Upstream update. This is the biggest point of interest:
grep now diagnoses (and fails with exit status 2) commonly mistyped
regular expression like [:space:], [:digit:], etc. Before, those were
silently interpreted as [ac:eps] and [dgit:] respectively. Virtually
all who make that class of mistake should have used [[:space:]] or
[[:digit:]]. This new behavior is disabled when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
environment variable is set.
Signoff both,
Allan
