Name        : pcre
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 8.21
Release     : 3.fc17
URL         : http://www.pcre.org/
Summary     : Perl-compatible regular expression library
Description :
Perl-compatible regular expression library.
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are based on
the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that this
just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular expressions
themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file
for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.

Update Information:

Backward assertion did not applied when JIT copiler was used on UTF-8 string. E.g. "(?i)(?<!b|th|z|m|p|^)eta(?!\w)" matched "ETA" erroneously.
