Update to 7.0:
Release 7.0 23-Nov-06
---------------------
This release has a new major number because there have been some internal
upheavals to facilitate the addition of new optimizations and other facilities,
and to make subsequent maintenance and extension easier. Compilation is likely
to be a bit slower, but there should be no major effect on runtime performance.
Previously compiled patterns are NOT upwards compatible with this release. If
you have saved compiled patterns from a previous release, you will have to
re-compile them. Important changes that are visible to users are:
1. The Unicode property tables have been updated to Unicode 5.0.0, which adds
some more scripts.
2. The option PCRE_NEWLINE_ANY causes PCRE to recognize any Unicode newline
sequence as a newline.
3. The \R escape matches a single Unicode newline sequence as a single unit.
4. New features that will appear in Perl 5.10 are now in PCRE. These include
alternative Perl syntax for named parentheses, and Perl syntax for
recursion.
5. The C++ wrapper interface has been extended by the addition of a
QuoteMeta function and the ability to allow copy construction and
assignment.
