I want to release grep-2.29 tomorrow, because 2.28
introduced a pretty bad bug, so any quick testing
you can do would be most welcome.
For details on that bug, see the report,
https://bugs.gnu.org/25655 and the fix:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=6e4c8728f0e75
NEWS:
---------------
grep without -F no longer goes awry when given two or more patterns
that contain no special characters other than '\' and also contain a
subpattern like '\.' that escapes a character to make it ordinary.
[bug introduced in grep 2.28]
grep no longer fails to build on PCRE versions before 8.20.
