It now handles newlines according to the set newline convention. + +8. SunOS4 doesn't have strerror() or strtoul(); pcregrep dealt with the + former, but used strtoul(), whereas pcretest avoided strtoul() but did not + cater for a lack of strerror(). These oversights have been fixed. + +9. Added --match-limit and --recursion-limit to pcregrep. + +10. Added two casts needed to build with Visual Studio when NO_RECURSE is set. + +11. When the -o option was used, pcregrep was setting a return code of 1, even + when matches were found, and --line-buffered was not being honoured. + +12. Added an optional parentheses number to the -o and --only-matching options + of pcregrep. + +13. Imitating Perl's /g action for multiple matches is tricky when the pattern + can match an empty string. The code to do it in pcretest and pcredemo + needed fixing: + + (a) When the newline convention was "crlf", pcretest got it wrong, skipping + only one byte after an empty string match just before CRLF (this case + just got forgotten; "any" and "anycrlf" were OK). + + (b) The pcretest code also had a bug, causing it to loop forever in UTF-8 + mode when an empty string match preceded an ASCII character followed by + a non-ASCII character. (The code for advancing by one character rather + than one byte was nonsense.) + + (c) The pcredemo.c sample program did not have any code at all to handle + the cases when CRLF is a valid newline sequence. + +14. Neither pcre_exec() nor pcre_dfa_exec() was checking that the value given + as a starting offset was within the subject string. There is now a new + error, PCRE_ERROR_BADOFFSET, which is returned if the starting offset is + negative or greater than the length of the string. In order to test this, + pcretest is extended to allow the setting of negative starting offsets. + +15. In both pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec() the code for checking that the + starting offset points to the beginning of a UTF-8 character was + unnecessarily clumsy. I tidied it up. + +16. Added PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF8 to make it possible to distinguish between a + bad UTF-8 sequence and one that is incomplete. Version 8.10 25-Jun-2010
