+ChangeLog for PCRE
+------------------
+
+Version 3.0 02-Jan-02
+---------------------
+
+1. A bit of extraneous text had somehow crept into the pcregrep documentation.
+
+2. If --disable-static was given, the building process failed when trying to
+build pcretest and pcregrep. (For some reason it was using libtool to compile
+them, which is not right, as they aren't part of the library.)
+
+
+Version 3.8 18-Dec-01
+---------------------
+
+1. The experimental UTF-8 code was completely screwed up. It was packing the
+bytes in the wrong order. How dumb can you get?
+
+
+Version 3.7 29-Oct-01
+---------------------
+
+1. In updating pcretest to check change 1 of version 3.6, I screwed up.
+This caused pcretest, when used on the test data, to segfault. Unfortunately,
+this didn't happen under Solaris 8, where I normally test things.
+
+2. The Makefile had to be changed to make it work on BSD systems, where 'make'
+doesn't seem to recognize that ./xxx and xxx are the same file. (This entry
+isn't in ChangeLog distributed with 3.7 because I forgot when I hastily made
+this fix an hour or so after the initial 3.7 release.)
+
+
+Version 3.6 23-Oct-01
+---------------------
+
+1. Crashed with /(sens|respons)e and \1ibility/ and "sense and sensibility" if
+offsets passed as NULL with zero offset count.
+
+2. The config.guess and config.sub files had not been updated when I moved to
+the latest autoconf.
+
+
+Version 3.5 15-Aug-01
+---------------------
+
+1. 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
+---------------------
+
+1. Fixed typo in pcre.h: unsigned const char * changed to const unsigned char *.
+
+2. Diagnose condition (?(0) as an error instead of crashing on matching.
+
+
+Version 3.3 01-Aug-00
+---------------------
+
+1. If an octal character was given, but the value was greater than \377, it
+was not getting masked to the least significant bits, as documented. This could
+lead to crashes in some systems.
+
+2. Perl 5.6 (if not earlier versions) accepts classes like [a-\d] and treats
+the hyphen as a literal. PCRE used to give an error; it now behaves like Perl.
+
+3. Added the functions pcre_free_substring() and pcre_free_substring_list().
+These just pass their arguments on to (pcre_free)(), but they are provided
+because some uses of PCRE bind it to non-C systems that can call its functions,
+but cannot call free() or pcre_free() directly.
+
+4. Add "make test" as a synonym for "make check". Corrected some comments in
+the Makefile.
+
+5. Add $(DESTDIR)/ in front of all the paths in the "install" target in the
+Makefile.
+
+6. Changed the name of pgrep to pcregrep, because Solaris has introduced a
+command called pgrep for grepping around the active processes.
+
+7. Added the beginnings of support for UTF-8 character strings.
+
+8. Arranged for the Makefile to pass over the settings of CC, CFLAGS, and
+RANLIB to ./ltconfig so that they are used by libtool. I think these are all
+the relevant ones. (AR is not passed because ./ltconfig does its own figuring
+out for the ar command.)
+
+
+Version 3.2 12-May-00
+---------------------
+
+This is purely a bug fixing release.
+
+1. If the pattern /((Z)+|A)*/ was matched agained ZABCDEFG it matched Z instead
+of ZA. This was just one example of several cases that could provoke this bug,
+which was introduced by change 9 of version 2.00. The code for breaking
+infinite loops after an iteration that matches an empty string was't working
+correctly.
+
+2. The pcretest program was not imitating Perl correctly for the pattern /a*/g
+when matched against abbab (for example). After matching an empty string, it
+wasn't forcing anchoring when setting PCRE_NOTEMPTY for the next attempt; this
+caused it to match further down the string than it should.
+
+3. The code contained an inclusion of sys/types.h. It isn't clear why this
+was there because it doesn't seem to be needed, and it causes trouble on some
+systems, as it is not a Standard C header. It has been removed.
+
+4. Made 4 silly changes to the source to avoid stupid compiler warnings that
+were reported on the Macintosh. The changes were from
+
+ while ((c = *(++ptr)) != 0 && c != '\n');
+to
+ while ((c = *(++ptr)) != 0 && c != '\n') ;
+
+Totally extraordinary, but if that's what it takes...
+
+5. PCRE is being used in one environment where neither memmove() nor bcopy() is
+available. Added HAVE_BCOPY and an autoconf test for it; if neither
+HAVE_MEMMOVE nor HAVE_BCOPY is set, use a built-in emulation function which
+assumes the way PCRE uses memmove() (always moving upwards).
+
+6. PCRE is being used in one environment where strchr() is not available. There
+was only one use in pcre.c, and writing it out to avoid strchr() probably gives
+faster code anyway.
+
+
+Version 3.2 12-May-00
+---------------------
+
+This is purely a bug fixing release.
+
+1. If the pattern /((Z)+|A)*/ was matched agained ZABCDEFG it matched Z instead
+of ZA. This was just one example of several cases that could provoke this bug,
+which was introduced by change 9 of version 2.00. The code for breaking

+HAVE_MEMMOVE nor HAVE_BCOPY is set, use a built-in emulation function which

+
+6. PCRE is being used in one environment where strchr() is not available. There
+was only one use in pcre.c, and writing it out to avoid strchr() probably gives
+faster code anyway.
+
+
+Version 3.1 09-Feb-00
+---------------------
+
+The only change in this release is the fixing of some bugs in Makefile.in for
+the "install" target:
+
+(1) It was failing to install pcreposix.h.
+
+(2) It was overwriting the pcre.3 man page with the pcreposix.3 man page.
+
+
+Version 3.0 01-Feb-00
+---------------------
+
+1. Add support for the /+ modifier to perltest (to output $` like it does in
+pcretest).
+
+2. Add support for the /g modifier to perltest.
+
+3. Fix pcretest so that it behaves even more like Perl for /g when the pattern
+matches null strings.
+
+4. Fix perltest so that it doesn't do unwanted things when fed an empty
+pattern. Perl treats empty patterns specially - it reuses the most recent
+pattern, which is not what we want. Replace // by /(?#)/ in order to avoid this
+effect.
+
+5. The POSIX interface was broken in that it was just handing over the POSIX
+captured string vector to pcre_exec(), but (since release 2.00) PCRE has
+required a bigger vector, with some working space on the end. This means that
+the POSIX wrapper now has to get and free some memory, and copy the results.
+
+6. Added some simple autoconf support, placing the test data and the
+documentation in separate directories, re-organizing some of the
+information files, and making it build pcre-config (a GNU standard). Also added
+libtool support for building PCRE as a shared library, which is now the
+default.
+
+7. Got rid of the leading zero in the definition of PCRE_MINOR because 08 and
+09 are not valid octal constants. Single digits will be used for minor values
+less than 10.
+
+8. Defined REG_EXTENDED and REG_NOSUB as zero in the POSIX header, so that
+existing programs that set these in the POSIX interface can use PCRE without
+modification.
+
+9. Added a new function, pcre_fullinfo() with an extensible interface. It can
+return all that pcre_info() returns, plus additional data. The pcre_info()
+function is retained for compatibility, but is considered to be obsolete.
+
+10. Added experimental recursion feature (?R) to handle one common case that
+Perl 5.6 will be able to do with (?p{...}).
+
+11. Added support for POSIX character classes like [:alpha:], which Perl is
+adopting.
+
+
+Version 2.08 31-Aug-99
+----------------------
+
+1. When startoffset was not zero and the pattern began with ".*", PCRE was not
+trying to match at the startoffset position, but instead was moving forward to
+the next newline as if a previous match had failed.
+
+2. pcretest was not making use of PCRE_NOTEMPTY when repeating for /g and /G,
+and could get into a loop if a null string was matched other than at the start
+of the subject.
+
+3. Added definitions of PCRE_MAJOR and PCRE_MINOR to pcre.h so the version can
+be distinguished at compile time, and for completeness also added PCRE_DATE.
+
+5. Added Paul Sokolovsky's minor changes to make it easy to compile a Win32 DLL
+in GnuWin32 environments.
+
+
+Version 2.07 29-Jul-99
+----------------------
+
+1. The documentation is now supplied in plain text form and HTML as well as in
+the form of man page sources.
+
+2. C++ compilers don't like assigning (void *) values to other pointer types.
+In particular this affects malloc(). Although there is no problem in Standard
+C, I've put in casts to keep C++ compilers happy.
+
+3. Typo on pcretest.c; a cast of (unsigned char *) in the POSIX regexec() call
+should be (const char *).
+
+4. If NOPOSIX is defined, pcretest.c compiles without POSIX support. This may
+be useful for non-Unix systems who don't want to bother with the POSIX stuff.
+However, I haven't made this a standard facility. The documentation doesn't
+mention it, and the Makefile doesn't support it.
+
+5. The Makefile now contains an "install" target, with editable destinations at
+the top of the file. The pcretest program is not installed.
+
+6. pgrep -V now gives the PCRE version number and date.
+
+7. Fixed bug: a zero repetition after a literal string (e.g. /abcde{0}/) was
+causing the entire string to be ignored, instead of just the last character.
+
+8. If a pattern like /"([^\\"]+|\\.)*"/ is applied in the normal way to a
+non-matching string, it can take a very, very long time, even for strings of
+quite modest length, because of the nested recursion. PCRE now does better in
+some of these cases. It does this by remembering the last required literal
+character in the pattern, and pre-searching the subject to ensure it is present
+before running the real match. In other words, it applies a heuristic to detect
+some types of certain failure quickly, and in the above example, if presented
+with a string that has no trailing " it gives "no match" very quickly.
+
+9. A new runtime option PCRE_NOTEMPTY causes null string matches to be ignored;
+other alternatives are tried instead.
+
+
+Version 2.06 09-Jun-99
+----------------------
+
+1. Change pcretest's output for amount of store used to show just the code
+space, because the remainder (the data block) varies in size between 32-bit and
+64-bit systems.
+
+2. Added an extra argument to pcre_exec() to supply an offset in the subject to
+start matching at. This allows lookbehinds to work when searching for multiple
+occurrences in a string.
+
+3. Added additional options to pcretest for testing multiple occurrences:
+
+ /+ outputs the rest of the string that follows a match
+ /g loops for multiple occurrences, using the new startoffset argument
+ /G loops for multiple occurrences by passing an incremented pointer
+
+4. PCRE wasn't doing the "first character" optimization for patterns starting
+with \b or \B, though it was doing it for other lookbehind assertions. That is,
+it wasn't noticing that a match for a pattern such as /\bxyz/ has to start with
+the letter 'x'. On long subject strings, this gives a significant speed-up.
+
+
+Version 2.05 21-Apr-99
+----------------------
+
+1. Changed the type of magic_number from int to long int so that it works
+properly on 16-bit systems.
+
+2. Fixed a bug which caused patterns starting with .* not to work correctly
+when the subject string contained newline characters. PCRE was assuming
+anchoring for such patterns in all cases, which is not correct because .* will
+not pass a newline unless PCRE_DOTALL is set. It now assumes anchoring only if
+DOTALL is set at top level; otherwise it knows that patterns starting with .*
+must be retried after every newline in the subject.
+
+
+Version 2.04 18-Feb-99
+----------------------
+
+1. For parenthesized subpatterns with repeats whose minimum was zero, the
+computation of the store needed to hold the pattern was incorrect (too large).
+If such patterns were nested a few deep, this could multiply and become a real
+problem.
+
+2. Added /M option to pcretest to show the memory requirement of a specific
+pattern. Made -m a synonym of -s (which does this globally) for compatibility.
+
+3. Subpatterns of the form (regex){n,m} (i.e. limited maximum) were being
+compiled in such a way that the backtracking after subsequent failure was
+pessimal. Something like (a){0,3} was compiled as (a)?(a)?(a)? instead of
+((a)((a)(a)?)?)? with disastrous performance if the maximum was of any size.
+
+
+Version 2.03 02-Feb-99
+----------------------
+
+1. Fixed typo and small mistake in man page.
+
+2. Added 4th condition (GPL supersedes if conflict) and created separate
+LICENCE file containing the conditions.
+
+3. Updated pcretest so that patterns such as /abc\/def/ work like they do in
+Perl, that is the internal \ allows the delimiter to be included in the
+pattern. Locked out the use of \ as a delimiter. If \ immediately follows
+the final delimiter, add \ to the end of the pattern (to test the error).
+
+4. Added the convenience functions for extracting substrings after a successful
+match. Updated pcretest to make it able to test these functions.
+
+
+Version 2.02 14-Jan-99
+----------------------
+
+1. Initialized the working variables associated with each extraction so that
+their saving and restoring doesn't refer to uninitialized store.
+
+2. Put dummy code into study.c in order to trick the optimizer of the IBM C
+compiler for OS/2 into generating correct code. Apparently IBM isn't going to
+fix the problem.
+
+3. Pcretest: the timing code wasn't using LOOPREPEAT for timing execution
+calls, and wasn't printing the correct value for compiling calls. Increased the
+default value of LOOPREPEAT, and the number of significant figures in the
+times.
+
+4. Changed "/bin/rm" in the Makefile to "-rm" so it works on Windows NT.
+
+5. Renamed "deftables" as "dftables" to get it down to 8 characters, to avoid
+a building problem on Windows NT with a FAT file system.
+
+
+Version 2.01 21-Oct-98
+----------------------
+
+1. Changed the API for pcre_compile() to allow for the provision of a pointer
+to character tables built by pcre_maketables() in the current locale. If NULL
+is passed, the default tables are used.
+
+
+Version 2.00 24-Sep-98
+----------------------
+
+1. Since the (>?) facility is in Perl 5.005, don't require PCRE_EXTRA to enable
+it any more.
+
+2. Allow quantification of (?>) groups, and make it work correctly.
+
+3. The first character computation wasn't working for (?>) groups.
+
+4. Correct the implementation of \Z (it is permitted to match on the \n at the
+end of the subject) and add 5.005's \z, which really does match only at the
+very end of the subject.
+
+5. Remove the \X "cut" facility; Perl doesn't have it, and (?> is neater.
+
+6. Remove the ability to specify CASELESS, MULTILINE, DOTALL, and
+DOLLAR_END_ONLY at runtime, to make it possible to implement the Perl 5.005
+localized options. All options to pcre_study() were also removed.
+
+7. Add other new features from 5.005:
+
+ $(?<= positive lookbehind
+ $(?<! negative lookbehind
+ (?imsx-imsx) added the unsetting capability
+ such a setting is global if at outer level; local otherwise
+ (?imsx-imsx:) non-capturing groups with option setting
+ (?(cond)re|re) conditional pattern matching
+
+ A backreference to itself in a repeated group matches the previous
+ captured string.
+
+8. General tidying up of studying (both automatic and via "study")
+consequential on the addition of new assertions.
+
+9. As in 5.005, unlimited repeated groups that could match an empty substring
+are no longer faulted at compile time. Instead, the loop is forcibly broken at
+runtime if any iteration does actually match an empty substring.
+
+10. Include the RunTest script in the distribution.
+
+11. Added tests from the Perl 5.005_02 distribution. This showed up a few
+discrepancies, some of which were old and were also with respect to 5.004. They
+have now been fixed.
+
+
+Version 1.09 28-Apr-98
+----------------------
+
+1. A negated single character class followed by a quantifier with a minimum
+value of one (e.g. [^x]{1,6} ) was not compiled correctly. This could lead to
+program crashes, or just wrong answers. This did not apply to negated classes
+containing more than one character, or to minima other than one.
+
+
+Version 1.08 27-Mar-98
+----------------------
+
+1. Add PCRE_UNGREEDY to invert the greediness of quantifiers.
+
+2. Add (?U) and (?X) to set PCRE_UNGREEDY and PCRE_EXTRA respectively. The
+latter must appear before anything that relies on it in the pattern.
+
+
+Version 1.07 16-Feb-98
+----------------------
+
+1. A pattern such as /((a)*)*/ was not being diagnosed as in error (unlimited
+repeat of a potentially empty string).
+
+
+Version 1.06 23-Jan-98
+----------------------
+
+1. Added Markus Oberhumer's little patches for C++.
+
+2. Literal strings longer than 255 characters were broken.
+
+
+Version 1.05 23-Dec-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Negated character classes containing more than one character were failing if
+PCRE_CASELESS was set at run time.
+
+
+Version 1.04 19-Dec-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Corrected the man page, where some "const" qualifiers had been omitted.
+
+2. Made debugging output print "{0,xxx}" instead of just "{,xxx}" to agree with
+input syntax.
+
+3. Fixed memory leak which occurred when a regex with back references was
+matched with an offsets vector that wasn't big enough. The temporary memory
+that is used in this case wasn't being freed if the match failed.
+
+4. Tidied pcretest to ensure it frees memory that it gets.
+
+5. Temporary memory was being obtained in the case where the passed offsets
+vector was exactly big enough.
+
+6. Corrected definition of offsetof() from change 5 below.
+
+7. I had screwed up change 6 below and broken the rules for the use of
+setjmp(). Now fixed.
+
+
+Version 1.03 18-Dec-97
+----------------------
+
+1. A erroneous regex with a missing opening parenthesis was correctly
+diagnosed, but PCRE attempted to access brastack[-1], which could cause crashes
+on some systems.
+
+2. Replaced offsetof(real_pcre, code) by offsetof(real_pcre, code[0]) because
+it was reported that one broken compiler failed on the former because "code" is
+also an independent variable.
+
+3. The erroneous regex a[]b caused an array overrun reference.
+
+4. A regex ending with a one-character negative class (e.g. /[^k]$/) did not
+fail on data ending with that character. (It was going on too far, and checking
+the next character, typically a binary zero.) This was specific to the
+optimized code for single-character negative classes.
+
+5. Added a contributed patch from the TIN world which does the following:
+
+ + Add an undef for memmove, in case the the system defines a macro for it.
+
+ + Add a definition of offsetof(), in case there isn't one. (I don't know
+ the reason behind this - offsetof() is part of the ANSI standard - but
+ it does no harm).
+
+ + Reduce the ifdef's in pcre.c using macro DPRINTF, thereby eliminating
+ most of the places where whitespace preceded '#'. I have given up and
+ allowed the remaining 2 cases to be at the margin.
+
+ + Rename some variables in pcre to eliminate shadowing. This seems very
+ pedantic, but does no harm, of course.
+
+6. Moved the call to setjmp() into its own function, to get rid of warnings
+from gcc -Wall, and avoided calling it at all unless PCRE_EXTRA is used.
+
+7. Constructs such as \d{8,} were compiling into the equivalent of
+\d{8}\d{0,65527} instead of \d{8}\d* which didn't make much difference to the
+outcome, but in this particular case used more store than had been allocated,
+which caused the bug to be discovered because it threw up an internal error.
+
+8. The debugging code in both pcre and pcretest for outputting the compiled
+form of a regex was going wrong in the case of back references followed by
+curly-bracketed repeats.
+
+
+Version 1.02 12-Dec-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Typos in pcre.3 and comments in the source fixed.
+
+2. Applied a contributed patch to get rid of places where it used to remove
+'const' from variables, and fixed some signed/unsigned and uninitialized
+variable warnings.
+
+3. Added the "runtest" target to Makefile.
+
+4. Set default compiler flag to -O2 rather than just -O.
+
+
+Version 1.01 19-Nov-97
+----------------------
+
+1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeat of empty string for patterns
+like /([ab]*)*/, that is, for classes with more than one character in them.
+
+2. Likewise, it wasn't diagnosing patterns with "once-only" subpatterns, such
+as /((?>a*))*/ (a PCRE_EXTRA facility).
+
+
+Version 1.00 18-Nov-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Added compile-time macros to support systems such as SunOS4 which don't have
+memmove() or strerror() but have other things that can be used instead.
+
+2. Arranged that "make clean" removes the executables.
+
+
+Version 0.99 27-Oct-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Fixed bug in code for optimizing classes with only one character. It was
+initializing a 32-byte map regardless, which could cause it to run off the end
+of the memory it had got.
+
+2. Added, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA, the proposed (?>REGEX) construction.
+
+
+Version 0.98 22-Oct-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Fixed bug in code for handling temporary memory usage when there are more
+back references than supplied space in the ovector. This could cause segfaults.
+
+
+Version 0.97 21-Oct-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Added the \X "cut" facility, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA.
+
+2. Optimized negated single characters not to use a bit map.
+
+3. Brought error texts together as macro definitions; clarified some of them;
+fixed one that was wrong - it said "range out of order" when it meant "invalid
+escape sequence".
+
+4. Changed some char * arguments to const char *.
+
+5. Added PCRE_NOTBOL and PCRE_NOTEOL (from POSIX).
+
+6. Added the POSIX-style API wrapper in pcreposix.a and testing facilities in
+pcretest.
+
+
+Version 0.96 16-Oct-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Added a simple "pgrep" utility to the distribution.
+
+2. Fixed an incompatibility with Perl: "{" is now treated as a normal character
+unless it appears in one of the precise forms "{ddd}", "{ddd,}", or "{ddd,ddd}"
+where "ddd" means "one or more decimal digits".
+
+3. Fixed serious bug. If a pattern had a back reference, but the call to
+pcre_exec() didn't supply a large enough ovector to record the related
+identifying subpattern, the match always failed. PCRE now remembers the number
+of the largest back reference, and gets some temporary memory in which to save
+the offsets during matching if necessary, in order to ensure that
+backreferences always work.
+
+4. Increased the compatibility with Perl in a number of ways:
+
+ (a) . no longer matches \n by default; an option PCRE_DOTALL is provided
+ to request this handling. The option can be set at compile or exec time.
+
+ (b) $ matches before a terminating newline by default; an option
+ PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is provided to override this (but not in multiline
+ mode). The option can be set at compile or exec time.
+
+ (c) The handling of \ followed by a digit other than 0 is now supposed to be
+ the same as Perl's. If the decimal number it represents is less than 10
+ or there aren't that many previous left capturing parentheses, an octal
+ escape is read. Inside a character class, it's always an octal escape,
+ even if it is a single digit.
+
+ (d) An escaped but undefined alphabetic character is taken as a literal,
+ unless PCRE_EXTRA is set. Currently this just reserves the remaining
+ escapes.
+
+ (e) {0} is now permitted. (The previous item is removed from the compiled
+ pattern).
+
+5. Changed all the names of code files so that the basic parts are no longer
+than 10 characters, and abolished the teeny "globals.c" file.
+
+6. Changed the handling of character classes; they are now done with a 32-byte
+bit map always.
+
+7. Added the -d and /D options to pcretest to make it possible to look at the
+internals of compilation without having to recompile pcre.
+
+
+Version 0.95 23-Sep-97
+----------------------
+
+1. Fixed bug in pre-pass concerning escaped "normal" characters such as \x5c or
+\x20 at the start of a run of normal characters. These were being treated as
+real characters, instead of the source characters being re-checked.
+
+
+Version 0.94 18-Sep-97
+----------------------
+
+1. The functions are now thread-safe, with the caveat that the global variables
+containing pointers to malloc() and free() or alternative functions are the
+same for all threads.
+
+2. Get pcre_study() to generate a bitmap of initial characters for non-
+anchored patterns when this is possible, and use it if passed to pcre_exec().
+
+
+Version 0.93 15-Sep-97
+----------------------
+
+1. /(b)|(:+)/ was computing an incorrect first character.
+
+2. Add pcre_study() to the API and the passing of pcre_extra to pcre_exec(),
+but not actually doing anything yet.
+
+3. Treat "-" characters in classes that cannot be part of ranges as literals,
+as Perl does (e.g. [-az] or [az-]).
+
+4. Set the anchored flag if a branch starts with .* or .*? because that tests
+all possible positions.
+
+5. Split up into different modules to avoid including unneeded functions in a
+compiled binary. However, compile and exec are still in one module. The "study"
+function is split off.
+
+6. The character tables are now in a separate module whose source is generated
+by an auxiliary program - but can then be edited by hand if required. There are
+now no calls to isalnum(), isspace(), isdigit(), isxdigit(), tolower() or
+toupper() in the code.
+
+7. Turn the malloc/free funtions variables into pcre_malloc and pcre_free and
+make them global. Abolish the function for setting them, as the caller can now
+set them directly.
+
+
+Version 0.92 11-Sep-97
+----------------------
+
+1. A repeat with a fixed maximum and a minimum of 1 for an ordinary character
+(e.g. /a{1,3}/) was broken (I mis-optimized it).
+
+2. Caseless matching was not working in character classes if the characters in
+the pattern were in upper case.
+
+3. Make ranges like [W-c] work in the same way as Perl for caseless matching.
+
+4. Make PCRE_ANCHORED public and accept as a compile option.
+
+5. Add an options word to pcre_exec() and accept PCRE_ANCHORED and
+PCRE_CASELESS at run time. Add escapes \A and \I to pcretest to cause it to
+pass them.
+
+6. Give an error if bad option bits passed at compile or run time.
+
+7. Add PCRE_MULTILINE at compile and exec time, and (?m) as well. Add \M to
+pcretest to cause it to pass that flag.
+
+8. Add pcre_info(), to get the number of identifying subpatterns, the stored
+options, and the first character, if set.
+
+9. Recognize C+ or C{n,m} where n >= 1 as providing a fixed starting character.
+
+
+Version 0.91 10-Sep-97
+----------------------
+
+1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeats of subpatterns that could
+match the empty string as in /(a*)*/. It was looping and ultimately crashing.
+
+2. PCRE was looping on encountering an indefinitely repeated back reference to
+a subpattern that had matched an empty string, e.g. /(a|)\1*/. It now does what
+Perl does - treats the match as successful.
