The following people contributed changes to this release: Jim Meyering (31) Norihiro Tanaka (5) Paul Eggert (34) Zev Weiss (1) Jim [on behalf of the grep maintainers] ================================================================== Here is the GNU grep home page: http://gnu.org/s/grep/ For a summary of changes and contributors, see: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grep.git;a=shortlog;h=v3.4 or run this command from a git-cloned grep directory: git shortlog v3.3..v3.4 To summarize the 819 gnulib-related changes, run these commands from a git-cloned grep directory: git checkout v3.4 git submodule summary v3.3 ================================================================== Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.4.tar.xz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.4.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-3.4.tar.xz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-3.4.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-3.4.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-dirty Automake 1.16a Gnulib v0.1-3121-gc3c36de58 ================================================================== NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2020-01-02) [stable] ** New features The new --no-ignore-case option causes grep to observe case distinctions, overriding any previous -i (--ignore-case) option. ** Bug fixes '.' no longer matches some invalid byte sequences in UTF-8 locales. [bug introduced in grep 2.7] grep -Fw can no longer false match in non-UTF-8 multibyte locales For example, this command would erroneously print its input line: echo ab | LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.eucjp grep -Fw b [Bug#38223 introduced in grep 2.28] The exit status of 'grep -L' is no longer incorrect when standard output is /dev/null. [Bug#37716 introduced in grep 3.2] A performance bug has been fixed when grep is given many patterns, each with no back-reference. [Bug#33249 introduced in grep 2.5] A performance bug has been fixed for patterns like '01.2' that cause grep to reorder tokens internally. [Bug#34951 introduced in grep 3.2] ** Build-related The build procedure no longer relies on any already-built src/grep that might be absent or broken. Instead, it uses the system 'grep' to bootstrap, and uses src/grep only to test the build. On Solaris /usr/bin/grep is broken, but you can install GNU or XPG4 'grep' from the standard Solaris distribution before building GNU Grep yourself.
