31  8.  Added four artifical Unicode properties to help with an option to make  8.  Added four artifical Unicode properties to help with an option to make
32      \s etc use properties (see next item). The new properties are: Xan      \s etc use properties (see next item). The new properties are: Xan
33      (alphanumeric), Xsp (Perl space), Xps (POSIX space), and Xwd (word).      (alphanumeric), Xsp (Perl space), Xps (POSIX space), and Xwd (word).

35  9.  Added PCRE_UCP to make \b, \d, \s, \w, and certain POSIX character classes  9.  Added PCRE_UCP to make \b, \d, \s, \w, and certain POSIX character classes

41      studied, and the match started with a letter with a code point greater than  
42    11. In UTF-8 mode, if a pattern that was compiled with PCRE_CASELESS was
43        studied, and the match started with a letter with a code point greater than
44      127 whose first byte was different to the first byte of the other case of      127 whose first byte was different to the first byte of the other case of
45      the letter, the other case of this starting letter was not recognized.      the letter, the other case of this starting letter was not recognized
46        (#976).
47  12. pcreposix.c included pcre.h before including pcre_internal.h. This caused a  
48      conflict in the definition of PCRE_EXP_DECL. I have removed the include of  12. If a pattern that was studied started with a repeated Unicode property
     pcre.h as pcre_internal.h includes pcre.h itself. (This may be a bit of  
     historical tidying that never got done.)  
   
 13. If a pattern that was studied started with a repeated Unicode property  
49      test, for example, \p{Nd}+, there was the theoretical possibility of      test, for example, \p{Nd}+, there was the theoretical possibility of
50      setting up an incorrect bitmap of starting bytes, but fortunately it could      setting up an incorrect bitmap of starting bytes, but fortunately it could
51      not have actually happened in practice until change 8 above was made (it      not have actually happened in practice until change 8 above was made (it
52      added property types that matched character-matching opcodes).      added property types that matched character-matching opcodes).
53    
54    13. pcre_study() now recognizes \h, \v, and \R when constructing a bit map of
55        possible starting bytes for non-anchored patterns.
56    
57    14. Extended the "auto-possessify" feature of pcre_compile(). It now recognizes
58        \R, and also a number of cases that involve Unicode properties, both
59        explicit and implicit when PCRE_UCP is set.
60    
61    15. If a repeated Unicode property match (e.g. \p{Lu}*) was used with non-UTF-8
62        input, it could crash or give wrong results if characters with values
63        greater than 0xc0 were present in the subject string. (Detail: it assumed
64        UTF-8 input when processing these items.)
65    
66    16. Added a lot of (int) casts to avoid compiler warnings in systems where
67        size_t is 64-bit (#991).
68    
69    17. Added a check for running out of memory when PCRE is compiled with
70        --disable-stack-for-recursion (#990).
71    
72    18. If the last data line in a file for pcretest does not have a newline on
73        the end, a newline was missing in the output.
74    
75  14. pcre_study() now recognizes \h, \v, and \R when constructing a bit map of  19. The default pcre_chartables.c file recognizes only ASCII characters (values
76      possible starting bytes for non-anchored patterns.      less than 128) in its various bitmaps. However, there is a facility for
77        generating tables according to the current locale when PCRE is compiled. It
78        turns out that in some environments, 0x85 and 0xa0, which are Unicode space
79        characters, are recognized by isspace() and therefore were getting set in
80        these tables. This caused a problem in UTF-8 mode when pcre_study() was
81        used to create a list of bytes that can start a match. For \s, it was
82        including 0x85 and 0xa0, which of course cannot start UTF-8 characters. I
83        have changed the code so that only real ASCII characters (less than 128)
84        are set in this case because the \s etc escapes are documented as
85        recognizing only ASCII characters. (When PCRE_UCP is set - see 9 above -
86        the code is different altogether.)
