7. The "where" command has been added to the debugger as an alias
for "backtrace". This will make life easier for long-time GDB users.
+8. Gawk no longer explicitly checks the current directory after doing
+ a path search of AWKPATH. The default value continues to have "." at
+ the front, so most people should not be affected. If you have your own
+ AWKPATH setting, be sure to put "." in it somewhere. The documentation
+ has been updated and clarified.

XX. A number of bugs have been fixed. See the ChangeLog.
