-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2016-3ff646f51b 2016-02-29 18:02:25.607435 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : pcre2 Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 10.21 Release : 2.el6 URL : http://www.pcre.org/ Summary : Perl-compatible regular expression library Description : PCRE2 is a re-working of the original PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression) library to provide an entirely new API.

PCRE2 is written in C, and it has its own API. There are three sets of functions, one for the 8-bit library, which processes strings of bytes, one for the 16-bit library, which processes strings of 16-bit values, and one for the 32-bit library, which processes strings of 32-bit values. There are no C++ wrappers.

The distribution does contain a set of C wrapper functions for the 8-bit library that are based on the POSIX regular expression API (see the pcre2posix man page). These can be found in a library called libpcre2posix. Note that this just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE2; the regular expressions themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The POSIX API is restricted, and does not give full access to all of PCRE2's facilities.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

This release fixes a workspace overflow for expressions with (*ACCEPT) with deeply nested parentheses and it fixes pcretest for expressions with a callout inside a look-behind assertion. It also corrects reporting of unmatched closing parentheses. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update pcre2' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.

All packages are signed with the Fedora EPEL GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
