Fixing this has caused grep to revert to the behavior of grep 3.8, in that patterns like \w and ^H go back to using ASCII rather than Unicode interpretations. However, future versions of GNU grep and/or PCRE2 are likely to fix this and change the behavior of \w and ^H back to Unicode again, without breaking [\d] as 3.10 did. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Mar 30 07:41:18 UTC 2023 - Dirk Müller - update to 3.10: * With -P, \d now matches only ASCII digits, regardless of PCRE options/modes. The changes in grep-3.9 to make ^H and \w work properly had the undesirable side effect of making \d also match e.g., the Arabic digits: ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩. With grep-3.9, -P '\d+' would match that ten-digit (20-byte) string. Now, to match such a digit, you would use \p{Nd}. Similarly, \D is now mapped to [^0-9]. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 6 09:28:35 UTC 2023 - Andreas Schwab - Update to grep 3.9 * With -P, some non-ASCII UTF8 characters were not recognized as word-constituent due to our omission of the PCRE2_UCP flag. * When given multiple patterns the last of which has a back-reference, grep no longer sometimes mistakenly matches lines in some cases ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Dec 27 12:25:45 UTC 2022 -

( Fixes yast2-users and other build failures - boo#966780 ) * grep -oz now uses null bytes, not newlines, to terminate output lines. * grep now outputs details more consistently when reporting a write error. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Mar 11 09:30:02 UTC 2016 - mpluskal@suse.com - Update to 2.24 * grep -z would match strings it should not. To trigger the bug, you'd have to use a regular expression including an anchor (^ or $) and a feature like a range or a backreference, causing grep to forego its DFA matcher and resort to using re_search. With a multibyte locale, that matcher could mistakenly match a string containing a newline. For example, this command: printf 'a\nb\0' | LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 grep -z '^[a-b]*b' would mistakenly match and print all four input bytes. After the fix, there is no match, as expected. [bug introduced in grep-2.7] * grep -Pz now diagnoses attempts to use patterns containing ^ and $, instead of mishandling these patterns. This problem seems to be inherent to the PCRE API; removing this limitation is on PCRE's maint/README wish list. Patterns can continue to match literal ^ and $ by escaping them with \ (now needed even inside [...]). [bug introduced in grep-2.5] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Feb 5 08:01:46 UTC 2016 - mpluskal@suse.com - Update to 2.23 * Binary files are now less likely to generate diagnostics and more likely to yield text matches. grep now reports "Binary file FOO matches" and suppresses further output instead of outputting a line containing an encoding error; hence grep can now report matching text before a later binary match. Formerly, grep reported FOO to be binary when it found an encoding error in FOO before generating output for FOO, which meant it never reported both matching text and matching binary data; this was less useful for searching text containing encoding errors in non-matching lines. [bug introduced in grep-2.21] * grep -c no longer stops counting when finding binary data. [bug introduced in grep-2.21] * grep no longer outputs encoding errors in unibyte locales. For example, if the byte '\x81' is not a valid character in a unibyte locale, grep treats the byte as binary data. [bug introduced in grep-2.21] * grep -oP is no longer susceptible to an infinite loop when processing invalid UTF8 just before a match. [bug introduced in grep-2.22] * --exclude and related options are now matched against trailing parts of command-line arguments, not against the entire arguments. This partly reverts the --exclude-related change in 2.22. [bug introduced in grep-2.22] * --line-buffer is no longer ineffective when combined with -l. [bug introduced in grep-2.5] * -xw is now equivalent to -x more consistently, with -P and with backrefs.

Instead, it considers the data to be non-matching. - Bug fixes: * fix issues in multibyte locales * grep -F -x -o no longer prints an extra newline for each match. * grep in a non-UTF8 multibyte locale could mistakenly match in the middle of a multibyte character when using a '^'-anchored alternate in a pattern, leading it to print non-matching lines. * grep -F Y no longer fails to match in non-UTF8 multibyte locales * grep -E rejected unmatched ')', instead of treating it like '\)'. - Changes in behavior: * The GREP_OPTIONS environment variable is now obsolescent * In locales with multibyte character encodings other than UTF-8, grep -P now reports an error and exits instead of misbehaving. * When searching binary data, grep now may treat non-text bytes as line terminators. This can boost performance significantly. * grep -z no longer automatically treats the byte '\200' as binary data. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Jun 7 20:35:48 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - GNU grep 2.20 - Bug fixes: * grep --max-count=N FILE would no longer stop reading after the Nth match. I.e., while grep would still print the correct output, it would continue reading until end of input, and hence, potentially forever. [introduced in 2.19] * A command like echo aa|grep -E 'a(b$|c$)' would mistakenly report the input as a matched line. [introduced in 2.19] - Changes in behavior: * grep --exclude-dir='FOO/' now excludes the directory FOO. Previously, the trailing slash meant the option was ineffective. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat May 24 16:50:50 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - GNU grep 2.19 - Improvements: * Performance has improved, typically by 10% and in some cases by a factor of 200. However, performance of grep -P in UTF-8 locales has gotten worse as part of the fix for the crashes mentioned below. - Bug fixes: * grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters. * grep no longer mishandles an empty pattern at the end of a pattern list. * grep -C NUM now outputs separators consistently even when NUM is zero, and similarly for grep -A NUM and grep -B NUM. * grep -f no longer mishandles patterns containing NUL bytes. * Plain grep, grep -E, and grep -F now treat encoding errors in patterns the same way the GNU regular expression matcher treats them, with respect to whether the errors can match parts of multibyte characters in data. * grep -w no longer mishandles a potential match adjacent to a letter that takes up two or more bytes in a multibyte encoding. Similarly, the patterns '\<', '\>', '\b', and '\B' no longer mishandle word-boundary matches in multibyte locales. * grep -P now reports an error and exits when given invalid UTF-8 data. Previously it was unreliable, and sometimes crashed or looped. * grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before, echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match. * grep -Pw now works like grep -w in that the matched string has to be preceded and followed by non-word components or the beginning and end of the line (as opposed to word boundaries before). Before, this echo a@@a| grep -Pw @@ would match, yet this echo a@@a| grep -w @@ would not. Now, they both fail to match, per the documentation on how grep's -w works. * grep -i no longer mishandles patterns containing titlecase characters. For example, in a locale containing the titlecase character 'Lj' (U+01C8 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J), 'grep -i Lj' now matches both 'LJ' (U+01C7 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ) and 'lj' (U+01C9 LATIN SMALL LETTER LJ). - remove mb-non-UTF8-performance.patch, committed upstream ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 25 15:10:02 UTC 2014 - schwab@suse.de - mb-non-UTF8-performance.patch: make performance-measuring less system-sensitive ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Feb 22 19:19:46 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de - GNU grep 2.18 * no longer mishandles patterns like [^^-~] in unibyte locales * -i in a multibyte, non-UTF8 locale could be up to 200 times slower than in 2.16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Feb 19 10:32:43 UTC 2014 - mvyskocil@suse.com - update to 2.17 * grep -i in a multibyte locale is now typically 10 times faster for patterns that do not contain \ or [ * grep (without -i) in a multibyte locale is now up to 7 times faster when processing many matched lines * grep's --mmap option was disabled in March of 2010, and began to elicit a warning in January of 2012.

E.g., seq 2 | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 grep -il '^$' would mistakenly print "(standard input)". Related, seq 9 | LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 grep -in '^$' would print "2:4:6:8:10:12:14:16" and exit 0. Now it prints nothing and exits with status of 1. [bug introduced in grep-2.6] * 'grep' no longer falsely reports text files as being binary on file systems that compress contents or that store tiny contents in metadata. - Add current German message catalog from the translation project. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jul 5 11:27:21 CEST 2012 - jsmeix@suse.de - Update to 2.13: It's moderately important to upgrade from grep-2.6 or newer, since a Turkish I-with-dot (U+0130) on a matched/printed line makes "grep -i" (in nearly any UTF-8 locale) emit corrupt output. Bug fixes: * grep -i, in a multi-byte locale, when matching a line containing a character like the UTF-8 Turkish I-with-dot (U+0130) (whose lower-case representation occupies fewer bytes), would print an incomplete output line. Similarly, with a matched line containing a character (e.g., the Latin capital I in a Turkish UTF-8 locale), where the lower-case representation occupies more bytes, grep could print garbage. [bug introduced in grep-2.6] * --include and --exclude can again be combined, and again apply to the command line, e.g., "grep --include='*.[ch]' --exclude='system.h' PATTERN *" again reads all *.c and *.h files except for system.h. [bug introduced in grep-2.6] New features: * 'grep' without -z now treats a sparse file as binary, if it can easily determine that the file is sparse. Dropped features: * Bootstrapping with Makefile.boot has been broken since grep 2.6, and was removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon May 21 18:19:15 UTC 2012 - tabraham@novell.com - Update to 2.12: * "echp P|grep --devices=skip P" once again prints P, as it did in 2.10 [bug introduced in grep-2.11] * grep no longer segfaults with -r --exclude-dir and no file operand. I.e., ":|grep -r --exclude-dir=D PAT" would segfault. [bug introduced in grep-2.11] * Recursive grep now uses fts for directory traversal, so it can handle much-larger directories without reporting things like "Filename too long", and it can run much faster when dealing with large directory hierarchies. [bug present since the beginning] * grep -E 'a{1000000000}' now reports an overflow error rather than silently acting like grep -E 'a\{1000000000}'. * The -R option now has a long-option alias --dereference-recursive. * The -r (--recursive) option now follows only command-line symlinks. Also, by default -r now reads a device only if it is named on the command line; this can be overridden with --devices. -R acts as before, so use -R if you prefer the old behavior of following all symlinks and defaulting to reading all devices. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Apr 19 17:43:06 CEST 2012 - meissner@suse.de - use -mlong-double-64 on ppc* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 13 18:18:23 UTC 2012 - tabraham@novell.com - Update to 2.11: * grep no longer dumps core on lines whose lengths do not fit in 'int'. (e.g., lines longer than 2 GiB on a typical 64-bit host). Instead, grep either works as expected, or reports an error. An error can occur if not enough main memory is available, or if the GNU C library's regular expression functions cannot handle such long lines. [bug present since "the beginning"] * The -m, -A, -B, and -C options no longer mishandle context line counts that do not fit in 'int'. Also, grep -c's counts are now limited by the type 'intmax_t' (typically less than 2**63) rather than 'int' (typically less than 2**31). * grep no longer silently suppresses errors when reading a directory as if it were a text file. For example, "grep x ." now reports a read error on most systems; formerly, it ignored the error. [bug introduced in grep-2.5] * grep now exits with status 2 if a directory loop is found, instead of possibly exiting with status 0 or 1. [bug introduced in grep-2.3] * The -s option now suppresses certain input error diagnostics that it formerly failed to suppress. These include errors when closing the input, when lseeking the input, and when the input is also the output. [bug introduced in grep-2.4] * On POSIX systems, commands like "grep PAT < FILE >> FILE" now report an error instead of looping. [bug present since "the beginning"] * The --include, --exclude, and --exclude-dir options now handle command-line arguments more consistently. --include and --exclude apply only to non-directories and --exclude-dir applies only to directories. "-" (standard input) is never excluded, since it is not a file name. [bug introduced in grep-2.5] * grep no longer rejects "grep -qr . > out", i.e., when run with -q and an input file is the same as the output file, since with -q grep generates no output, so there is no risk of infinite loop or of an output-affecting race condition. Thus, the use of the following options also disables the input-equals-output failure: --max-count=N (-m) (for N >= 2) --files-with-matches (-l) --files-without-match (-L) [bug introduced in grep-2.10] * grep no longer emits an error message and quits on MS-Windows when invoked with the -r option. * grep no longer misinterprets some alternations involving anchors (^, $, \< \> \B, \b). For example, grep -E "(^|\B)a" no longer reports a match for the string "x a". [bug present since "the beginning"] * If no file operand is given, and a command-line -r or equivalent option is given, grep now searches the working directory. Formerly grep ignored the -r and searched standard input nonrecursively. An -r found in GREP_OPTIONS does not have this new effect. * grep now supports color highlighting of matches on MS-Windows. * Use of the --mmap option now elicits a warning. It has been a no-op since March of 2010. * grep no longer diagnoses write errors repeatedly; it exits after diagnosing the first write error. This is better behavior when writing to a dangling pipe. * Syntax errors in GREP_COLORS are now ignored, instead of sometimes eliciting warnings. This is more consistent with programs that (e.g.) ignore errors in termcap entries. - changes from 2.10: * grep no longer mishandles high-bit-set pattern bytes on systems where "char" is a signed type. [bug appears to affect only MS-Windows] * On POSIX systems, 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"] - removed fix-testsuite.diff obsoleted by this release ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Feb 4 15:53:38 UTC 2012 - rschweikert@suse.com - keep executables in /usr tree (UsrMerge project) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 2 10:13:19 UTC 2011 - cfarrell@suse.com - license update: GPL-3.0+ There are no GPL-3.0 files in the package. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Dec 1 15:48:03 UTC 2011 - coolo@suse.com - add automake as buildrequire to avoid implicit dependency ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Oct 29 14:09:48 UTC 2011 - meissner@suse.com - disable the long double checks on ppc* as they dont meet the preconditions in their double vs long double usage. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Sep 27 12:42:54 CEST 2011 - dmueller@suse.de - fix testsuite to build properly against locally built grep ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Aug 10 03:17:41 UTC 2011 - crrodriguez@opensuse.org - Upgrade to version 2.9 * grep no longer clobbers heap for an ERE like '(^| )*( |$)'' )' * grep -P no longer aborts when PCRE's backtracking limit is exceeded * grep's interpretation of range expression is now more consistent ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 24 14:47:33 CEST 2010 - jsmeix@suse.de - Replaced configure typo '--without-included-rege' in grep.spec (only in case of suse_version < 1120) with '--without-included-regex' (which is the default on systems with recent-enough version of the GNU C Library). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Sep 23 12:47:04 CEST 2010 - jsmeix@suse.de - Version upgrade to grep-2.7 with new behavior: grep now diagnoses (and fails with exit status 2) commonly mistyped regular expression like [:space:], [:digit:], etc. Before, those were silently interpreted as [ac:eps] and [dgit:] respectively. This new behavior is disabled when the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set. Regular expressions including back references are now significantly faster in multi-byte locales. Regular expressions including "." can now be significantly faster in UTF-8 locales (though not in other multi-byte locales). Several other minor bugs were fixed. For details see the NEWS file. - Adapted RPM description text to match the "Introduction to grep" at http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/ and removed the outdated Authors section, see the AUTHORS file for the right authors. - Enhanced RPM spec file so that it builds and can be provided even for older openSUSE and SLES versions. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jul 22 15:45:31 CEST 2010 - jsmeix@suse.de - Forwarded the below "upgrade to grep-2.6.3" to openSUSE:Factory. This is also a reset to full compliance with upstream. All our own patches and "speedups" were dropped in the below "upgrade to grep-2.6.3" because they had bad side effects like bnc#618455 (SLES11-SP1) and bug#616037 (SLES9-SP4) which do not happen with an upstream compliant grep (regardless of an old version 2.5.1 or the new 2.6.3). - On Fri Apr 9 16:43:45 CEST 2010 duwe@suse.de did a version upgrade to grep-2.6.3, which brings among various compile fixes vast improvements for UTF-8 / multibyte handling. Fixes bnc#255977 (SLES10-SP2) and bnc#415228 (SLES9-SP3). ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jun 28 06:38:35 UTC 2010 - jengelh@medozas.de - use %_smp_mflags ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 11 21:46:26 CEST 2009 - coolo@novell.com - rediff to avoid fuzz - fix build with glibc 2.10 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Jun 4 17:41:19 CEST 2009 - crrodriguez@suse.de - link pcre library dynamically ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Feb 11 14:09:00 CET 2009 - schwab@suse.de - Update to grep 2.5.4. * This is a bugfix release.
