    1 Version 0.12
    2 
    3 * regex.c does not #define bcmp/bcopy/bzero if they already are.
    4 
    5 * regex.h does not redefine `const' if it is already defined, even if
    6   __STDC__ is not defined.
    7 
    8 * RE_SYNTAX_ED added (same as POSIX BRE's).
    9 
   10 * The following bugs have been fixed, among others:
   11   * The pattern \w+ doesn't infinite loop.
   12   * The pattern ".+\n" is compiled correctly.
   13   * Expressions with more than MAX_REGNUM groups are compiled correctly.
   14 
   15 * Patterns that end in a repetition operator (e.g., `*') match
   16   slightly faster if no looping is actually necessary.
   17 
   18 Version 0.11 (17 Sep 92)
   19 
   20 * Back-references to nonexistent subexpressions, as in the r.e. `abc\1',
   21   are always invalid.  Previously, they could match the literal digit,
   22   e.g., the stated r.e. might have matched `abc1'.
   23 
   24 * Empty subexpressions are always valid (POSIX leaves this undefined).
   25 
   26 * Simplified rules for ^ and $ being anchors.
   27 
   28 * One minor speedup (rewriting the C procedure `pop_failure_point' as a
   29   macro again).
   30 
   31 * Bug fixes involving:
   32     - Declarations in regex.h and non-ANSI compilers.
   33     - Bracket expressions with characters between 0x80-0xff.
   34     - Memory leak in re_match_2 on systems requiring `alloca (0)' to
   35       free alloca'd storage.
   36 
   37 * Test and documentation files moved into subdirectories.
   38 
   39 Version 0.10 (9 Sep 92)
   40 
   41 * `obscure_syntax' is now called `re_default_syntax'.
   42 
   43 * `re_comp's return type is no longer `const', for compatibility with BSD.
   44 
   45 * POSIX syntaxes now include as much functionality as possible
   46   (consistent with the standard).
   47 
   48 * Compilation conditionals normalized to what the rest of GNU is
   49   migrating towards these days.
   50 
   51 * Bug fixes involving:
   52     - Ranges with characters between 0x80 and 0xff, e.g., [\001-\377].
   53     - `re_compile_fastmap' and the sequence `.*\n'.
   54     - Intervals with exact counts, e.g., a{5}.
   55 
   56 * Changed distribution to use a standard Makefile, install the info
   57   files, use a configure script, etc.
   58 
   59 Version 0.9
   60 
   61 * The longest match was not always chosen: `a*|ab' didn't match `aab'.
