RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

`pcre' package has been rebased to 7.8 version. It brings following behavior changes:

* UTF-8 checking is now as per RFC 3629 instead of RFC 2279; this is more
  restrictive in the strings it accepts.
  E.g., UTF-8 character ordinal value is limited to 0x0010FFFF value now:

  $ echo -ne "\x00\x11\xff\xff" | recode UCS-4-BE..UTF8 | pcregrep --utf-8 '.'
  pcregrep: pcre_exec() error -10 while matching this line:

  See <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-12> for more details.

* Saved patterns that were compiled by earlier versions of PCRE must be
  recompiled.

  This affects applications that serialize precompiled PCRE expressions to
  external memory (e.g. a file) and load them later (for performance reasons
  usually, like large spam filters).

Have added this to the guide, changes will appear on the next publish.

Thanks for the specific details, Petr! It's appreciated.
