Hi, 1. Just noticed that 5.5.25 has pcrelib 8.36 while 5.6.9 has 8.37. That's probably because of a slight difference between the branch points.
I'll update the news / changelog 2. It seems that changes to 8.37 doesn't include all files (e.g. ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre.h which still states 8.36). (compare revision 23917b45 with 95fa7279 ) Kaplan
