---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : grep
Version     : 2.5.1                      
Release     : 31.1                  
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:

Please test this updated grep package and report any findings, positive
or negative, as a comment on this bug report:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140781

The aim is to improve performance when processing UTF-8 input,
without causing any regressions (either in correctness or performance)
with any character encoding.

* Wed Nov 24 2004 Tim Waugh <twaugh at redhat.com> 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.

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