Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-02-12 14:28:30 UTC Fixed In Version grep-2.20-1.el7
Doc Text Important: if this rebase instead contains *only bug fixes,* or *only enhancements*, select the correct option from the Doc Type drop-down list.

Rebase package(s) to version:
grep-2.20

Highlights, important fixes, or notable enhancements:
Fixed several problems that can lead to crash.

Speed-up for various operations, some operations can now be magnitude faster.

Recursive grep now uses fts for directory traversal, so it can handle much-larger directories without reporting things like "File name too long", and it can run much faster when dealing with large directory hierarchies.

grep -P can now use a just-in-time compiler to greatly speed up matches.

Cause:
Previously the behavior of \w and \W symbols in regular expressions were inconsistent with the behavior of [:alnum:] character class.

Consequence:
Some expressions could cause incorrect match/non-match.

Fix:
Upstream fix was backported that makes the behavior consistent.

Result:
Now \w is synonym for [_[:alnum:]] and \W for [^_[:alnum:]].
