Release 8.01 19-Jan-2010 |
| 11 |
|
------------------------ |
| 12 |
|
|
| 13 |
|
This is a bug-fix release. Several bugs in the code itself and some bugs and |
| 14 |
|
infelicities in the build system have been fixed. |

Release 8.00 19-Oct-09 |
| 18 |
|
---------------------- |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
Bugs have been fixed in the library and in pcregrep. There are also some |
| 21 |
|
enhancements. Restrictions on patterns used for partial matching have been |
| 22 |
|
removed, extra information is given for partial matches, the partial matching |
| 23 |
|
process has been improved, and an option to make a partial match override a |
| 24 |
|
full match is available. The "study" process has been enhanced by finding a |
| 25 |
|
lower bound matching length. Groups with duplicate numbers may now have |
| 26 |
|
duplicated names without the use of PCRE_DUPNAMES. However, they may not have |
| 27 |
|
different names. The documentation has been revised to reflect these changes. |
| 28 |
|
The version number has been expanded to 3 digits as it is clear that the rate |
| 29 |
|
of change is not slowing down. |

|
|

Release 7.8 05-Sep-08 |

--------------------- |
| 40 |
|
|
| 41 |

More bug fixes, plus a performance improvement in Unicode character property |

|
Release 7.7 07-May-08 |
| 46 |
|
--------------------- |
| 47 |
|
|
| 48 |
|
This is once again mainly a bug-fix release, but there are a couple of new |
| 49 |
|
features. |
| 50 |
|
|
| 51 |
|
|
| 52 |
|
Release 7.6 28-Jan-08 |
| 53 |
|
--------------------- |
| 54 |
|
|
| 55 |
|
The main reason for having this release so soon after 7.5 is because it fixes a |
| 56 |
|
potential buffer overflow problem in pcre_compile() when run in UTF-8 mode. In |
| 57 |
|
addition, the CMake configuration files have been brought up to date. |
| 58 |
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
| 60 |
|
Release 7.5 10-Jan-08 |
| 61 |
|
--------------------- |
| 62 |
|
|
| 63 |
|
This is mainly a bug-fix release. However the ability to link pcregrep with |
| 64 |
|
libz or libbz2 and the ability to link pcretest with libreadline have been |
| 65 |
|
added. Also the --line-offsets and --file-offsets options were added to |
| 66 |
|
pcregrep. |
| 67 |
|
|
| 68 |
|
|
| 69 |
|
Release 7.4 21-Sep-07 |
| 70 |
|
--------------------- |
| 71 |
|
|
| 72 |
|
The only change of specification is the addition of options to control whether |
| 73 |
|
\R matches any Unicode line ending (the default) or just CR, LF, and CRLF. |
| 74 |
|
Otherwise, the changes are bug fixes and a refactoring to reduce the number of |
| 75 |
|
relocations needed in a shared library. There have also been some documentation |
| 76 |
|
updates, in particular, some more information about using CMake to build PCRE |
| 77 |
|
has been added to the NON-UNIX-USE file. |
