Delphi comes with very old PCRE (8.45) and it'll wont get any updates according to pcre.org. 

Latest 10.4.2 : https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/releases

PCRE2 (10.x) was a fork of PCRE (1.x - 8.x) with a revised API so not a case of just updating the library itself. 

 

Delphi does need to migrate to the newer PCRE2 10.x from the now no longer in active development PCRE 8.x at some point. In the meantime, there are other regex libraries for Delphi that already support PCRE2.

With Library I mean PCRE and the it's Delphi wrapper.
