First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify grep-2.28.tar.xz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69.185-b502e Automake 1.99a Gnulib v0.1-1146-gb6acb8d NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 2.28 (2017-02-06) [stable] ** Bug fixes When grep -Fo finds matches of differing length, it could mistakenly print a shorter one. Now it prints a longest one. [bug introduced in grep-2.26] When standard output is /dev/null, grep no longer fails when standard input is a file in the Linux /proc file system, or when standard input is a pipe and standard output is in append mode. [bugs introduced in grep-2.27] Fix performance regression with multiple patterns, e.g., for -Fi in a multi-byte locale, or for -Fw in a single-byte locale. [bugs introduced in grep-2.19, grep-2.22 and grep-2.26] ** Improvements Improve performance for -E or -G pattern lists that are easily converted to -F format. also posted as: https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8797
