This is to announce grep-2.10, a bug-fix release.
http://www.gnu.org/s/grep/
grep searches files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern
It's been nearly five months and 80 commits since 2.9, yet few big
changes in grep proper. However, there have been many changes in gnulib,
including a few portability fixes that affect grep.
See the NEWS below, or for a more complete summary of changes and
contributors, see:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=grep.git;a=shortlog;h=v2.10
or run this command from a git-cloned grep directory:
git shortlog v2.9..v2.10
As usual, we inherit many portability and robustness improvements
by using gnulib. To summarize its 750+ changes, run these commands
from a git-cloned grep directory:
git checkout v2.9
git submodule summary v2.10
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-2.10.tar.xz
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-2.10.tar.xz.sig
Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-2.10.tar.xz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/grep/grep-2.10.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-2.10.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 2.68.95-e0cb9
Automake 1.11a
Gnulib v0.0-6628-g4f6a7ef

NEWS
* Noteworthy changes in release 2.10 (2011-11-16) [stable]
** Bug fixes
grep no longer mishandles high-bit-set pattern bytes on systems
where "char" is a signed type. [bug appears to affect only MS-Windows]
grep now rejects a command like "grep -r pattern . > out",
in which the output file is also one of the inputs,
because it can result in an "infinite" disk-filling loop.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
** Build-related
"make dist" no longer builds .tar.gz files.
xz is portable enough and in wide-enough use that distributing
only .tar.xz files is enough.
