|
There is only one new feature in this release: a linebreak setting of |
| 9 |
|
PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF. It is a cut-down version of PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY, which |
| 10 |
|
recognizes only CRLF, CR, and LF as linebreaks. |
| 11 |
|
|

|
A few bugs are fixed (see ChangeLog for details), but the major change is a |
| 13 |
|
complete re-implementation of the build system. This now has full Autotools |
| 14 |
|
support and so is now "standard" in some sense. It should help with compiling |
| 15 |
|
PCRE in a wide variety of environments. |
| 16 |
|
|
| 17 |
|
NOTE: when building shared libraries for Windows, three dlls are now built, |
| 18 |
|
called libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp. Previously, everything was |
| 19 |
|
included in a single dll. |
| 20 |
|
|
| 21 |
|
Another important change is that the dftables auxiliary program is no longer |
| 22 |
|
compiled and run at "make" time by default. Instead, a default set of character |
| 23 |
|
tables (assuming ASCII coding) is used. If you want to use dftables to generate |
| 24 |
|
the character tables as previously, add --enable-rebuild-chartables to the |
| 25 |
|
"configure" command. You must do this if you are compiling PCRE to run on a |
| 26 |
|
system that uses EBCDIC code. |
| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
|
There is a discussion about character tables in the README file. The default is |
| 29 |
|
not to use dftables so that that there is no problem when cross-compiling. |
