Greetings all. This note announces the next minor release of GNU Awk: version 4.0.1.
The following files may be retrieved from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk, or via HTTP from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk: -rw-r--r-- 1 arnold arnold 2680974 Mar 28 22:03 gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 arnold arnold 1612448 Mar 28 22:03 gawk-4.0.1.tar.xz This is a bug fix release. The relevant part of the NEWS file is appended below. Differences from gawk 4.0.0 are not available. The usual GNU build incantation should be used: tar -xpvzf gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz cd gawk-4.0.1 ./configure && make && make check Bug reports should be sent to bug-g...@gnu.org. Enjoy! Arnold Robbins (on behalf of all the gawk developers) arn...@skeeve.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Changes from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 --------------------------- 1. The default handling of backslash in sub() and gsub() has been reverted to the behavior of 3.1. It was silly to think I could break compatibility that way, even for standards compliance. 2. Completed the implementation of Rational Range Interpretation. 3. Failure to get the group set is no longer a fatal error. 4. Lots of minor bugs fixed and portability clean-ups along the way. See the ChangeLog for details. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
