* Sun May 03 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com- GNU awk 4.1.2:
* manual improved
* The debugger\'s \"restart\" command now works again.
* Redirected getline is now allowed inside BEGINFILE/ENDFILE.
* A number of bugs have been fixed in the MPFR code.
* Indirect function calls now work for both built-in and extension functions.
* Built-in functions are now included in FUNCTAB.
* In non-English locales, it was accidentally possible to use non-english letters for identifiers
* The \"where\" command has been added to the debugger as an alias for \"backtrace\".
* Gawk no longer explicitly checks the current directory after doing a path search of AWKPATH.
* Infrastructure upgrades: Automake 1.15, Gettext 0.19.4, Libtool 2.4.6, Bison 3.0.4.
* If a user-defined function has a parameter with the same name as another user-defined function, it is no longer possible to call the second function from inside the first.
* POSIX requires that the names of function parameters not be the same as any of the special built-in variables and also not conflict with the names of any functions. Gawk has checked for the former since 3.1.7. With --posix, it now also checks for the latter.
* The test suite should check for necessary locales and skip the tests where it matters if support isn\'t what it should be.
* Gawk now expects to be compiled on a system with multibyte character support.- drop gawk-4.1.1-build-baddest.patch, upstream
* Sat May 03 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- remove optional libsigsegv dependency
* Tue Apr 29 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU awk 4.1.1:
* The \"stat\" extension now includes a \"devbsize\" element which indicates the units for the \"nblocks\" element.
* A number of bugs in the pretty-printing / profiling code have been fixed.
* The -O option now works again.
* The --include option, documented since 4.0, now actually works.
* Infrastructure updated to automake 1.13.4, bison 3.0.2, and libtool 2.4.2.418.
* The configure script now accepts a --disable-extensions option, which disables checking for and building the extensions.
* The API now provides functions pointers for malloc(), calloc(), realloc() and free(), to insure that the same memory allocation functions are always used. This bumps the minor version by one.
* The printf quote flag now works correctly in locales with a different decimal point character but without a thousands separator character. If the thousands separator is a string, it will be correctly added to decimal numbers.
* The readfile extension now has an input parser that will read whole files as a single record.- packaging changes:
* remove added German po file and scanning of translations
* remove profiling, fixing warning make-check-outside-check-section
* remove autoreconf call
* drop gawk-3.1.8.diff
* drop older-automake.diff, not required for factory
* build with libsigsegv
* no not regenerate info pages
* add gawk-4.1.1-build-baddest.patch required for install
* switch to xz tarball
* verify source signature
* Sat Feb 08 2014 gberAATTopensuse.org- adjust update-alternative usage to packaging policy (see http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-02/msg00024.html)
* Mon May 13 2013 idonmezAATTsuse.com- Update to version 4.1.0
* The three executables gawk, pgawk, and dgawk, have been merged into one, named just gawk.
* The new -i option (from xgawk) is used for loading awk library files.
* The new -l option (from xgawk) is used for loading dynamic extensions.
* The dynamic extension interface has been completely redone. There is now a defined API for C extensions to use. A C extension acts like a function written in awk, except that it cannot do everything that awk code can. However, this allows interfacing to any facility that is available from C.
* The \"inplace\" extension, built using the new facility, can be used to simulate the GNU \"sed -i\" feature.
* The and(), or() and xor() functions now take any number of arguments, with a minimum of two.
* New arrays: SYMTAB, FUNCTAB, and PROCINFO[\"identifiers\"]. SYMTAB allows indirect access to any defined variable or array; it is possible to \"walk\" the symbol table, if that should be necessary.- Refreshed gawk-3.1.8.diff- Add older-automake.diff to support automake 1.12
* Tue Mar 26 2013 mmeisterAATTsuse.com- Added url as source. Please see http://en.opensuse.org/SourceUrls

* Tue Sep 27 2011 idonmezAATTsuse.com- Revert sub/gsub behavior to that of gawk 3.x. Upstream commit 16de770359370224129f23df745178efe518c02c
* Wed Aug 10 2011 crrodriguezAATTopensuse.org- 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
* Tue Apr 19 2011 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- 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.
