+News about PCRE releases
+------------------------
+
+Release 3.5 15-Aug-01
+---------------------
+
+1. The configuring system has been upgraded to use later versions of autoconf
+and libtool. By default it builds both a shared and a static library if the OS
+supports it. You can use --disable-shared or --disable-static on the configure
+command if you want only one of them.
+
+2. 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.
+
+3. 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.
+
+4. 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.
+
+5. 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.
+
+6. 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.
+
+
+Release 3.3 01-Aug-00
+---------------------
+
+There is some support for UTF-8 character strings. This is incomplete and
+experimental. The documentation describes what is and what is not implemented.
+Otherwise, this is just a bug-fixing release.
+
+
+Release 3.0 01-Feb-00
+---------------------
+
+1. A "configure" script is now used to configure PCRE for Unix systems. It
+builds a Makefile, a config.h file, and the pcre-config script.
+
+2. PCRE is built as a shared library by default.
+
+3. There is support for POSIX classes such as [:alpha:].
+
+5. There is an experimental recursion feature.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 2.00
+
+Please note that there has been a change in the API such that a larger
+ovector is required at matching time, to provide some additional workspace.
+The new man page has details. This change was necessary in order to support
+some of the new functionality in Perl 5.005.
+
+ IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.00
+
+Another (I hope this is the last!) change has been made to the API for the
+pcre_compile() function. An additional argument has been added to make it
+possible to pass over a pointer to character tables built in the current
+locale by pcre_maketables(). To use the default tables, this new arguement
+should be passed as NULL.
+
+ IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.05
+
+Yet another (and again I hope this really is the last) change has been made
+to the API for the pcre_exec() function. An additional argument has been
+added to make it possible to start the match other than at the start of the
+subject string. This is important if there are lookbehinds. The new man
+page has the details, but you just want to convert existing programs, all
+you need to do is to stick in a new fifth argument to pcre_exec(), with a
+value of zero. For example, change
+
+ pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, options, ovec, ovecsize)
+to
+ pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, 0, options, ovec, ovecsize)
