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. + +4. When CRLF is a valid line-ending sequence, pcre_exec() and pcre_dfa_exec() + no longer advance by two characters instead of one when an unanchored match + fails at CRLF if there are explicit CR or LF matches within the pattern. + This gets rid of some anomalous effects that previously occurred. + +5. Some PCRE-specific settings for varying the newline options at the start of + a pattern have been added. + + Release 7.2 19-Jun-07 --------------------- |
