+ update-copyright: avoid copyright notice date corruption
+ Given a sequence of copyright year numbers in which the final
+ one was a two-digit number that happened to be a substring of
+ a preceding four-digit year number, we would mistakenly update
+ the substring (from two- to four-digit) rather than the two-digit
+ number at the end, which, combined with the addition of the current
+ 4-digit year number would yield two 5-digit year numbers, e.g.,
+ here, it would convert the first "99" to "1999, 2013" rather than
+ the final one:
+ 1991, 99
+ 11999, 20131, 1999
+ * build-aux/update-copyright: Tighten a regexp.
+ * tests/test-update-copyright.sh: Add a test case to trigger the bug.

+ regex: omit needless signed-pointer casts
+ * lib/regcomp.c (build_charclass, build_charclass_op):
+ Use char *, not unsigned char *, for class name and extra.
+ The char values are always nonnegative so there's no need to
+ insist on unsigned char * here, and using char * removes the need
+ for casts. Reported by Aharon Robbins in
+ <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00456.html>.
+
+ regex: support Gawk, which never uses alloca
+ * lib/regex_internal.h [!_LIBC && !HAVE_ALLOCA]:
+ Do not include in this case. Gawk doesn't supply a substitute
+ alloca.h and doesn't need one.
+
+ regex: port __libc_lock_define usage to C89
+ * lib/regex_internal.h (__libc_lock_define) [!_LIBC]: Remove.
+ (struct re_dfa_t): Use #ifdef instead. '__libc_lock_define (, lock)'
+ does not conform to C89, as it has an empty macro argument.
+ Reported by Aharon Robbins in
+ <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00456.html>.

+
+ maint: update all copyright year number ranges
+ Run "make update-copyright".
+
+ version-etc: bump copyright year reported in --version
+ * lib/version-etc.c (COPYRIGHT_YEAR): Update to 2013.
+

+
+ sigprocmask-tests: skip test if pid is unexpectedly large
+ * tests/test-sigprocmask.c (main): Add range check.
+
+ git-version-gen: avoid test -z portability glitch
+ * build-aux/git-version-gen: Prefer portable test spelling, since
+ git-version-gen is run on more than just developer machines.
+
+2012-12-31 Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se> (tiny change)
+
+ git-version-gen: add --fallback option to use if git is not present
+ * build-aux/git-version-gen: Add support for the new option --fallback,
+ which comes into play when there is no $tarball_version_file and
+ git is not working.
+ (scriptversion): Update.
+
+ maint.mk: handle missing git with more grace
+ * top/maint.mk (no-submodule-changes, public-submodule-commit):
+ Quietly proceed if git is not present.

+
+ dup2: work around cygwin bug
+ * m4/dup2.m4 (gl_FUNC_DUP2): Flush out cygwin core dump.
+ * lib/dup2.c (rpl_dup2): Work around it.
+ * doc/posix-functions/dup2.texi (dup2): Document it.
+
+2012-12-30 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ regex: remove unnecessary dependency on localcharset.h
+ * lib/regex_internal.h [!_LIBC]: Don't include localcharset.h;
+ hasn't been needed for years.
+ * modules/regex (Depends-on): Remove localcharset.
+
+ regex: revert single-byte change
+ * lib/regexec.c (check_node_accept_bytes): Revert previous change
+ to this function. This was alredy fixed in a different way, at
+ bdb56bacd57070eced9998569ffe3f3c37ef5964 in the glibc git; see
+ <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510219> and
+ <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9697>.
+
+ regex: simplify based on Gawk version
+ * lib/regex_internal.c (re_dfa_add_node): Simplify.
+ Reported by Aharon Robbins in

+ regex: check that pattern char is single-byte
+ Reported by Aharon Robbins in
+ <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-12/msg00456.html>.
+ * lib/regexec.c (check_node_accept_bytes):
+ Return 0 if the pattern string has a multibyte character here.
+
regex: implement rational ranges
