Changed the type of magic_number from int to long int so that it works +properly on 16-bit systems. + +2. Fixed a bug which caused patterns starting with .* not to work correctly +when the subject string contained newline characters. PCRE was assuming +anchoring for such patterns in all cases, which is not correct because .* will +not pass a newline unless PCRE_DOTALL is set. It now assumes anchoring only if +DOTALL is set at top level; otherwise it knows that patterns starting with .* +must be retried after every newline in the subject. + + +Version 2.04 18-Feb-99 +---------------------- + +1. For parenthesized subpatterns with repeats whose minimum was zero, the +computation of the store needed to hold the pattern was incorrect (too large). +If such patterns were nested a few deep, this could multiply and become a real +problem. + +2. Added /M option to pcretest to show the memory requirement of a specific +pattern. Made -m a synonym of -s (which does this globally) for compatibility. + +3. Subpatterns of the form (regex){n,m} (i.e. limited maximum) were being +compiled in such a way that the backtracking after subsequent failure was +pessimal. Something like (a){0,3} was compiled as (a)?(a)?(a)? instead of +((a)((a)(a)?)?)? with disastrous performance if the maximum was of any size. + + +Version 2.03 02-Feb-99 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed typo and small mistake in man page. + +2. Added 4th condition (GPL supersedes if conflict) and created separate +LICENCE file containing the conditions. + +3. Updated pcretest so that patterns such as /abc\/def/ work like they do in +Perl, that is the internal \ allows the delimiter to be included in the +pattern. Locked out the use of \ as a delimiter. If \ immediately follows +the final delimiter, add \ to the end of the pattern (to test the error). + +4. Added the convenience functions for extracting substrings after a successful +match. Updated pcretest to make it able to test these functions. + + +Version 2.02 14-Jan-99 +---------------------- + +1. Initialized the working variables associated with each extraction so that +their saving and restoring doesn't refer to uninitialized store. + +2. Put dummy code into study.c in order to trick the optimizer of the IBM C +compiler for OS/2 into generating correct code. Apparently IBM isn't going to +fix the problem. + +3. Pcretest: the timing code wasn't using LOOPREPEAT for timing execution +calls, and wasn't printing the correct value for compiling calls. Increased the +default value of LOOPREPEAT, and the number of significant figures in the +times. + +4. Changed "/bin/rm" in the Makefile to "-rm" so it works on Windows NT. + +5. Renamed "deftables" as "dftables" to get it down to 8 characters, to avoid +a building problem on Windows NT with a FAT file system. + + +Version 2.01 21-Oct-98 +---------------------- + +1. Changed the API for pcre_compile() to allow for the provision of a pointer +to character tables built by pcre_maketables() in the current locale. If NULL +is passed, the default tables are used. + + +Version 2.00 24-Sep-98 +---------------------- + +1. Since the (>?) facility is in Perl 5.005, don't require PCRE_EXTRA to enable +it any more. + +2. Allow quantification of (?>) groups, and make it work correctly. + +3. The first character computation wasn't working for (?>) groups. + +4. Correct the implementation of \Z (it is permitted to match on the \n at the +end of the subject) and add 5.005's \z, which really does match only at the +very end of the subject. + +5. Remove the \X "cut" facility; Perl doesn't have it, and (?> is neater. + +6. Remove the ability to specify CASELESS, MULTILINE, DOTALL, and +DOLLAR_END_ONLY at runtime, to make it possible to implement the Perl 5.005 +localized options. All options to pcre_study() were also removed. + +7. Add other new features from 5.005: + + $(?<= positive lookbehind + $(?<! negative lookbehind + (?imsx-imsx) added the unsetting capability + such a setting is global if at outer level; local otherwise + (?imsx-imsx:) non-capturing groups with option setting + (?(cond)re|re) conditional pattern matching + + A backreference to itself in a repeated group matches the previous + captured string. + +8. General tidying up of studying (both automatic and via "study") +consequential on the addition of new assertions. + +9. As in 5.005, unlimited repeated groups that could match an empty substring +are no longer faulted at compile time. Instead, the loop is forcibly broken at +runtime if any iteration does actually match an empty substring. + +10. Include the RunTest script in the distribution. + +11. Added tests from the Perl 5.005_02 distribution. This showed up a few +discrepancies, some of which were old and were also with respect to 5.004. They +have now been fixed. + + +Version 1.09 28-Apr-98 +---------------------- + +1. A negated single character class followed by a quantifier with a minimum +value of one (e.g. [^x]{1,6} ) was not compiled correctly. This could lead to +program crashes, or just wrong answers. This did not apply to negated classes +containing more than one character, or to minima other than one. + + +Version 1.08 27-Mar-98 +---------------------- + +1. Add PCRE_UNGREEDY to invert the greediness of quantifiers. + +2. Add (?U) and (?X) to set PCRE_UNGREEDY and PCRE_EXTRA respectively. The +latter must appear before anything that relies on it in the pattern. + + +Version 1.07 16-Feb-98 +---------------------- + +1. A pattern such as /((a)*)*/ was not being diagnosed as in error (unlimited +repeat of a potentially empty string). + + +Version 1.06 23-Jan-98 +---------------------- + +1. Added Markus Oberhumer's little patches for C++. + +2. Literal strings longer than 255 characters were broken. + + +Version 1.05 23-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Negated character classes containing more than one character were failing if +PCRE_CASELESS was set at run time. + + +Version 1.04 19-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Corrected the man page, where some "const" qualifiers had been omitted. + +2. Made debugging output print "{0,xxx}" instead of just "{,xxx}" to agree with +input syntax. + +3. Fixed memory leak which occurred when a regex with back references was +matched with an offsets vector that wasn't big enough. The temporary memory +that is used in this case wasn't being freed if the match failed. + +4. Tidied pcretest to ensure it frees memory that it gets. + +5. Temporary memory was being obtained in the case where the passed offsets +vector was exactly big enough. + +6. Corrected definition of offsetof() from change 5 below. + +7. I had screwed up change 6 below and broken the rules for the use of +setjmp(). Now fixed. + + +Version 1.03 18-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. A erroneous regex with a missing opening parenthesis was correctly +diagnosed, but PCRE attempted to access brastack[-1], which could cause crashes +on some systems. + +2. Replaced offsetof(real_pcre, code) by offsetof(real_pcre, code[0]) because +it was reported that one broken compiler failed on the former because "code" is +also an independent variable. + +3. The erroneous regex a[]b caused an array overrun reference. + +4. A regex ending with a one-character negative class (e.g. /[^k]$/) did not +fail on data ending with that character. (It was going on too far, and checking +the next character, typically a binary zero.) This was specific to the +optimized code for single-character negative classes. + +5. Added a contributed patch from the TIN world which does the following: + + + Add an undef for memmove, in case the the system defines a macro for it. + + + Add a definition of offsetof(), in case there isn't one. (I don't know + the reason behind this - offsetof() is part of the ANSI standard - but + it does no harm). + + + Reduce the ifdef's in pcre.c using macro DPRINTF, thereby eliminating + most of the places where whitespace preceded '#'. I have given up and + allowed the remaining 2 cases to be at the margin. + + + Rename some variables in pcre to eliminate shadowing. This seems very + pedantic, but does no harm, of course. + +6. Moved the call to setjmp() into its own function, to get rid of warnings +from gcc -Wall, and avoided calling it at all unless PCRE_EXTRA is used. + +7. Constructs such as \d{8,} were compiling into the equivalent of +\d{8}\d{0,65527} instead of \d{8}\d* which didn't make much difference to the +outcome, but in this particular case used more store than had been allocated, +which caused the bug to be discovered because it threw up an internal error. + +8. The debugging code in both pcre and pcretest for outputting the compiled +form of a regex was going wrong in the case of back references followed by +curly-bracketed repeats. + + +Version 1.02 12-Dec-97 +---------------------- + +1. Typos in pcre.3 and comments in the source fixed. + +2. Applied a contributed patch to get rid of places where it used to remove +'const' from variables, and fixed some signed/unsigned and uninitialized +variable warnings. + +3. Added the "runtest" target to Makefile. + +4. Set default compiler flag to -O2 rather than just -O. + + +Version 1.01 19-Nov-97 +---------------------- + +1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeat of empty string for patterns +like /([ab]*)*/, that is, for classes with more than one character in them. + +2. Likewise, it wasn't diagnosing patterns with "once-only" subpatterns, such +as /((?>a*))*/ (a PCRE_EXTRA facility). + + +Version 1.00 18-Nov-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added compile-time macros to support systems such as SunOS4 which don't have +memmove() or strerror() but have other things that can be used instead. + +2. Arranged that "make clean" removes the executables. + + +Version 0.99 27-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in code for optimizing classes with only one character. It was +initializing a 32-byte map regardless, which could cause it to run off the end +of the memory it had got. + +2. Added, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA, the proposed (?>REGEX) construction. + + +Version 0.98 22-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in code for handling temporary memory usage when there are more +back references than supplied space in the ovector. This could cause segfaults. + + +Version 0.97 21-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added the \X "cut" facility, conditional on PCRE_EXTRA. + +2. Optimized negated single characters not to use a bit map. + +3. Brought error texts together as macro definitions; clarified some of them; +fixed one that was wrong - it said "range out of order" when it meant "invalid +escape sequence". + +4. Changed some char * arguments to const char *. + +5. Added PCRE_NOTBOL and PCRE_NOTEOL (from POSIX). + +6. Added the POSIX-style API wrapper in pcreposix.a and testing facilities in +pcretest. + + +Version 0.96 16-Oct-97 +---------------------- + +1. Added a simple "pgrep" utility to the distribution. + +2. Fixed an incompatibility with Perl: "{" is now treated as a normal character +unless it appears in one of the precise forms "{ddd}", "{ddd,}", or "{ddd,ddd}" +where "ddd" means "one or more decimal digits". + +3. Fixed serious bug. If a pattern had a back reference, but the call to +pcre_exec() didn't supply a large enough ovector to record the related +identifying subpattern, the match always failed. PCRE now remembers the number +of the largest back reference, and gets some temporary memory in which to save +the offsets during matching if necessary, in order to ensure that +backreferences always work. + +4. Increased the compatibility with Perl in a number of ways: + + (a) . no longer matches \n by default; an option PCRE_DOTALL is provided + to request this handling. The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (b) $ matches before a terminating newline by default; an option + PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY is provided to override this (but not in multiline + mode). The option can be set at compile or exec time. + + (c) The handling of \ followed by a digit other than 0 is now supposed to be + the same as Perl's. If the decimal number it represents is less than 10 + or there aren't that many previous left capturing parentheses, an octal + escape is read. Inside a character class, it's always an octal escape, + even if it is a single digit. + + (d) An escaped but undefined alphabetic character is taken as a literal, + unless PCRE_EXTRA is set. Currently this just reserves the remaining + escapes. + + (e) {0} is now permitted. (The previous item is removed from the compiled + pattern). + +5. Changed all the names of code files so that the basic parts are no longer +than 10 characters, and abolished the teeny "globals.c" file. + +6. Changed the handling of character classes; they are now done with a 32-byte +bit map always. + +7. Added the -d and /D options to pcretest to make it possible to look at the +internals of compilation without having to recompile pcre. + + +Version 0.95 23-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. Fixed bug in pre-pass concerning escaped "normal" characters such as \x5c or +\x20 at the start of a run of normal characters. These were being treated as +real characters, instead of the source characters being re-checked. + + +Version 0.94 18-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. The functions are now thread-safe, with the caveat that the global variables +containing pointers to malloc() and free() or alternative functions are the +same for all threads. + +2. Get pcre_study() to generate a bitmap of initial characters for non- +anchored patterns when this is possible, and use it if passed to pcre_exec(). + + +Version 0.93 15-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. /(b)|(:+)/ was computing an incorrect first character. + +2. Add pcre_study() to the API and the passing of pcre_extra to pcre_exec(), +but not actually doing anything yet. + +3. Treat "-" characters in classes that cannot be part of ranges as literals, +as Perl does (e.g. [-az] or [az-]). + +4. Set the anchored flag if a branch starts with .* or .*? because that tests +all possible positions. + +5. Split up into different modules to avoid including unneeded functions in a +compiled binary. However, compile and exec are still in one module. The "study" +function is split off. + +6. The character tables are now in a separate module whose source is generated +by an auxiliary program - but can then be edited by hand if required. There are +now no calls to isalnum(), isspace(), isdigit(), isxdigit(), tolower() or +toupper() in the code. + +7. Turn the malloc/free funtions variables into pcre_malloc and pcre_free and +make them global. Abolish the function for setting them, as the caller can now +set them directly. + + +Version 0.92 11-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. A repeat with a fixed maximum and a minimum of 1 for an ordinary character +(e.g. /a{1,3}/) was broken (I mis-optimized it). + +2. Caseless matching was not working in character classes if the characters in +the pattern were in upper case. + +3. Make ranges like [W-c] work in the same way as Perl for caseless matching. + +4. Make PCRE_ANCHORED public and accept as a compile option. + +5. Add an options word to pcre_exec() and accept PCRE_ANCHORED and +PCRE_CASELESS at run time. Add escapes \A and \I to pcretest to cause it to +pass them. + +6. Give an error if bad option bits passed at compile or run time. + +7. Add PCRE_MULTILINE at compile and exec time, and (?m) as well. Add \M to +pcretest to cause it to pass that flag. + +8. Add pcre_info(), to get the number of identifying subpatterns, the stored +options, and the first character, if set. + +9. Recognize C+ or C{n,m} where n >= 1 as providing a fixed starting character. + + +Version 0.91 10-Sep-97 +---------------------- + +1. PCRE was failing to diagnose unlimited repeats of subpatterns that could +match the empty string as in /(a*)*/. It was looping and ultimately crashing. + +2. PCRE was looping on encountering an indefinitely repeated back reference to +a subpattern that had matched an empty string, e.g. /(a|)\1*/. It now does what +Perl does - treats the match as successful. + +**** |
