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) + +**** |
