(This issue also affects the unversioned, pre-libtool libpcre package, and as nothing currently in the net release depends on it, it will likely be removed soon.) libpcre0-6.3 should be source- and binary-compatible with previous versions. The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl, with just a few differences. The current implementation of PCRE (release 6.x) corresponds approximately with Perl 5.8, including support for UTF-8 encoded strings and Unicode general category properties.
