</li>
<li>

<li>
Fixed broken makefiles.
</li>
<li>
Fixed configuration setup to allow building with VC7.1 - STLport-4.6.2
when using /Zc:wchar_t.
</li>
<li>
Moved declarations class-inline in static_mutex.hpp so that SGI Irix
compiler can cope.
</li>
<li>
Added needed standard library #includes to fileiter.hpp, regex_workaround.hpp
and cpp_regex_traits.hpp.
</li>
<li>
Fixed a bug where non-greedy repeats could in certain strange curcumstances
repeat more times than their maximum value.
</li>
<li>
Fixed the value returned by basic_regex&lt;&gt;::empty() from a default
constructed object.
</li>
<li>
Changed the deffinition of regex_error to make it backwards compatible
with Boost-1.32.0.
</li>
<li>
Disabled external templates for Intel C++ 8.0 and earlier - otherwise
unresolved references can occur.
</li>
<li>
Rewritten extern template code for gcc so that only specific member functions
are exported: otherwise strange unresolved references can occur when
linking and mixing debug and non-debug code.
</li>
<li>
Initialise all the data members of the unicode_iterators: this keeps
gcc from issuing needless warnings.
</li>
<li>
Ported the ICU integration code to VC6 and VC7.
</li>
<li>
Ensured code is STLport debug mode clean.
</li>
<li>
Fixed lookbehind assertions so that fixed length repeats are permitted,
and so that regex iteration allows lookbehind to look back before the
current search range (into the last match).
</li>
<li>
Fixed strange bug with non-greedy repeats inside forward lookahead assertions.
</li>
<li>
Enabled negated character classes inside character sets.
</li>
<li>
Fixed regression so that [a-z-] is a valid expression again.
</li>
<li>
Fixed bug that allowed some invalid expressions to be accepted.

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li>
Completely rewritten expression parsing code, and traits class support;
now conforms to the standardization proposal.
</li>
<li>
Breaking Change: The syntax options that can be passed to basic_regex
constructors have been rationalized. The default option (perl) now has
a value of zero, and it is now clearly documented which options apply
to which regular expression syntax styles (perl, POSIX-extended, POSIX-basic
etc). Some of the more esoteric options have now been removed, so there
is the possibility that existing code may fail to compile: however equivalent
functionality should still be available.
</li>
<li>
Breaking Change: POSIX-extended and POSIX-basic regular expressions now
enforce the letter of the POSIX standard much more closely than before.
</li>
<li>
Added support for (?imsx-imsx) constructs.
</li>
<li>
Added support for lookbehind expressions (?&lt;=positive-lookbehind)
and (?&lt;!negative-lookbehind).
</li>
<li>
Added support for conditional expressions (?(assertion)true-expresion|false-expression).
</li>
<li>
Added MFC/ATL string wrappers.
</li>
<li>
Added Unicode support; based on ICU.
</li>
<li>
Changed newline support to recognise \f as a line separator (all character
types), and \x85 as a line separator for wide characters / Unicode only.
</li>
<li>
Added a new format flag format_literal that treats the replace string
as a literal, rather than a Perl or Sed style format string.
</li>
<li>
Errors are now reported by throwing exceptions of type regex_error. The
types used previously - bad_expression and bad_pattern - are now just
typedefs for regex_error. Type regex_error has a couple of new members:
code() to report an error code rather than a string, and position() to
report where in the expression the error occured.

Completely rewritten pattern matching code - it is now up to 10 times
faster than before.

Reorganized documentation.

<li>
Deprecated all interfaces that are not part of the regular expression
standardization proposal.
</li>
<li>
Added regex_iterator and regex_token_iterator .
</li>
<li>
Added support for Perl style independent sub-expressions.
</li>
<li>
Added non-member operators to the sub_match class, so that you can compare
sub_match's with strings, or add them to a string to produce a new string.
</li>
<li>
Added experimental support for extended capture information.
</li>
<li>
Changed the match flags so that they are a distinct type (not an integer),
if you try to pass the match flags as an integer rather than match_flag_type
to the regex algorithms then you will now get a compiler error.
