pcre2-10.40

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

Version 10.40 15-April-2022

This is mostly a bug-fixing and code-tidying release. However, there are some extensions to Unicode property handling:

• Added support for Bidi_Class and a number of binary Unicode properties, including Bidi_Control.

• A number of changes to script matching for \p and \P:

• Script extensions for a character are now coded as a bitmap instead of a list of script numbers, which should be faster and does not need a loop.

• Added the syntax \p{script:xxx} and \p{script_extensions:xxx} (synonyms sc and scx).

• Changed \p{scriptname} from being the same as \p{sc:scriptname} to being the same as \p{scx:scriptname} because this change happened in Perl at release 5.26.

• The standard Unicode 4-letter abbreviations for script names are now recognized.

• In accordance with Unicode and Perl's "loose matching" rules, spaces, hyphens, and underscores are ignored in property names, which are then matched independent of case.
