[platform-testers] new snapshot available: grep-3.11.68-05f8

[Jim Meyering]

I want to release grep-3.12 by Tuesday or Wednesday, so here's a snapshot
of the latest.  It's been a whopping 693 days (nearly two years) since
grep-3.11.  However, the list of NEWS items is short enough that I'll
include it here:

** 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 now supports
  Unicode characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane.

Any tests (success/failure) you can tell us about would be most welcome.

Thanks from all of us,
Jim
