101      RE::GlobalReplace(). As a result, the number of replacements returned was      RE::GlobalReplace(). As a result, the number of replacements returned was
102      double what it should be. I have removed one of the increments.      double what it should be. I removed one of the increments, but Craig sent a
103        later patch that removed the other one (the right fix) and added unit tests
104        that check the return values (which was not done before).

106  21. Several CMake things:  21. Several CMake things:
107    
108      (1) Arranged that, when cmake is used on Unix, the libraries end up with      (1) Arranged that, when cmake is used on Unix, the libraries end up with
109          the names libpcre and libpcreposix.          the names libpcre and libpcreposix, not just pcre and pcreposix.
110    
111      (2) Arranged for pcretest and pcregrep to link with the newly-built      (2) The above change means that pcretest and pcregrep are now correctly
112          libraries, not previously installed ones.          linked with the newly-built libraries, not previously installed ones.

114      (3) Added PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBREADLINE, PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBZ, PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBBZ2.      (3) Added PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBREADLINE, PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBZ, PCRE_SUPPORT_LIBBZ2.

116    22. In UTF-8 mode, with newline set to "any", a pattern such as .*a.*=.b.*
117        crashed when matching a string such as a\x{2029}b (note that \x{2029} is a
118        UTF-8 newline character). The key issue is that the pattern starts .*;
119        this means that the match must be either at the beginning, or after a
120        newline. The bug was in the code for advancing after a failed match and
121        checking that the new position followed a newline. It was not taking
122        account of UTF-8 characters correctly.
123    
124    23. PCRE was behaving differently from Perl in the way it recognized POSIX
125        character classes. PCRE was not treating the sequence [:...:] as a
126        character class unless the ... were all letters. Perl, however, seems to
127        allow any characters between [: and :], though of course it rejects as
128        unknown any "names" that contain non-letters, because all the known class
129        names consist only of letters. Thus, Perl gives an error for [[:1234:]],
130        for example, whereas PCRE did not - it did not recognize a POSIX character
131        class. This seemed a bit dangerous, so the code has been changed to be
132        closer to Perl. The behaviour is not identical to Perl, because PCRE will
133        diagnose an unknown class for, for example, [[:l\ower:]] where Perl will
134        treat it as [[:lower:]]. However, PCRE does now give "unknown" errors where
135        Perl does, and where it didn't before.
136    
137    24. Rewrite so as to remove the single use of %n from pcregrep because in some
138        Windows environments %n is disabled by default.
