Grep-2.9
New version, with some bugfixes as noted in NEWS from the tarball:
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.9 (2011-06-21) [stable]
** Bug fixes
grep no longer clobbers heap for an ERE like '(^| )*( |$)'
[bug introduced in grep-2.6]
grep is faster on regular expressions that match multibyte characters
in brackets (such as '[áéÃóú]').
echo c|grep '[c]' would fail for any c in 0x80..0xff, with a uni-byte
encoding for which the byte-to-wide-char mapping is nontrivial. For
example, the ISO-88591 locales are not affected, but ru_RU.KOI8-R is.
[bug introduced in grep-2.6]
grep -P no longer aborts when PCRE's backtracking limit is exceeded
Before, echo aaaaaaaaaaaaaab |grep -P '((a+)*)+$' would abort. Now,
it diagnoses the problem and exits with status 2.
