See `README_d/README.pc' +for more info. + +The mmap changes are disabled in io.c, and will be removed entirely +in the next big release. They were an interesting experiment that just +really didn't work in practice. + +A minor memory leak that occurred when using `next' from within a +function has also been fixed. + +Problems with I/O from sub-processes via a pipe are now gone. + +Using "/dev/pid" and the other special /dev files no longer causes a core dump. + +The files regex.h, regex.c, getopt.h, getopt.c, and getopt1.c have been +merged with the versions in GNU libc. Thanks to Ulrich Drepper for his help. + +Some new undocumented features have been added. Use the source, Luke! +It is not clear yet whether these will ever be fully supported. + +Array performance should be much better for very very large arrays. "Virtual +memory required, real memory helpful." + +builtin.c:do_substr rationalized, again. + +The --re-interval option now works as advertised. + +The license text on some of the missing/* files is now generic. + +Lots more new test cases. + +Lots of other small bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog files for details. + Changes from 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 --------------------------- @@ -1550,7 +1591,7 @@ Thu Jan 4 14:19:30 1990 Jim Kingdon (kingdon at albert) Sun Dec 24 16:16:05 1989 David J.
