There are no new features in this release. A few bugs are fixed (see ChangeLog |
9 |
|
for details), but the major change is a complete re-implementation of the build |
10 |
|
system. This now has full Autotools support and so is now "standard" in some |
11 |
|
sense. It should help with compiling PCRE in a wide variety of environments. |
12 |
|
|
13 |
|
NOTE: when building shared libraries for Windows, three dlls are now built, |
14 |
|
called libpcre, libpcreposix, and libpcrecpp. Previously, everything was |
15 |
|
included in a single dll. |
16 |

|
Another important change is that the dftables auxiliary program is no longer |
18 |
|
compiled and run at "make" time by default. Instead, a default set of character |
19 |
|
tables (assuming ASCII coding) is used. If you want to use dftables to generate |
20 |
|
the character tables as previously, add --enable-rebuild-chartables to the |
21 |
|
"configure" command. You must do this if you are compiling PCRE to run on a |
22 |
|
system that uses EBCDIC code. |
23 |
|
|
24 |
|
There is a discussion about character tables in the README file. The default is |
25 |
|
not to use dftables so that that there is no problem when cross-compiling. |
