grep-3.3 released [stable]
Item posted by Jim Meyering <meyering> on Fri 21 Dec 2018 04:51:38 AM UTC.
Here's a snap release to fix a regression introduced in grep-3.2.
See the NEWS below for details:
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.3.tar.xz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.3.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-3.3.tar.xz
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-3.3.tar.xz.sig
[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify grep-3.3.tar.xz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69.197-b8fd7
Automake 1.16a
Gnulib v0.1-2302-g5d6a3cdd5
NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.3 (2018-12-20) [stable]
** Bug fixes
Some uses of \b in the C locale and with the DFA matcher would fail, e.g.,
the following would print nothing (it should print the input line):
echo 123-x|LC_ALL=C grep '.\bx'
Using a multibyte locale, using certain regexp constructs (some ranges,
backreferences), or forcing use of the PCRE matcher via --perl-regexp (-P)
would avoid the bug.
