+- Update to version 8.12
+
+ * This release fixes some bugs in pcregrep, one of which caused the tests to fail
+   on 64-bit big-endian systems. There are no changes to the code of the library.
+
+- Update to version 8.11
+ * A number of bugs in the library and in pcregrep have been fixed. As always, see
+  ChangeLog for details. The following are the non-bug-fix changes:
+
+  Added --match-limit and --recursion-limit to pcregrep.
+
+  Added an optional parentheses number to the -o and --only-matching options
+  of pcregrep.
+
+  Changed the way PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD affects the matching of $, \z, \Z, \b, and
+  \B.
+
+  Added PCRE_ERROR_SHORTUTF8 to make it possible to distinguish between a
+  bad UTF-8 sequence and one that is incomplete when using PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD.
+
+  Recognize (*NO_START_OPT) at the start of a pattern to set the PCRE_NO_
+   START_OPTIMIZE option, which is now allowed at compile time
