---------------------------------+--------------------------------
 GNU grep has been updated to version 2.23. This is a bug fix release:

 * Binary files are now less likely to generate diagnostics and more
   likely to yield text matches.  grep now reports "Binary file FOO
   matches" and suppresses further output instead of outputting a line
   containing an encoding error; hence grep can now report matching text
   before a later binary match.  Formerly, grep reported FOO to be
   binary when it found an encoding error in FOO before generating
   output for FOO, which meant it never reported both matching text and
   matching binary data; this was less useful for searching text
   containing encoding errors in non-matching lines.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.21]

 * grep -c no longer stops counting when finding binary data.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.21]

 * grep no longer outputs encoding errors in unibyte locales.
   For example, if the byte '\x81' is not a valid character in a
   unibyte locale, grep treats the byte as binary data.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.21]

 * grep -oP is no longer susceptible to an infinite loop when processing
   invalid UTF8 just before a match.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.22]

 * --exclude and related options are now matched against trailing
   parts of command-line arguments, not against the entire arguments.
   This partly reverts the --exclude-related change in 2.22.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.22]

 * --line-buffer is no longer ineffective when combined with -l.
   [bug introduced in grep-2.5]

 * -xw is now equivalent to -x more consistently, with -P and with
 backrefs.
   [bug only partially fixed in grep-2.19]
