I have put a release candidate for PCRE2 10.20 here:

ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Testing/pcre2-10.20-RC1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Testing/pcre2-10.20-RC1.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/Testing/pcre2-10.20-RC1.zip

The number has gone up to 10.20 because there are some new features, in
particular, there is support for callouts with string arguments
(previously only numerical arguments were available). Bugs and
infelicities (many discovered by fuzzers) have been mended. There are
also some JIT improvements.

As always, see ChangeLog for a list of all the changes.

Mending some of the bugs properly has involved some refactoring of the
way pcre2_compile() works; I hope this will reduce the possibilities for
similar problems in future.

Please test this release if you can.

Philip
