 NEWS

 * Noteworthy changes in release 3.12 (2025-04-10) [stable]

 ** Bug fixes

   Searching a directory with at least 100,000 entries no longer fails
   with "Operation not supported" and exit status 2. Now, this prints 1
   and no diagnostic, as expected:
 {{{
     $ mkdir t && cd t && seq 100000|xargs touch && grep -r x .; echo $?
     1
 }}}
   [bug introduced in grep 3.11]

   - -mN where 1 < N no longer mistakenly lseeks to end of input merely
   because standard output is /dev/null.

 ** Changes in behavior

   The --unix-byte-offsets (-u) option is gone. In grep-3.7 (2021-08-14)
   it became a warning-only no-op. Before then, it was a Windows-only no-
 op.

   On Windows platforms and on AIX in 32-bit mode, grep in some cases
   now supports Unicode characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane.
