This is to announce grep-3.0, a stable release. Why so soon after 2.28? Because 2.28 introduced a pretty serious bug. Why call it 3.0? Mostly because I felt like it.
There have been 4 commits by 2 people in the 3 days since 2.28.
Thanks to Paul Eggert for both of the nontrivial commits.
See the NEWS below for a brief summary.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
The following people contributed changes to this release:

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify grep-3.0.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
