We're pleased to announce the next generation of the HPCC Systems® Platform. This exciting new release, version 9.8.0, takes everything you loved about the platform and elevates it to a new level.
Highlights:
New Regex Libraries
Beginning with version 9.8, the HPCC Systems platform uses a new third-party library to support regular expression operations in the platform. PCRE2 will replace both Boost::regex and ICU in regular expression pattern parsing, compilation, and substring replacement.
This change brings more consistency to how regex works within ECL, better support for UTF-8 data and overall better performance. For more details, see: Changes to Regex Support in HPCC Systems 9.8.0
