Log Message:
Update to 7.2:

Release 7.2 19-Jun-07
---------------------

WARNING: saved patterns that were compiled by earlier versions of PCRE must be
recompiled for use with 7.2 (necessitated by the addition of \K, \h, \H, \v,
and \V).

Correction to the notes for 7.1: the note about shared libraries for Windows is
wrong. Previously, three libraries were built, but each could function
independently. For example, the pcreposix library also included all the
functions from the basic pcre library. The change is that the three libraries
are no longer independent. They are like the Unix libraries. To use the
pcreposix functions, for example, you need to link with both the pcreposix and
the basic pcre library.

Some more features from Perl 5.10 have been added:

  (?-n) and (?+n) relative references for recursion and subroutines.

  (?(-n) and (?(+n) relative references as conditions.

  \k{name} and \g{name} are synonyms for \k<name>.

  \K to reset the start of the matched string; for example, (foo)\Kbar
  matches bar preceded by foo, but only sets bar as the matched string.

  (?| introduces a group where the capturing parentheses in each alternative
  start from the same number; for example, (?|(abc)|(xyz)) sets capturing
  parentheses number 1 in both cases.

  \h, \H, \v, \V match horizontal and vertical whitespace, respectively.
