- Update to version 4.0.0 , important changes
 * The special files /dev/pid, /dev/ppid, /dev/pgrpid and /dev/user are
    now completely gone. Use PROCINFO instead.
 * The POSIX 2008 behavior for `sub' and `gsub' are now the default.
 * In POSIX mode, string comparisons use strcoll/wcscoll.
 * Gawk now treats ranges of the form [d-h] as if they were in the C

- update to 3.1.8:
* The zero flag no longer applies to %c and %s; apparently the standards
changed at some point.
* Failure to open a socket is no longer a fatal error.
* dfa.h and dfa.c are now more-or-less in sync with GNU grep, for the first
time in many years.
* 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.
* The ' flag (%'d) is now just ignored on systems that can't support it.
* Gawk now has support for z/OS (IBM S/390 architecture).
* Gawk now handles multibyte strings better in [s]printf with field
widths and such.
* A getline from a directory is no longer fatal; instead it returns -1.
* Per POSIX, special variable names (like FS) cannot be used as function
parameter names.
* The new -O / --optimize option enables simple constant folding on
the parse tree during parsing. We hope that with time the number
of optimizations will increase.
* Lots of bug fixes, see the ChangeLog.

- Update to gawk 3.1.6.
1. `gawk 'program' /non/existant/file' no longer core dumps.
2. Too many people the world over have complained about gawk's use of the
locale's decimal point for parsing input data instead of the traditional
period. So, even though gawk was being nicely standards-compliant, in
a Triumph For The Users, gawk now only uses the locale's decimal point
if --posix is supplied or if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. It is the sincere
hope that this change will eliminate this FAQ from being asked.
3. `gawk -v BINMODE=1 ...' works again.
4. Internal file names like `/dev/user' now work again. (Note that these
file names are obsolete and will go away eventually.)
5. Problems with wide strings in non "C" locales have been straightened
out everywhere. (At least, we think so.)
6. Use of `ansi2knr' is no longer supported. Please use an ANSI C compiler.
7. Updated to Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10, and Gettext 0.16.1.
8. The getopt* and regex* files were synchronized with current GLIBC CVS.
See the ChangeLog for the versions and minor edits made.
9. There are additional --lint-old warnings.
10. Gawk now uses getaddrinfo(3) to look up names and IP addresses. This
allows the use of an IPv6 format address and paves the way for
eventual addition of `/inet6/...' and `/inet4/...' hostnames.
11. We believe gawk to now be valgrind clean. At least when run against
the test suite.
12. A number of issues dealing with the formatting and printing of very
large numbers in integer formats have been dealt with and fixed.
13. Gawk now converts "+inf", "-inf", "+nan" and "-nan" into the corresponding
magic IEEE floating point values. Only those strings (case independent)
work. With --posix, gawk calls the system strtod directly. You asked
for it, you got it, you deal with it.
14. Defining YYDEBUG enables the -D command line option.
15. Gawk should now work out of the box on Tandem NSK/OSS systems.
16. Lint messages rationalized: many more of the messages are now printed
only once, instead of every time they are encountered.
17. The strftime() function now accepts an optional third argument, which
if non-zero or non-null, indicates that the time should be formatted
as UTC instead of as local time.
18. The precedence of concatenation and `| getline' (in something like
"echo " "date" | getline stuff) has been reverted to the earlier
behavior and now once again matches Unix awk.
19. New configure time flag --disable-directories-fatal which causes
gawk to silently skip directories on the command line. This behavior
is also enabled for --traditional, since it's what Unix awk does.
20. A new option, --use-lc-numeric, forces use of the locale's decimal
point without the rest of the draconian restrictions imposed by
--posix. This softens somewhat the stance taken in item #2.
21. Everything relevant has been updated to the GPL 3.
22. Array growth should be faster now, at no cost in space.
23. Lots more tests.
24. One new translation.
25. Various bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog for details.
