425 constructors have been rationalized. The default option (perl) now has
426 a value of zero, and it is now clearly documented which options apply
427 to which regular expression syntax styles (perl, POSIX-extended, POSIX-basic
428 etc). Some of the more esoteric options have now been removed, so there
429 is the possibility that existing code may fail to compile: however equivalent
430 functionality should still be available.
432 <li class="listitem">
433 Breaking Change: POSIX-extended and POSIX-basic regular expressions now
434 enforce the letter of the POSIX standard much more closely than before.
436 <li class="listitem">
437 Added support for (?imsx-imsx) constructs.
439 <li class="listitem">
440 Added support for lookbehind expressions (?<=positive-lookbehind)
441 and (?<!negative-lookbehind).
443 <li class="listitem">
444 Added support for conditional expressions (?(assertion)true-expression|false-expression).
446 <li class="listitem">
447 Added MFC/ATL string wrappers.
449 <li class="listitem">
450 Added Unicode support; based on ICU.
452 <li class="listitem">
453 Changed newline support to recognise \f as a line separator (all character
454 types), and \x85 as a line separator for wide characters / Unicode only.
456 <li class="listitem">
457 Added a new format flag format_literal that treats the replace string
458 as a literal, rather than a Perl or Sed style format string.
460 <li class="listitem">
461 Errors are now reported by throwing exceptions of type regex_error. The
462 types used previously - bad_expression and bad_pattern - are now just
463 typedefs for regex_error. Type regex_error has a couple of new members:
464 code() to report an error code rather than a string, and position() to
465 report where in the expression the error occurred.

486 <li class="listitem">
487 Reorganized documentation.
489 <li class="listitem">
490 Deprecated all interfaces that are not part of the regular expression
491 standardization proposal.
493 <li class="listitem">
494 Added regex_iterator and regex_token_iterator .
496 <li class="listitem">
497 Added support for Perl style independent sub-expressions.
499 <li class="listitem">
500 Added non-member operators to the sub_match class, so that you can compare
501 sub_match's with strings, or add them to a string to produce a new string.
503 <li class="listitem">
504 Added experimental support for extended capture information.
506 <li class="listitem">
507 Changed the match flags so that they are a distinct type (not an integer),
508 if you try to pass the match flags as an integer rather than match_flag_type
509 to the regex algorithms then you will now get a compiler error.
