Changes for version 0.16 - 2010-04-09

  • Re-release on CPAN. The package was previously deleted so the only remaining re::engine::PCRE was an ancient one by Yves.
  • Use Dist::Zilla to build this distro.
  • Depend on perl 5.10.
  • Changes for 0.15 - 2007-12-18
    • Release by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • Make split // use RXf_NULL
    • ABSTRACT_FROM and LICENSE in Makefile.PL
  • Changes for 0.14 - 2007-12-18
    • Release by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • libpcre is no longer bundled with this module. Making a release every time pcre was updated would have been painful (and I was already out of date).
    • Killed M::I (again) in favor of ExtUtils::MakeMaker
  • Changes for 0.13 - 2007-07-16
    • Release by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • libpcre/Makefile.PL: Don't make the libpcre.so dynamic library
    • t/1-basic.t, PCRE.xs, LICENSE, Changes: s/\r\K\n//g;
  • Changes for 0.12 - 2007-07-12
    • Release by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • Moved all the pcre \.[ch]$ files into libpcre, the build system in now in two parts.
      • This makes things a bit cleaner and PCRE.h and pcre.h should not clash any more on case-insensitive file systems.
    • t/split-null.t: New failing test for split //
  • Changes for 0.11 - 2007-07-07
    • Release by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • PCRE.xs: Upgraded the split() optimization mechanism to match blead changes
    • PCRE.xs: Support multiple named captures
    • t/split.t: Fixet typo: foo|bar => x|y, test still fails though
    • t/perl/regexp_nc_tie.t: Pulled test from blead
    • t/perl/regexp.t: Enabled more tests (e.g. named capture)
    • Removed some C++ files from pcre that snuck in the distro
    • Makefile.PL: { use utf8; for the non-ascii author name }
  • Changes for 0.10 - 2007-06-23
    • Release from new comaint: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
    • Rewrote the whole thing to work on the latest blead which has undergone massive changes in the regex API. Threw out the old re::engine::PCRE and started fresh with re::engine::Plan9 as a base.
    • Upgraded to PCRE 7.2, now supports named captures
    • Made s/// work. Offsets weren't properly populated in exec in the old version
    • Brought back Module::Install to make the tarball huger than ever before, sorry Yves!
    • Lots of tests including some from perl core in t/
  • Changes for 0.09 - 2006-12-06
    • I missed a version check in the updated version of Makefile.PL Corrected here. Yves
  • Changes for 0.08 - 2006-12-06
    • Complete changeover to XS and as part of that switch to ExtUtils::MakeMaker This release is 30k smaller compressed!
    • Provide extra boot time logic to set up the correct pcre_malloc hooks so that the extension uses perls memory management routines and not malloc directly. This is especially important for threading as we have to ensure we are using shared memory.
    • Switch to a static build of PCRE, we dont need to export any of its API as we are statically linking to it anyway. This resolves some warnings on Win32.
    • Added a TODO list.
      • Contributed by: Yves Orton
  • Changes for 0.07 - 2006-12-06
    • Remove SWIG-related source files as they are no longer required.
  • Changes for 0.06 - 2006-12-05
    • Blead was patched in 29468 to resolve the issues raised by v 0.5 of this module. See: http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/29468 Contributed by: Yves Orton
  • Changes for 0.05 - 2006-12-05
    • Changes related to getting things to work on a threaded perl. This identified several issues with the API that needed to be worked around. Once the appropriate patches are applied to perl they wont be needed. Contributed by: Yves Orton
  • Changes for 0.04 - 2006-12-05
    • Build fixes for VC++. Reported by: Yves Orton
