Fedora: FEDORA-2004-463 Critical: Grep Performance Improvement

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.

This update improves performance when processing UTF-8 input.

- Fixed a busy loop in the egf-speedup patch (bug #140781).

* Wed Nov 24 2004 Tim Waugh 2.5.1-31.1

- Fixed a bug in the fgrep patch, exposed by the dfa-optional patch

(bug #138558).

- Applied patch from Karsten Hopp to fix background colour problems with

--color output (bug #138913).

- Automatically disable DFA when processing multibyte input. GREP_USE_DFA

environment variable overrides.

- Remove mb-caching hack.

- Better multibyte handling in EGexecute() and Fexecute().

- Don't need regex.c changes in grep-2.5-i18n.patch.
