+- 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.
