Version 2.05 21-Apr-99 |
6 |
|
---------------------- |
7 |
|
|
8 |
|
1. Changed the type of magic_number from int to long int so that it works |
9 |
|
properly on 16-bit systems. |
10 |
|
|
11 |
|
2. Fixed a bug which caused patterns starting with .* not to work correctly |
12 |
|
when the subject string contained newline characters. PCRE was assuming |
13 |
|
anchoring for such patterns in all cases, which is not correct because .* will |
14 |
|
not pass a newline unless PCRE_DOTALL is set. It now assumes anchoring only if |
15 |
|
DOTALL is set at top level; otherwise it knows that patterns starting with .* |
16 |
|
must be retried after every newline in the subject. |

Version 2.04 18-Feb-99 |
20 |
|
---------------------- |
21 |
|
|
22 |
|
1. For parenthesized subpatterns with repeats whose minimum was zero, the |
23 |
|
computation of the store needed to hold the pattern was incorrect (too large). |
24 |
|
If such patterns were nested a few deep, this could multiply and become a real |
25 |
|
problem. |
26 |
|
|
27 |
|
2. Added /M option to pcretest to show the memory requirement of a specific |
28 |
|
pattern. Made -m a synonym of -s (which does this globally) for compatibility. |
29 |
|
|
30 |
|
3. Subpatterns of the form (regex){n,m} (i.e. limited maximum) were being |
31 |
|
compiled in such a way that the backtracking after subsequent failure was |
32 |
|
pessimal. Something like (a){0,3} was compiled as (a)?(a)?(a)? instead of |
33 |
|
((a)((a)(a)?)?)? with disastrous performance if the maximum was of any size. |

Version 2.03 02-Feb-99 |
37 |
|
---------------------- |
38 |
|
|
39 |
|
1. Fixed typo and small mistake in man page. |
40 |
|
|
41 |
|
2. Added 4th condition (GPL supersedes if conflict) and created separate |
42 |
|
LICENCE file containing the conditions. |
43 |
|
|
44 |
|
3. Updated pcretest so that patterns such as /abc\/def/ work like they do in |
45 |
|
Perl, that is the internal \ allows the delimiter to be included in the |
46 |
|
pattern. Locked out the use of \ as a delimiter. If \ immediately follows |
47 |
|
the final delimiter, add \ to the end of the pattern (to test the error). |
48 |
|
|
49 |
|
4. Added the convenience functions for extracting substrings after a successful |
50 |
|
match. Updated pcretest to make it able to test these functions. |

Version 2.02 14-Jan-99 |
54 |
|
---------------------- |
55 |
|
|
56 |
|
1. Initialized the working variables associated with each extraction so that |
57 |
|
their saving and restoring doesn't refer to uninitialized store. |
58 |
|
|
59 |
|
2. Put dummy code into study.c in order to trick the optimizer of the IBM C |
60 |
|
compiler for OS/2 into generating correct code. Apparently IBM isn't going to |
61 |
|
fix the problem. |
62 |
|
|
63 |
|
3. Pcretest: the timing code wasn't using LOOPREPEAT for timing execution |
64 |
|
calls, and wasn't printing the correct value for compiling calls. Increased the |
65 |
|
default value of LOOPREPEAT, and the number of significant figures in the |
66 |
|
times. |
67 |
|
|
68 |
|
4. Changed "/bin/rm" in the Makefile to "-rm" so it works on Windows NT. |
69 |
|
|
70 |
|
5. Renamed "deftables" as "dftables" to get it down to 8 characters, to avoid |
71 |
|
a building problem on Windows NT with a FAT file system. |
72 |
|

|
Version 2.01 21-Oct-98 |
75 |
|
---------------------- |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
1. Changed the API for pcre_compile() to allow for the provision of a pointer |
78 |
|
to character tables built by pcre_maketables() in the current locale. If NULL |
79 |
|
is passed, the default tables are used. |
