As I was learning (teaching myself) to use grep, I ran into a problem, some examples I was testing didn't work as I expected. I decided to try to figure out the problem on my own. First I would check that I was using the most up to date version of grep available. I searched for hours to no avail. I saw grep 2.5 & 3.0 referenced a few times and I have 2.25. So, my simple question at this point is;

Is grep 2.25 the most recent version available for ubuntu 16.04?

You can visit packages.ubuntu.com and determine version numbers (2.25 on xenial, 3.1 on bionic).

You can always install 18.04 LTS on VM and test grep here.

Also you can compare man 1 grep-pages on xenial and on bionic to determine the differences.
