+Changes from 4.1.x to 4.2.0
+---------------------------
+
+1. If not in POSIX mode, changes to ENVIRON are reflected into
+ gawk's environment, affecting any programs run by system()
+ or for piped redirections.
+
+2. The series of numbers returned by rand() should now be "more
+ random" than previously. Gawk's rand() remains repeatable; you will
+ get the same series of numbers each time you call rand() repeatedly,
+ but this will be a different series than previously.
+
+3. The --pretty-print option no longer runs the program too.
