+Changes from 3.1.7 to 3.1.8
+---------------------------
+1. The zero flag no longer applies to %c and %s; apparently the standards
+ changed at some point.
+
+2. Updated to latest infrastructure: Autoconf 2.65, Automake 1.11.1,
+ libtool 2.2.6b, Bison 2.4.2.
+
+3. Failure to open a socket is no longer a fatal error.
+
+4. dfa.h and dfa.c are now more-or-less in sync with GNU grep, for the first
+ time in many years.
+
+5. Gawk no longer includes its own copy of libsigsegv but it will use it if
+ installed on the build system. The --disable-libsigsegv configure option
+ is now gone.
+
+6. The ' flag (%'d) is now just ignored on systems that can't support it.
+
+7. Lots of bug fixes, see the ChangeLog.
