I've released version 0.10 of the GNU regular expression code.
You can get it by anonymous ftp from
   prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38]:pub/gnu/regex-0.10.tar.Z

And soon from these archive sites around the world (please try them
before prep):

Japan: ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp, utsun.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp:ftpsync/prep
Australia: archie.au:gnu
Europe: ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de, src.doc.ic.ac.uk:gnu,
        ftp.funet.fi, nic.funet.fi:pub/gnu, ugle.unit.no, isy.liu.se,
        ftp.stacken.kth.se, sunic.sunet.se, ftp.win.tue.nl,
        ftp.diku.dk, ftp.eunet.ch, ftp.funet.fi, archive.eu.net
United States: wuarchive.wustl.edu ftp.cs.widener.edu,
   	       uxc.cso.uiuc.edu, col.hp.com, gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/GNU,
	       ftp.uu.net:packages/gnu

Important note:

I made one upward-incompatible change, which affects many of the
programs that use regex: the global variable `obscure_syntax' is now
named `re_syntax_options'.  (This was the only public identifier that
did not start with `re_' or `reg'.)  If you like, you can use the
function re_set_syntax instead of assigning directly to this variable.

Here is a summary of the other changes:

* `re_comp's return type is no longer `const', for compatibility with BSD.

* POSIX syntaxes now include as much functionality as possible
  (consistent with the standard).

* Compilation conditionals normalized to what the rest of GNU is
  migrating towards these days.

* Bug fixes involving:
    - Ranges with characters between 0x80 and 0xff, e.g., [\001-\377].
    - `re_compile_fastmap' and the sequence `.*\n'.
    - Intervals with exact counts, e.g., a{5}.

* Changed distribution to use a standard Makefile, install the info
  files, use a configure script, etc.
