can you clear that what parts you updated exactly? I compared the PHP
manual PCRE Pattern section
(http://hu.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php) and
the PCRE manual (http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt) and I've found the
following sections are missing or differs much:

- locale support
- unicode support
- supported POSIX character class list
- named capturing subpattern (?P<url> ...)
- recursive subpattern (almost beat Perl ;)
- possesive quantifiers (?+, *+, ++)

Wow, that sounds great! Is there any publicly available docs about the
new features?

Thanks, I've already CVS account to phpdoc, but if you want to take a
look at it before committing I'll send you the new .xml files instead.
