+- 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
