Everything ok on Linux, but providing **clean** Windows release is more complicated partially because of this dependency.\r\n\r\nIs removing regex to avoid pcre dependency and adding manual string parsing something acceptable for you?\r\nLet me know, if positive I or another liblogicalaccess maintainer will handle it later. Thanks!"}}
