grep-3.10 released

 This is to announce grep-3.10, a stable release,

fixing a bug with -P and \d. TL;DR, grep-3.9 would do this:

  $ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep -P '\d' <<< ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩

  ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩

It should print nothing, like it has always done.

For more detail, see https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-grep/2023-03/msg00005.html

Thanks to Paul Eggert for catching the \D variant and to Bruno Haible

for assiduously tending gnulib and for testing grep on so many

different systems.

There have been 12 commits by 2 people in the 17 days since 3.9.

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.10 (2023-03-22) [stable]

  With -P, \d now matches only ASCII digits, regardless of PCRE

  options/modes. The changes in grep-3.9 to make \b and \w work

  properly had the undesirable side effect of making \d also match

  e.g., the Arabic digits: ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩.  With grep-3.9, -P '\d+'

  would match that ten-digit (20-byte) string. Now, to match such

  a digit, you would use \p{Nd}. Similarly, \D is now mapped to [^0-9].
