. This bypasses some of the sanity checks of pcre_exec() to give a 
+   noticeable speed-up.
+
 .  A number of issues in pcregrep have been fixed, making it more compatible
    with GNU grep. In particular, --exclude and --include (and variants) apply 
    to all files now, not just those obtained from scanning a directory 
    recursively. In Windows environments, the default action for directories is
    now "skip" instead of "read" (which provokes an error).

+.  If the --only-matching (-o) option in pcregrep is specified multiple
+   times, each one causes appropriate output. For example, -o1 -o2 outputs the 
+   substrings matched by the 1st and 2nd capturing parentheses. A separating 
+   string can be specified by --om-separator (default empty).    
+   
+.  When PCRE is built via Autotools using a version of gcc that has the 
+   "visibility" feature, it is used to hide internal library functions that are
+   not part of the public API.
