Version 7.9 11-Apr-09
---------------------
1. When building with support for bzlib/zlib (pcregrep) and/or readline
(pcretest), all targets were linked against these libraries. This included
libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp, even though they do not use these
libraries. This caused unwanted dependencies to be created. This problem
has been fixed, and now only pcregrep is linked with bzlib/zlib and only
pcretest is linked with readline.
2. The "typedef int BOOL" in pcre_internal.h that was included inside the
"#ifndef FALSE" condition by an earlier change (probably 7.8/18) has been
moved outside it again, because FALSE and TRUE are already defined in AIX,
but BOOL is not.
3. The pcre_config() function was treating the PCRE_MATCH_LIMIT and
PCRE_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION values as ints, when they should be long ints.
4. The pcregrep documentation said spaces were inserted as well as colons (or
hyphens) following file names and line numbers when outputting matching
lines. This is not true; no spaces are inserted. I have also clarified the
wording for the --colour (or --color) option.
5. In pcregrep, when --colour was used with -o, the list of matching strings
was not coloured; this is different to GNU grep, so I have changed it to be
the same.
6. When --colo(u)r was used in pcregrep, only the first matching substring in
each matching line was coloured. Now it goes on to look for further matches
of any of the test patterns, which is the same behaviour as GNU grep.
7. A pattern that could match an empty string could cause pcregrep to loop; it
doesn't make sense to accept an empty string match in pcregrep, so I have
locked it out (using PCRE's PCRE_NOTEMPTY option). By experiment, this
seems to be how GNU grep behaves.
8. The pattern (?(?=.*b)b|^) was incorrectly compiled as "match must be at
start or after a newline", because the conditional assertion was not being
correctly handled. The rule now is that both the assertion and what follows
in the first alternative must satisfy the test.
9. If auto-callout was enabled in a pattern with a conditional group whose
condition was an assertion, PCRE could crash during matching, both with
pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec().
10. The PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY option was not working when pcre_dfa_exec() was
used for matching.
11. Unicode property support in character classes was not working for
characters (bytes) greater than 127 when not in UTF-8 mode.
12. Added the -M command line option to pcretest.
14. Added the non-standard REG_NOTEMPTY option to the POSIX interface.
15. Added the PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE match-time option.
16. Added comments and documentation about mis-use of no_arg in the C++
wrapper.
17. Implemented support for UTF-8 encoding in EBCDIC environments, a patch
from Martin Jerabek that uses macro names for all relevant character and
string constants.
18. Added to pcre_internal.h two configuration checks: (a) If both EBCDIC and
SUPPORT_UTF8 are set, give an error; (b) If SUPPORT_UCP is set without
SUPPORT_UTF8, define SUPPORT_UTF8. The "configure" script handles both of
these, but not everybody uses configure.
19. A conditional group that had only one branch was not being correctly
recognized as an item that could match an empty string. This meant that an
enclosing group might also not be so recognized, causing infinite looping
(and probably a segfault) for patterns such as ^"((?(?=[a])[^"])|b)*"$
with the subject "ab", where knowledge that the repeated group can match
nothing is needed in order to break the loop.
20. If a pattern that was compiled with callouts was matched using pcre_dfa_
exec(), but without supplying a callout function, matching went wrong.
21. If PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT occurred during a recursion, there was a memory
leak if the size of the offset vector was greater than 30. When the vector
is smaller, the saved offsets during recursion go onto a local stack
vector, but for larger vectors malloc() is used. It was failing to free
when the recursion yielded PCRE_ERROR_MATCH_LIMIT (or any other "abnormal"
error, in fact).
22. There was a missing #ifdef SUPPORT_UTF8 round one of the variables in the
heapframe that is used only when UTF-8 support is enabled. This caused no
problem, but was untidy.
23. Steven Van Ingelgem's patch to CMakeLists.txt to change the name
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR to PROJECT_BINARY_DIR so that it works when PCRE is
included within another project.
24. Steven Van Ingelgem's patches to add more options to the CMake support,
slightly modified by me:
(a) PCRE_BUILD_TESTS can be set OFF not to build the tests, including
not building pcregrep.
(b) PCRE_BUILD_PCREGREP can be see OFF not to build pcregrep, but only
if PCRE_BUILD_TESTS is also set OFF, because the tests use pcregrep.
25. Forward references, both numeric and by name, in patterns that made use of
duplicate group numbers, could behave incorrectly or give incorrect errors,
because when scanning forward to find the reference group, PCRE was not
taking into account the duplicate group numbers. A pattern such as
^X(?3)(a)(?|(b)|(q))(Y) is an example.
26. Changed a few more instances of "const unsigned char *" to USPTR, making
the feature of a custom pointer more persuasive (as requested by a user).
27. Wrapped the definitions of fileno and isatty for Windows, which appear in
pcretest.c, inside #ifndefs, because it seems they are sometimes already
pre-defined.
28. Added support for (*UTF8) at the start of a pattern.
29. Arrange for flags added by the "release type" setting in CMake to be shown
in the configuration summary.

DISTNAME= pcre-7.9

Update pcre to version 3.4
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 3.1 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.

Updated to version 3.7. Changes since 3.4:
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.
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.

COMMENT= Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library
|
Update to 7.9. Set LICENSE to modified-bsd.
Version 7.9 11-Apr-09
---------------------
1. When building with support for bzlib/zlib (pcregrep) and/or readline
(pcretest), all targets were linked against these libraries. This included
libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp, even though they do not use these
libraries. This caused unwanted dependencies to be created. This problem
has been fixed, and now only pcregrep is linked with bzlib/zlib and only
pcretest is linked with readline.
2. The "typedef int BOOL" in pcre_internal.h that was included inside the
"#ifndef FALSE" condition by an earlier change (probably 7.8/18) has been
moved outside it again, because FALSE and TRUE are already defined in AIX,
but BOOL is not.
3. The pcre_config() function was treating the PCRE_MATCH_LIMIT and
PCRE_MATCH_LIMIT_RECURSION values as ints, when they should be long ints.
4. The pcregrep documentation said spaces were inserted as well as colons (or
hyphens) following file names and line numbers when outputting matching
lines. This is not true; no spaces are inserted. I have also clarified the
wording for the --colour (or --color) option.
5. In pcregrep, when --colour was used with -o, the list of matching strings
was not coloured; this is different to GNU grep, so I have changed it to be
the same.
6. When --colo(u)r was used in pcregrep, only the first matching substring in
each matching line was coloured. Now it goes on to look for further matches
of any of the test patterns, which is the same behaviour as GNU grep.
7. A pattern that could match an empty string could cause pcregrep to loop; it
doesn't make sense to accept an empty string match in pcregrep, so I have
locked it out (using PCRE's PCRE_NOTEMPTY option). By experiment, this
seems to be how GNU grep behaves.
8. The pattern (?(?=.*b)b|^) was incorrectly compiled as "match must be at
start or after a newline", because the conditional assertion was not being
correctly handled. The rule now is that both the assertion and what follows
in the first alternative must satisfy the test.
9. If auto-callout was enabled in a pattern with a conditional group whose
condition was an assertion, PCRE could crash during matching, both with
pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec().
10. The PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY option was not working when pcre_dfa_exec() was
used for matching.
11. Unicode property support in character classes was not working for
characters (bytes) greater than 127 when not in UTF-8 mode.
12. Added the -M command line option to pcretest.
14. Added the non-standard REG_NOTEMPTY option to the POSIX interface.
15. Added the PCRE_NO_START_OPTIMIZE match-time option.
16. Added comments and documentation about mis-use of no_arg in the C++
wrapper.
17. Implemented support for UTF-8 encoding in EBCDIC environments, a patch
from Martin Jerabek that uses macro names for all relevant character and
string constants.
18. Added to pcre_internal.h two configuration checks: (a) If both EBCDIC and
SUPPORT_UTF8 are set, give an error; (b) If SUPPORT_UCP is set without
SUPPORT_UTF8, define SUPPORT_UTF8. The "configure" script handles both of
these, but not everybody uses configure.
19. A conditional group that had only one branch was not being correctly
recognized as an item that could match an empty string. This meant that an
enclosing group might also not be so recognized, causing infinite looping
(and probably a segfault) for patterns such as ^"((?(?=[a])[^"])|b)*"$
with the subject "ab", where knowledge that the repeated group can match
nothing is needed in order to break the loop.
20. If a pattern that was compiled with callouts was matched using pcre_dfa_
exec(), but without supplying a callout function, matching went wrong.
21. If PCRE_ERROR_MATCHLIMIT occurred during a recursion, there was a memory
leak if the size of the offset vector was greater than 30. When the vector
is smaller, the saved offsets during recursion go onto a local stack
vector, but for larger vectors malloc() is used. It was failing to free
when the recursion yielded PCRE_ERROR_MATCH_LIMIT (or any other "abnormal"
error, in fact).
22. There was a missing #ifdef SUPPORT_UTF8 round one of the variables in the
heapframe that is used only when UTF-8 support is enabled. This caused no
problem, but was untidy.
23. Steven Van Ingelgem's patch to CMakeLists.txt to change the name
CMAKE_BINARY_DIR to PROJECT_BINARY_DIR so that it works when PCRE is
included within another project.
24. Steven Van Ingelgem's patches to add more options to the CMake support,
slightly modified by me:
(a) PCRE_BUILD_TESTS can be set OFF not to build the tests, including
not building pcregrep.
(b) PCRE_BUILD_PCREGREP can be see OFF not to build pcregrep, but only
if PCRE_BUILD_TESTS is also set OFF, because the tests use pcregrep.
25. Forward references, both numeric and by name, in patterns that made use of
duplicate group numbers, could behave incorrectly or give incorrect errors,
because when scanning forward to find the reference group, PCRE was not
taking into account the duplicate group numbers. A pattern such as
^X(?3)(a)(?|(b)|(q))(Y) is an example.
26. Changed a few more instances of "const unsigned char *" to USPTR, making
the feature of a custom pointer more persuasive (as requested by a user).
27. Wrapped the definitions of fileno and isatty for Windows, which appear in
pcretest.c, inside #ifndefs, because it seems they are sometimes already
pre-defined.
28. Added support for (*UTF8) at the start of a pattern.
29. Arrange for flags added by the "release type" setting in CMake to be shown
in the configuration summary.

Update to 6.2:
Version 6.2 01-Aug-05
---------------------
1. There was no test for integer overflow of quantifier values. A construction
such as {1111111111111111} would give undefined results. What is worse, if
a minimum quantifier for a parenthesized subpattern overflowed and became
negative, the calculation of the memory size went wrong. This could have
led to memory overwriting.
2. Building PCRE using VPATH was broken. Hopefully it is now fixed.
3. Added "b" to the 2nd argument of fopen() in dftables.c, for non-Unix-like
operating environments where this matters.
4. Applied Giuseppe Maxia's patch to add additional features for controlling
PCRE options from within the C++ wrapper.
5. Named capturing subpatterns were not being correctly counted when a pattern
was compiled. This caused two problems: (a) If there were more than 100
such subpatterns, the calculation of the memory needed for the whole
compiled pattern went wrong, leading to an overflow error. (b) Numerical
back references of the form \12, where the number was greater than 9, were
not recognized as back references, even though there were sufficient
previous subpatterns.
6. Two minor patches to pcrecpp.cc in order to allow it to compile on older
versions of gcc, e.g. 2.95.4.
Version 6.1 21-Jun-05
---------------------
1. There was one reference to the variable "posix" in pcretest.c that was not
surrounded by "#if !defined NOPOSIX".
2. Make it possible to compile pcretest without DFA support, UTF8 support, or
the cross-check on the old pcre_info() function, for the benefit of the
cut-down version of PCRE that is currently imported into Exim.
3. A (silly) pattern starting with (?i)(?-i) caused an internal space
allocation error. I've done the easy fix, which wastes 2 bytes for sensible
patterns that start (?i) but I don't think that matters. The use of (?i) is
just an example; this all applies to the other options as well.
4. Since libtool seems to echo the compile commands it is issuing, the output
from "make" can be reduced a bit by putting "@" in front of each libtool
compile command.
5. Patch from the folks at Google for configure.in to be a bit more thorough
in checking for a suitable C++ installation before trying to compile the
C++ stuff. This should fix a reported problem when a compiler was present,
but no suitable headers.
6. The man pages all had just "PCRE" as their title. I have changed them to
be the relevant file name. I have also arranged that these names are
retained in the file doc/pcre.txt, which is a concatenation in text format
of all the man pages except the little individual ones for each function.
7. The NON-UNIX-USE file had not been updated for the different set of source
files that come with release 6. I also added a few comments about the C++
wrapper.
Version 6.0 07-Jun-05
---------------------
1. Some minor internal re-organization to help with my DFA experiments.
2. Some missing #ifdef SUPPORT_UCP conditionals in pcretest and printint that
didn't matter for the library itself when fully configured, but did matter
when compiling without UCP support, or within Exim, where the ucp files are
not imported.
3. Refactoring of the library code to split up the various functions into
different source modules. The addition of the new DFA matching code (see
below) to a single monolithic source would have made it really too
unwieldy, quite apart from causing all the code to be include in a
statically linked application, when only some functions are used. This is
relevant even without the DFA addition now that patterns can be compiled in
one application and matched in another.
The downside of splitting up is that there have to be some external
functions and data tables that are used internally in different modules of
the library but which are not part of the API. These have all had their
names changed to start with "_pcre_" so that they are unlikely to clash
with other external names.
4. Added an alternate matching function, pcre_dfa_exec(), which matches using
a different (DFA) algorithm. Although it is slower than the original
function, it does have some advantages for certain types of matching
problem.
5. Upgrades to pcretest in order to test the features of pcre_dfa_exec(),
including restarting after a partial match.
6. A patch for pcregrep that defines INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES if it is not
defined when compiling for Windows was sent to me. I have put it into the
code, though I have no means of testing or verifying it.
7. Added the pcre_refcount() auxiliary function.
8. Added the PCRE_FIRSTLINE option. This constrains an unanchored pattern to
match before or at the first newline in the subject string. In pcretest,
the /f option on a pattern can be used to set this.
9. A repeated \w when used in UTF-8 mode with characters greater than 256
would behave wrongly. This has been present in PCRE since release 4.0.
10. A number of changes to the pcregrep command:
(a) Refactored how -x works; insert ^(...)$ instead of setting
PCRE_ANCHORED and checking the length, in preparation for adding
something similar for -w.
(b) Added the -w (match as a word) option.
(c) Refactored the way lines are read and buffered so as to have more
than one at a time available.
(d) Implemented a pcregrep test script.
(e) Added the -M (multiline match) option. This allows patterns to match
over several lines of the subject. The buffering ensures that at least
8K, or the rest of the document (whichever is the shorter) is available
for matching (and similarly the previous 8K for lookbehind assertions).
(f) Changed the --help output so that it now says
-w, --word-regex(p)
instead of two lines, one with "regex" and the other with "regexp"
because that confused at least one person since the short forms are the
same. (This required a bit of code, as the output is generated
automatically from a table. It wasn't just a text change.)
(g) -- can be used to terminate pcregrep options if the next thing isn't an
option but starts with a hyphen. Could be a pattern or a path name
starting with a hyphen, for instance.
(h) "-" can be given as a file name to represent stdin.
(i) When file names are being printed, "(standard input)" is used for
the standard input, for compatibility with GNU grep. Previously
"<stdin>" was used.
(j) The option --label=xxx can be used to supply a name to be used for
stdin when file names are being printed. There is no short form.
(k) Re-factored the options decoding logic because we are going to add
two more options that take data. Such options can now be given in four
different ways, e.g. "-fname", "-f name", "--file=name", "--file name".
(l) Added the -A, -B, and -C options for requesting that lines of context
around matches be printed.
(m) Added the -L option to print the names of files that do not contain
any matching lines, that is, the complement of -l.
(n) The return code is 2 if any file cannot be opened, but pcregrep does
continue to scan other files.
(o) The -s option was incorrectly implemented. For compatibility with other
greps, it now suppresses the error message for a non-existent or non-
accessible file (but not the return code). There is a new option called
-q that suppresses the output of matching lines, which was what -s was
previously doing.
(p) Added --include and --exclude options to specify files for inclusion
and exclusion when recursing.
11. The Makefile was not using the Autoconf-supported LDFLAGS macro properly.
Hopefully, it now does.
12. Missing cast in pcre_study().
13. Added an "uninstall" target to the makefile.
14. Replaced "extern" in the function prototypes in Makefile.in with
"PCRE_DATA_SCOPE", which defaults to 'extern' or 'extern "C"' in the Unix
world, but is set differently for Windows.
15. Added a second compiling function called pcre_compile2(). The only
difference is that it has an extra argument, which is a pointer to an
integer error code. When there is a compile-time failure, this is set
non-zero, in addition to the error test pointer being set to point to an
error message. The new argument may be NULL if no error number is required
(but then you may as well call pcre_compile(), which is now just a
wrapper). This facility is provided because some applications need a
numeric error indication, but it has also enabled me to tidy up the way
compile-time errors are handled in the POSIX wrapper.
16. Added VPATH=.libs to the makefile; this should help when building with one
prefix path and installing with another. (Or so I'm told by someone who
knows more about this stuff than I do.)
17. Added a new option, REG_DOTALL, to the POSIX function regcomp(). This
passes PCRE_DOTALL to the pcre_compile() function, making the "." character
match everything, including newlines. This is not POSIX-compatible, but
somebody wanted the feature. From pcretest it can be activated by using
both the P and the s flags.
18. AC_PROG_LIBTOOL appeared twice in Makefile.in. Removed one.
19. libpcre.pc was being incorrectly installed as executable.
20. A couple of places in pcretest check for end-of-line by looking for '\n';
it now also looks for '\r' so that it will work unmodified on Windows.
21. Added Google's contributed C++ wrapper to the distribution.
22. Added some untidy missing memory free() calls in pcretest, to keep
Electric Fence happy when testing.

Update to 5.0:
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.
