this gawk version is newer than the version shipped with 1.6 and has some potentially useful features such as 2 way pipes which allow easy access to the sort(1) command. Changes from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1 --------------------------- 1. Six new translations. 2. Having more than 4 different value for OFMT and/or CONVFMT now works. 3. The handling of dynamic regexes is now more more sane, esp. w.r.t. the profiling code. The profiling code has been fixed in several places. 4. The return value of index("", "") is now 1. 5. Gawk should no longer close fd 0 in child processes. 6. Fixed test for strtod semantics and regenerated configure. 7. Gawk can now be built with byacc; an accidental bison dependency was removed. 8. yyerror() will no longer dump core on long source lines. 9. Gawk now correctly queries getgroups(2) to figure out how many groups the process has. 10. New configure option to force use of included strftime, e.g. on Solaris systems. See `./configure --help' for the details. Replaced the included strftime.c with the one from textutils. 11. OS/2 port has been updated. 12. Multi-byte character support has been added, courtesy of IBM Japan. 13. The `for (iggy in foo) delete foo[iggy]' -> `delete foo' optimisation now works. 14. Upgraded to gettext 0.11.2 and automake 1.5. 15. Full gettext compatibility (new dcngettext function). 16. The O'Reilly copyedits and indexing changes for the documentation have been folded into the texinfo version of the manuals. 17. A humongously long value for the AWKPATH environment variable will no longer dump core. 18. Configuration / Installation issues have been straightened out in Makefile.am. |
