All +bugs reported in previous releases have been fixed. Many exciting new +bugs have probably been introduced in this revision. + +GNU grep is provided "as is" with no warranty. The exact terms +under which you may use and (re)distribute this program are detailed +in the GNU General Public License, in the file COPYING. + +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. (Regular expressions containing backreferencing +will run more slowly, however.) + +See the files AUTHORS and THANKS for a list of authors and other contributors. + +See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions. +If there is no INSTALL file, this copy of the source code is intended +for expert hackers; please see the file README-hacking. + +See the file NEWS for a description of major changes in this release. + +See the file TODO for ideas on how you could help us improve grep. + +See the file README-alpha for information on grep development and the CVS + repository. + +Send bug reports to bug-grep@gnu.org. + +KNOWN BUGS: + +Several tests in fmbtest.sh and foad1.sh fail under the cs_CZ.UTF-8 locale +and have been disabled. + +The combination of -o and -i options is broken and the known failing cases +are disabled in foad1.sh + +The option -i does not work properly in some multibyte locales such as +tr_TR.UTF-8 where the upper case and lower case forms of a character are not +necessarily of the same byte length. + +A list of outstanding and resolved bugs can be found at: + + http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=grep + +You can also browse the bug-grep mailing list archive at: + + http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/ + +For any copyright year range specified as YYYY-ZZZZ in this package +note that the range specifies every single year in that closed interval. -- cgit v1.2.1
