 Before the move to GitHub, this was the only record of changes to PCRE2. Now
 there is also the log of commit messages.
 
+Version 10.45 xx-xxx-2024
+-------------------------
+
+1. Change 6 of 10.44 broke 32-bit compiles because pcre2test's reporting of 
+memory size was changed to the entire compiled data block, instead of just the 
+pattern and tables data, so as to align with the new length restriction. 
+Because the block's header contains pointers, this meant the pcre2test output
+was different in 32-bit mode. A patch by Carlo reverts to the preevious state
+and makes sure that any limit set by pcre2_set_max_pattern_compiled_length()
+also avoids the internal struct overhead.
