All -bugs reported in previous releases have been fixed. Many exciting new -bugs have probably been introduced in this revision. - -GNU grep is provided "as is" with no warranty. The exact terms -under which you may use and (re)distribute this program are detailed -in the GNU General Public License, in the file COPYING. - -GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about -twice as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper -search for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being -considered by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to -look at every character. The result is typically many times faster -than Unix grep or egrep. (Regular expressions containing backreferencing -will run more slowly, however.) - -See the files AUTHORS and THANKS for a list of authors and other contributors. - -See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions. - -See the file NEWS for a description of major changes in this release. - -See the file TODO for ideas on how you could help us improve grep. - -Send bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org. Be sure to -include the word "grep" in your Subject: header field. |
