--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2003-003 2003-12-10 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : grep Version : 2.5.1 Release : 17.4 Summary : The GNU versions of grep pattern matching utilities. Description : The GNU versions of commonly used grep utilities. Grep searches through textual input for lines which contain a match to a specified pattern and then prints the matching lines. GNU's grep utilities include grep, egrep and fgrep. You should install grep on your system, because it is a very useful utility for searching through text. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: When processing UTF-8 encoded input, the grep utility (for searching through textual input to find lines matching a regular expression) is extremely inefficient (bug #69900). A method for speeding up UTF-8 processing in grep has been incorporated in this updated package. Three more problems have been fixed since this update was first issued, two of which were regressions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Dec 10 2003 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.5.1-17.4 - Another multibyte efficiency bug-fix (bug #111800). * Mon Dec 08 2003 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.5.1-17.3 - Fixed -o -i properly (bug #111489). * Sat Dec 06 2003 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> - Another bug-fix for UTF-8 speed-up patch (bug #111614). * Fri Nov 21 2003 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.5.1-17.2 - Another two multibyte efficiency bug-fixes (bug #110524). * Tue Nov 11 2003 Tim Waugh <twaugh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.5.1-17.1 - Fixed man page bug (bug #106267). - Turn on multibyte efficiency patch again. - Fixed a multibyte efficiency bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 22fb8c2c4615c60a1414be004446f9da SRPMS/grep-2.5.1-17.4.src.rpm fc821becff5f78117060509aff2e86c4 i386/grep-2.5.1-17.4.i386.rpm e95840f7ff87afa0b7e89a87e5e00a36 i386/debug/grep-debuginfo-2.5.1-17.4.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
