I want to release grep-2.29 tomorrow, because 2.28
introduced a pretty bad bug, so any quick testing
you can do would be most welcome.

For details on that bug, see the report,
https://bugs.gnu.org/25655 and the fix:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=6e4c8728f0e75

NEWS:
---------------
  grep without -F no longer goes awry when given two or more patterns
  that contain no special characters other than '\' and also contain a
  subpattern like '\.' that escapes a character to make it ordinary.
  [bug introduced in grep 2.28]

  grep no longer fails to build on PCRE versions before 8.20.

      Do not assume PCRE 8.20 or later
      grep: do not mishandle \. in multiple patterns
