I used master in releasing grep-3.9 recently, and that has so far exposed no issue. > Thanks for the info. I've been too swamped to shepherd a release, > unfortunately. But we should do one soon. There are a bunch of pending patches, for which I've been unable to find time. Can someone see if there's some small/safe set of changes that are essential? If none (or few/easy), I might have time to make a snapshot soon. I wouldn't be averse to making a quick release now, and to plan for a follow-up once people find time for additional patches.
