is it safe to use the new version and change new_pcre to yes? any services that need to be recompiled (exim?)?

 

[ditto]

I have used new_pcre yes since the beginning (a really long time ago), it should be absolutely safe. I upgraded to pcre 8.36 today on all my shared hosting servers, and have not seen any problems.

Only thing I know of that you need to recompile is PHP, just look at a php info page after you upgrade pcre, and it will display the old pcre version until you recompile PHP.

It should not be needed to recompile any other services, only PHP.
