Added some missing #if !defined NOPOSIX conditionals in pcretest.c that +had been forgotten. + +2. By using declared but undefined structures, we can avoid using "void" +definitions in pcre.h while keeping the internal definitions of the structures +private. + +3. The distribution is now built using autoconf 2.50 and libtool 1.4. From a +user point of view, this means that both static and shared libraries are built +by default, but this can be individually controlled. More of the work of +handling this static/shared cases is now inside libtool instead of PCRE's make +file. + +4. The pcretest utility is now installed along with pcregrep because it is +useful for users (to test regexs) and by doing this, it automatically gets +relinked by libtool. The documentation has been turned into a man page, so +there are now .1, .txt, and .html versions in /doc. + +5. Upgrades to pcregrep: + (i) Added long-form option names like gnu grep. + (ii) Added --help to list all options with an explanatory phrase. + (iii) Added -r, --recursive to recurse into sub-directories. + (iv) Added -f, --file to read patterns from a file. + +6. pcre_exec() was referring to its "code" argument before testing that +argument for NULL (and giving an error if it was NULL). + +7. Upgraded Makefile.in to allow for compiling in a different directory from +the source directory. + +8. Tiny buglet in pcretest: when pcre_fullinfo() was called to retrieve the +options bits, the pointer it was passed was to an int instead of to an unsigned +long int. This mattered only on 64-bit systems. + +9. Fixed typo (3.4/1) in pcre.h again. Sigh. I had changed pcre.h (which is +generated) instead of pcre.in, which it its source. Also made the same change +in several of the .c files. + +10. A new release of gcc defines printf() as a macro, which broke pcretest +because it had an ifdef in the middle of a string argument for printf(). Fixed +by using separate calls to printf(). + +11. Added --enable-newline-is-cr and --enable-newline-is-lf to the configure +script, to force use of CR or LF instead of \n in the source. On non-Unix +systems, the value can be set in config.h. + +12. The limit of 200 on non-capturing parentheses is a _nesting_ limit, not an +absolute limit. Changed the text of the error message to make this clear, and +likewise updated the man page. + +13. The limit of 99 on the number of capturing subpatterns has been removed. +The new limit is 65535, which I hope will not be a "real" limit. + Version 3.4 22-Aug-00 --------------------- |
