+ PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions (original API)
+
+PLEASE TAKE NOTE
+
+ This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with
+ library names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the
+ first release of a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers start-
+ ing at 10.00 and library names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and
+ libpcre2-32. The old libraries (now called PCRE1) are still being main-
+ tained for bug fixes, but there will be no new development. New
+ projects are advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.
