A new option, `--exec' has been added. It's like -f but ends option + processing. It also disables `x=y' variable assignments, but not -v. + It's needed mainly for CGI scripts, so that source code can't be + passed in as part of the URL. + +3. dfa.[ch] have been synced with GNU grep development.

The getopt* and regex* files were synchronized with current GLIBC CVS. + See the ChangeLog for the versions and minor edits made. + +7. `configure --disable-nls' now disables just gawk's own translations. + Gawk continues to work with the locale's numeric formatting. This + includes a bug fix in handling the printf ' flag (e.g., %'d). + +8. Gawk is now multibyte aware. This means that index(), length(), + substr() and match() all work in terms of characters, not bytes. + +9. Gawk is now smarter about parsing numeric constants in corner cases. + +11. Not closing open redirections no longer causes gawk to exit non-zero. + +10. The VMS port has been updated. + +11. Changes from Andrew Schorr at the xmlgawk project to provide for + open hooks from extensions are now included. This will let the + xmlgawk extension work in the standard gawk. + +12. Updated to gettext 0.14.4. Gawk no longer includes its own copy + of the gettext `intl' library, following current GNU practice to + rely on there being an external version thereof. + +13. A regexp of the form `//' will now generate a warning that it + is not a C++ comment from --lint (awk.y). + +14. The ^ and ^= operators with an integer exponent now use Exponentiation + by Squaring. This simultaneously fixes a problem with ^= and a negative + integer exponent. + +15. length(array) now returns the number of elements in the array. This is + is a non-standard extension that will fail in POSIX mode. + +16. Carriage return characters are now ignored in program source code. + +17. Four new translations added. + +18.
