Name        : pcre
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 8.35
Release     : 7.fc21
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:

This release fixes missing initialization of ovector offsets for capturing groups before a forced match. A garbage values were left there from what an aplication passed into pcre_exec() function.
