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. + + +Release 4.4 21-Aug-03 +--------------------- + +This is mainly a bug-fix and tidying release. The only new feature is that PCRE +checks UTF-8 strings for validity by default. There is an option to suppress +this, just in case anybody wants that teeny extra bit of performance. + + +Releases 4.1 - 4.3 +------------------ + +Sorry, I forgot about updating the NEWS file for these releases. Please take a +look at ChangeLog. + + Release 4.0 17-Feb-03 --------------------- |
