+- GNU 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.
+    E.g., given f(){ echo Perú|LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -Po "$1"; }
+    and this command, echo $(f 'r\w'):$(f '.\b'), before it would
+    print ":r". After the fix, it prints the correct results: "rú:ú".
+  * When given multiple patterns the last of which has a back-
+    reference, grep no longer sometimes mistakenly matches lines in
+    some cases.
+- The long obsolete egrep and fgrep commands again issue a friendly
+  message asking for users to convert to grep -E and grep -F. All
+  openSUSE package builds are fixed - drop efgrep-warning.patch
