Important changes in this release: |
8 |
|
|
9 |
|
1. A number of new features have been added to pcregrep. |
10 |
|
|
11 |
|
2. The Unicode property tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1.0, and the |
12 |
|
supported properties have been extended with script names such as "Arabic", |
13 |
|
and the derived properties "Any" and "L&". This has necessitated a change to |
14 |
|
the interal format of compiled patterns. Any saved compiled patterns that |
15 |
|
use \p or \P must be recompiled. |
16 |
|
|
17 |
|
3. The specification of recursion in patterns has been changed so that all |
18 |
|
recursive subpatterns are automatically treated as atomic groups. Thus, for |
19 |
|
example, (?R) is treated as if it were (?>(?R)). This is necessary because |
20 |
|
otherwise there are situations where recursion does not work. |

See the ChangeLog for a complete list of changes, which include a number of bug |
23 |
|
fixes and tidies. |
