Hi,
In testing for both arches. Please signoff.
Regular update. Upstream changelog: The main reason for having this release so soon after 7.5 is because it fixes a potential buffer overflow problem in pcre_compile() when run in UTF-8 mode. In addition, the CMake configuration files have been brought up to date.
It seems there is a hidden (no .so bump) ABI breakage: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9437#comment24335
OK, bug fixed. I reverted the patch that causes 9437, it was a bugfix for windows anyways. I reported the problem upstream, and we'll see what it gets us. Either our 7.6 package will be incompatible with future pcre releases, or they will revert the patch in the next version also. For people who recompiled software to work with pcre 7.6-1: they should "downgrade" to the official versions, as pcre 7.6-2 is ABI compatible with older versions. signoff for x86_64 for 7.6-2.
