* Noteworthy changes in release 3.12 (2025-04-10) [stable]

** Bug fixes

  Searching a directory with at least 100,000 entries no longer fails
  with ""Operation not supported"" and exit status 2. Now, this prints 1
  and no diagnostic, as expected:
{{{
    $ mkdir t && cd t && seq 100000|xargs touch && grep -r x .; echo $?
    1
}}}
  [bug introduced in grep 3.11]

  - -mN where 1 < N no longer mistakenly lseeks to end of input merely
  because standard output is /dev/null.

** Changes in behavior

  The --unix-byte-offsets (-u) option is gone. In grep-3.7 (2021-08-14)
  it became a warning-only no-op. Before then, it was a Windows-only no-op.

  On Windows platforms and on AIX in 32-bit mode, grep in some cases
  now supports Unicode characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane."	enhancement	closed	normal	12.4	Book	git	normal	fixed
