WARNING: saved patterns that were compiled by earlier versions of PCRE must be |
| 9 |
|
recompiled for use with 7.2 (necessitated by the addition of \K). |

Correction to the notes for 7.1: the note about shared libraries for Windows is |
| 12 |
|
wrong. Previously, three libraries were built, but each could function |
| 13 |
|
independently. For example, the pcreposix library also included all the |
| 14 |
|
functions from the basic pcre library. The change is that the three libraries |
| 15 |
|
are no longer independent. They are like the Unix libraries. To use the |
| 16 |
|
pcreposix functions, for example, you need to link with both the pcreposix and |
| 17 |
|
the basic pcre library. |

Some more features from Perl 5.10 have been added: |
| 20 |
|
|
| 21 |
|
(?-n) and (?+n) relative references for recursion and subroutines. |
| 22 |
|
|
| 23 |
|
(Not sure if this one is actually in Perl 5.10) |
| 24 |
|
(?(-n) and (?(+n) relative references as conditions. |
| 25 |
|
|
| 26 |
|
\K to reset the start of the matched string; for example, (foo)\Kbar |
| 27 |
|
matches bar preceded by foo, but only sets bar as the matched string |
