+News about PCRE releases
+------------------------
+
+Release 3.0 01-Feb-00
+---------------------
+
+1. A "configure" script is now used to configure PCRE for Unix systems. It
+builds a Makefile, a config.h file, and the pcre-config script.
+
+2. PCRE is built as a shared library by default.
+
+3. There is support for POSIX classes such as [:alpha:].
+
+5. There is an experimental recursion feature.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+          IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSIONS BEFORE 2.00
+
+Please note that there has been a change in the API such that a larger
+ovector is required at matching time, to provide some additional workspace.
+The new man page has details. This change was necessary in order to support
+some of the new functionality in Perl 5.005.
+
+          IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.00
+
+Another (I hope this is the last!) change has been made to the API for the
+pcre_compile() function. An additional argument has been added to make it
+possible to pass over a pointer to character tables built in the current
+locale by pcre_maketables(). To use the default tables, this new arguement
+should be passed as NULL.
+
+          IMPORTANT FOR THOSE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.05
+
+Yet another (and again I hope this really is the last) change has been made
+to the API for the pcre_exec() function. An additional argument has been
+added to make it possible to start the match other than at the start of the
+subject string. This is important if there are lookbehinds. The new man
+page has the details, but you just want to convert existing programs, all
+you need to do is to stick in a new fifth argument to pcre_exec(), with a
+value of zero. For example, change
+
+  pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, options, ovec, ovecsize)
+to
+  pcre_exec(pattern, extra, subject, length, 0, options, ovec, ovecsize)
