8    The only change in this release is the fixing of some bugs in Makefile.in for
9    the "install" target:
10    
11    (1) It was failing to install pcreposix.h.
12    
13    (2) It was overwriting the pcre.3 man page with the pcreposix.3 man page.

37    6. Added some simple autoconf support, placing the test data and the
38    documentation in separate directories, re-organizing some of the
39    information files, and making it build pcre-config (a GNU standard). Also added
40    libtool support for building PCRE as a shared library, which is now the
41    default.
42    
43    7. Got rid of the leading zero in the definition of PCRE_MINOR because 08 and
44    09 are not valid octal constants. Single digits will be used for minor values
45    less than 10.
46    
47    8. Defined REG_EXTENDED and REG_NOSUB as zero in the POSIX header, so that
48    existing programs that set these in the POSIX interface can use PCRE without
49    modification.
50    
51    9. Added a new function, pcre_fullinfo() with an extensible interface. It can
52    return all that pcre_info() returns, plus additional data. The pcre_info()
53    function is retained for compatibility, but is considered to be obsolete.
54    
55    10. Added experimental recursion feature (?R) to handle one common case that
56    Perl 5.6 will be able to do with (?p{...}).
57    
58    11. Added support for POSIX character classes like [:alpha:], which Perl is
59    adopting.
