[Devil-linux-software] grep 2.6.3 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 2.6.3 of grep on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

Massive improvements were made to the handling of multi-byte character sets,
fixing many failures and increasing speed. The "-P" option now works more
correctly. Whole-word matches with back-references were fixed. Several other
bugs were fixed.

Project description:

GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about twice as
fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper search for a
fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being considered by the full
regexp matcher without necessarily having to look at every character. The result
is typically many times faster than Unix grep or egrep.
