Summary

To summarize, the following changes have been made over the last couple
of months:

  • (Feature) With bsdgrep -r, the working directory is implied if no directory is specified
  • (Feature) bsdgrep will now behave as bsdgrep -r does when it's named rgrep
  • (Feature) bsdgrep now understands -z/--null-data to use \0 as EOL
  • (Feature) GNU regex compatibility is now indicated with a "GNU compatible" in the version string
  • (Fix) --mmap no longer hangs when coming across an EOF without an accompanying EOL
  • (Fix) -o/--color matching generally improved, now produces earliest/longest matches
  • (Fix) Context output now more closely aligns with GNU grep
  • (Fix) Zero-length matches no longer exhibit broken behavior
  • (Fix) Every output line now honors -b/-H/-n flags
  • Tests have been added for previous regressions as well as other untested behaviors
  • Refactoring for further/later improvements
  • Various other fixes
