-Release 7.1 20-Mar-07
+Release 7.2 30-Apr-07
 ---------------------
 
-There are no new features in this release. A few bugs are fixed (see ChangeLog
-for details), but the major change is a complete re-implementation of the build
-system. This now has full Autotools support and so is now "standard" in some
-sense. It should help with compiling PCRE in a wide variety of environments.
+WARNING: saved patterns that were compiled by earlier versions of PCRE must be
+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
+wrong. Previously, three libraries were built, but each could function
+independently. For example, the pcreposix library also included all the
+functions from the basic pcre library. The change is that the three libraries
+are no longer independent. They are like the Unix libraries. To use the
+pcreposix functions, for example, you need to link with both the pcreposix and
+the basic pcre library.
+
+Some more features from Perl 5.10 have been added:
+
+  (?-n) and (?+n) relative references for recursion and subroutines.
+
+  (Not sure if this one is actually in Perl 5.10)
+  (?(-n) and (?(+n) relative references as conditions.
+
+  \K to reset the start of the matched string; for example, (foo)\Kbar
+  matches bar preceded by foo, but only sets bar as the matched string.
+  
+  (?| introduces a group where the capturing parentheses in each alternative 
+  start from the same number; for example, (?|(abc)|(xyz)) sets capturing 
+  parentheses number 1 in both cases.
+
+
+Release 7.1 24-Apr-07
+---------------------
+
+There is only one new feature in this release: a linebreak setting of
+PCRE_NEWLINE_ANYCRLF. It is a cut-down version of PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY, which
+recognizes only CRLF, CR, and LF as linebreaks.
+
+A few bugs are fixed (see ChangeLog for details), but the major change is a
+complete re-implementation of the build system. This now has full Autotools
+support and so is now "standard" in some sense. It should help with compiling
+PCRE in a wide variety of environments.
 
 NOTE: when building shared libraries for Windows, three dlls are now built,
 called libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp. Previously, everything was
