Release 8.30 introduces a major new feature: support for 16-bit character
-strings, compiled as a separate library. There are a few changes to the

8-bit library, in addition to some bug fixes.

been removed.

of the data fields. With the advent of the 16-bit library, where more of this
swapping is needed, it is no longer done automatically. Instead, the bad
endianness is detected and a specific error is given. The user can then call
a new function called pcre_pattern_to_host_byte_order() (or an equivalent
16-bit function) to do the swap.

. In UTF-8 mode, the values 0xd800 to 0xdfff are not legal Unicode
code points and are now faulted. (They are the so-called "surrogates"
that are reserved for coding high values in UTF-16.)
