 News about PCRE releases
 ------------------------
 
+Release 4.5 01-Dec-03
+---------------------
+
+Again mainly a bug-fix and tidying release, with only a couple of new features:
+
+1. It's possible now to compile PCRE so that it does not use recursive
+function calls when matching. Instead it gets memory from the heap. This slows
+things down, but may be necessary on systems with limited stacks.
+
+2. UTF-8 string checking has been tightened to reject overlong sequences and to
+check that a starting offset points to the start of a character. Failure of the
+latter returns a new error code: PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF8_OFFSET.
+
+3. PCRE can now be compiled for systems that use EBCDIC code.
