Again mainly a bug-fix and tidying release, with only a couple of new features: |
| 8 |
|
|
| 9 |
|
1. It's possible now to compile PCRE so that it does not use recursive |
| 10 |
|
function calls when matching. Instead it gets memory from the heap. This slows |
| 11 |
|
things down, but may be necessary on systems with limited stacks. |
| 12 |
|
|
| 13 |
|
2. UTF-8 string checking has been tightened to reject overlong sequences and to |
| 14 |
|
check that a starting offset points to the start of a character. Failure of the |
| 15 |
|
latter returns a new error code: PCRE_ERROR_BADUTF8_OFFSET. |
| 16 |
|
|
| 17 |
|
3. PCRE can now be compiled for systems that use EBCDIC code. |
