+Release 7.3 09-Aug-07
+---------------------
+
+Most changes are bug fixes. Some that are not:
+
+1. There is some support for Perl 5.10's experimental "backtracking control
+   verbs" such as (*PRUNE).
+
+2. UTF-8 checking is now as per RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279; this is more
+   restrictive in the strings it accepts.
+
+3. Checking for potential integer overflow has been made more dynamic, and as a
+   consequence there is no longer a hard limit on the size of a subpattern that
+   has a limited repeat count.
