X-loop: linux_rln.harvest New News: ========= Version 4.4-2 of the PCRE packages is now available for download. This corresponds to the latest official PCRE release. The only change relative to 4.4-1 is that the Cygwin-specific README moved to its proper place in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin To update your installation: =========================== Run the Setup utility from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and pick up the proper packages. Problem reports: =============== Please send reports of any problems related to these packages to cygwin AT cygwin DOT com and *do not* mail me personally. I moniter the list on a regular basis. Old News: ======== The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, as well as a set of wrapper functions that correspond to the POSIX regular expression API. The PCRE library is free, even for building commercial software. have a look at http://www.pcre.org for details Port Notes: =========== ----- version 4.4-2 ----- Move the Cygwin-special README to the proper location ----- version 4.4-1 ----- Patches applied to 4.3-x were largely integrated into the canonical package. The rest of the patches (of course) still apply ----- version 4.3-4 ----- Make doc package FHS compliant ----- version 4.3-3 ----- Recompile against Cygwin-1.5.0 ----- version 4.3-2 ----- Added pcre-config script to pcre-devel package ----- version 4.3-1 ----- The same patches as applied to version 4.2-2 were applied to this version. ----- version 4.2-2 ----- A slight modification was made to the packaging script to kill a bug that had snuck into the tarballs ----- version 4.2-1 ----- The patch I made earlier, which got into the canonical PCRE, worked around using Libtool on Cygwin without there being any need to do so, as Gerrit P. Haase kindly pointed out. With his patch and one by Charles Wilson, the Cygwin build procedure is just like any *NIX - due thanks go to the both of them. ----- versions prior to 4.2-1 ----- Anything prior to 4.2-1 was maintained by Corinna Vinschen - any notes on those versions are available in the mail archives. rlc -- It's time to boot, do your boot ROMs know where your disk controllers are?
