This file lists all bug fixes, changes, etc., made since the AWK book was sent to the printers in August, 1987. +May 29,2019: + Fix check for command line arguments to no longer require that + first character after '=' not be another '='.

Needed + for Android development. Thanks to GitHub user mohd-akram (Mohamed + Akram). From Comment #33. + +Mar 12, 2019: + Added very simplistic support for cross-compiling in the + makefile. We are NOT going to go in the direction of the + autotools, though. Thanks to GitHub user nee-san for + the basic change. (Merged from PR #34.) + +Mar 5, 2019: + Added support for POSIX-standard interval expressions (a.k.a. + bounds, a.k.a. repetition expressions) in regular expressions, + backported (via NetBSD) from Apple awk-24 (20070501). + Thanks to Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org> for the port. + (Merged from PR #30.) + +Mar 3, 2019: + Merge PRs as follows: + #12: Avoid undefined behaviour when using ctype(3) functions in + relex().

Revised fix August 2018. + + 2. system-status: Instead of a floating-point division by 256, use + the wait(2) macros to create a reasonable exit status. + Fixed March 12, 2016. + + 3. space: Use provided xisblank() function instead of ispace() for + matching [[:blank:]]. + + 4. a-format: Add POSIX standard %a and %A to supported formats. Check + at runtime that this format is available. + + 5. decr-NF: Decrementing NF did not change $0. This is a decades-old + bug. There are interactions with the old and new value of OFS as well. + Most of the fix came from the NetBSD awk. + + 6. string-conv: String conversions of scalars were sticky. Once a + conversion to string happened, even with OFMT, that value was used until + a new numeric value was assigned, even if OFMT differed from CONVFMT, + and also if CONVFMT changed. + + 7. unary-plus: Unary plus on a string constant returned the string. + Instead, it should convert the value to numeric and give that value. + + Also added Arnold's tests for these to awktest.tar as T.arnold. + +Aug 15, 2018: + fixed mangled awktest.tar (thanks, Arnold), posted all + current (very minor) fixes to github / onetrueawk + +Jun 7, 2018: + (yes, a long layoff) + Updated some broken tests (beebe.tar, T.lilly) + [thanks to Arnold Robbins] + +Mar 26, 2015: + buffer overflow in error reporting; thanks to tobias ulmer + and john-mark gurney for spotting it and the fix. + +Feb 4, 2013: + cleaned up a handful of tests that didn't seem to actually + test for correct behavior: T.latin1, T.gawk. + +Jan 5, 2013: + added ,NULL initializer to static Cells in run.c; not really + needed but cleaner.
