+Changes from 4.0.1 to 4.1
+-------------------------
+1. The three executables gawk, pgawk, and dgawk, have been merged into
+ one, named just gawk. As a result:
+ * The -R option is gone
+ * Use -D to run the debugger. An optional file argument is a
+ list of commands to run first.
+ * Use -o to do pretty-printing only.
+ * Use -p to do profiling.
+
+2. The new -l option is used for loading dynamic extensions.
+
+3. Gawk now supports high precision arithmetic with MPFR.
+
+4. A number of facilities from xgawk have been merged in!
