Regarding the PCRE2 migration, I am worried about making a breaking change (if anything at all, it will have to be installed) with a minor release which is also the first after a long time and the first from the newly formed group. It would be perfect if that was a choice or an automatic detection upon running "configure"

But not upgrading to PCRE2 but staying with the old library, which was last updated 2021-06-22 (8.45) and is now officially "no longer being actively maintained" (see https://www.pcre.org/) means, that RHEL 10 and Debian 13 (trixie) are no longer supported, since these do no longer ship the old pcre library.
That's fair. I wasn't worried about Debian because they already patched it and didn't know the state of things on RHEL. We might as well consider that Debian has tested this pretty well already and make a fair assumption that PCRE2 is available on platforms that still want Xymon updates.
PS: Do you also see my mails on the ML "From: Roland Rosenfeld <roland@spinnaker.de>"? While I see most postings in the ML as "From: Some Name as xymon <xymon@xymon.com>", I see myself (and some others) with their real addresses (and get DMARC warnings, because the list breaks DKIM (by adding a signature) and SPF (since the list server isn't permitted for spinnaker.de)...
A quick search shows I'm not seeing any mails from you coming through the list properly, or it would show they're "From: Roland Rosenfeld via Xymon <xymon@xymon.com>". I think we need to remember to reply to all for now or some messages might get lost...
