+News about PCRE releases
+------------------------
+
+Release 5.0 13-Sep-04
+---------------------
+
+The licence under which PCRE is released has been changed to the more
+conventional "BSD" licence.
+
+In the code, some bugs have been fixed, and there are also some major changes
+in this release (which is why I've increased the number to 5.0). Some changes
+are internal rearrangements, and some provide a number of new facilities. The
+new features are:
+
+1. There's an "automatic callout" feature that inserts callouts before every
+ item in the regex, and there's a new callout field that gives the position
+ in the pattern - useful for debugging and tracing.
+
+2. The extra_data structure can now be used to pass in a set of character
+ tables at exec time. This is useful if compiled regex are saved and re-used
+ at a later time when the tables may not be at the same address. If the
+ default internal tables are used, the pointer saved with the compiled
+ pattern is now set to NULL, which means that you don't need to do anything
+ special unless you are using custom tables.
+
+3. It is possible, with some restrictions on the content of the regex, to
+ request "partial" matching. A special return code is given if all of the
+ subject string matched part of the regex. This could be useful for testing
+ an input field as it is being typed.
+
+4. There is now some optional support for Unicode character properties, which
+ means that the patterns items such as \p{Lu} and \X can now be used. Only
+ the general category properties are supported. If PCRE is compiled with this
+ support, an additional 90K data structure is include, which increases the
+ size of the library dramatically.
+
+5. There is support for saving compiled patterns and re-using them later.
+
+6. There is support for running regular expressions that were compiled on a
+ different host with the opposite endianness.
+
+7. The pcretest program has been extended to accommodate the new features.
+
+The main internal rearrangement is that sequences of literal characters are no
+longer handled as strings. Instead, each character is handled on its own. This
+makes some UTF-8 handling easier, and makes the support of partial matching
+possible. Compiled patterns containing long literal strings will be larger as a
+result of this change; I hope that performance will not be much affected.
+
+
+Release 4.5 01-Dec-03
+---------------------
+
+Again mainly a bug-fix and tidying release, with only a couple of new features:
+
+1. 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
+---------------------
+
+There have been a lot of changes for the 4.0 release, adding additional
+functionality and mending bugs. Below is a list of the highlights of the new
+functionality. For full details of these features, please consult the
+documentation. For a complete list of changes, see the ChangeLog file.
+
+1. Support for Perl's \Q...\E escapes.
+
+2. "Possessive quantifiers" ?+, *+, ++, and {,}+ which come from Sun's Java
+package. They provide some syntactic sugar for simple cases of "atomic
+grouping".
+
+3. Support for the \G assertion. It is true when the current matching position
+is at the start point of the match.
+
+4. A new feature that provides some of the functionality that Perl provides
+with (?{...}). The facility is termed a "callout". The way it is done in PCRE
+is for the caller to provide an optional function, by setting pcre_callout to
+its entry point. To get the function called, the regex must include (?C) at
+appropriate points.
+
+5. Support for recursive calls to individual subpatterns. This makes it really
+easy to get totally confused.
+
+6. Support for named subpatterns. The Python syntax (?P<name>...) is used to
+name a group.
+
+7. Several extensions to UTF-8 support; it is now fairly complete. There is an
+option for pcregrep to make it operate in UTF-8 mode.
+
+8. The single man page has been split into a number of separate man pages.
+These also give rise to individual HTML pages which are put in a separate
+directory. There is an index.html page that lists them all. Some hyperlinking
+between the pages has been installed.
+
+
+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)
