[Grep-devel] upcoming release of grep-2.27

[Jim Meyering]

There have been enough important fixes that I would like to make a new
release soon.

One blocker is https://bugs.gnu.org/24975, whereby grep can print
false matches in non-UTF8 multibyte locales. I.e., this should print
1, but currently prints 0:

  printf '\2010\2077\n' | LC_ALL=zh_CN.gb18030 src/grep -q '.*7'; echo $?

If you can suggest other problems that should be fixed before release,
please let us know.
