Changelog for
gawk-5.3.0-1.5.x86_64.rpm :
* Sat Nov 04 2023 Andreas Stieger
- Update to 5.3.0:
* Built-in CSV file parsing (--csv)

* Tue May 09 2023 Andreas Stieger - Update to gawk 5.2.2
* will now diagnose if a heap file was created with a different setting of -M/--bignum than in the current invocation and exit with a fatal message if so.
* no longer \"leaks\" its free list of NODEs in the heap file, resulting in much more efficient usage of persistent storage
* PROCINFO[\"pma\"] exists if the PMA allocator is compiled into gawk. Its value is the PMA version.
* The time extension is no longer deprecated. The strptime() function from gawkextlib\'s timex extension has been added to it.
* Better information is passed to input parsers for when they want to decide whether or not to take control of a file.
* The various PNG files are now installed for Info and HTML
* Bug fixes and developer visible fixes

* Wed Nov 23 2022 Andreas Schwab - Update to gawk 5.2.1
* Issues related to the sign of NaN and Inf values on RiscV have been fixed
* A few issues with the debugger have been fixed.
* More subtle issues with untyped array elements being passed to functions have been fixed.
* The rwarray extension\'s readall() function has had some bugs fixed.
* The PMA allocator is now supported on FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux on S/390x.- double-free.patch, pma.patch, nan-sign.patch: Removed
* Sat Sep 24 2022 Andreas Schwab - double-free.patch: Yet another fix for Node_elem_new
* Tue Sep 20 2022 Andreas Schwab - double-free.patch: Fix Node_elem_new op, replacing upref.patch- pma.patch: Replace with upstream solution- nan-sign.patch: Fix negative NaN issue on RiscV, replacing nan-tests.patch
* Tue Sep 13 2022 Andreas Schwab - upref.patch: Add missing UPREF
* Mon Sep 05 2022 Andreas Schwab - Update to gawk 5.2.0
* Numeric scalars now compare in the same way as C for the relational operators. Comparison order for sorting has not changed
* If the AWK_HASH environment variable is set to \"fnv1a\" gawk will use the FNV1-A hash function for associative arrays
* There is now a new function, mkbool(), that creates Boolean-typed values
* As BWK awk has supported interval expressions since 2019, they are now enabled even if --traditional is supplied
* The rwarray extension has two new functions, writeall() and readall()
* The new `gawkbug\' script should be used for reporting bugs
* The manual page (doc/gawk.1) has been considerably reduced in size
* Gawk now supports Terence Kelly\'s \"persistent malloc\" (pma), allowing gawk to preserve its variables, arrays and user-defined functions between runs
* Some subtle issues with untyped array elements being passed to functions have been fixed
* Syntax errors are now immediately fatal- gawk-5.1.1-Disable-racy-test-in-test-iolint.awk.patch: removed- pma.patch: Handle hole bigger than half the address space- nan-tests.patch: fix non-portable NaN tests
* Sun Nov 14 2021 Andreas Stieger - disable racy iolint tests boo#1192521 add gawk-5.1.1-Disable-racy-test-in-test-iolint.awk.patch
* Sat Nov 06 2021 Andreas Schwab - Add readline-devel to enable readline support in the debugger- Add mpfr-devel to enable support for MPFR mode
* Sun Oct 31 2021 Andreas Stieger - GNU awk 5.1.1
* asort and asorti now allow FUNCTAB and SYMTAB as the first argument if a second destination array is supplied. Similarly, using either array as the second argument is now a fatal error. Additionally, using either array as the destination for split(), match(), etc. also causes a fatal error.
* The new -I/--trace option prints a trace of the byte codes as they are executed.
* A number of subtle bugs relating to MPFR mode that caused differences between regular operation and MPFR mode have been fixed.
* The API now handles MPFR/GMP values slightly differently, requiring different memory management for those values.
* $0 and the fields are now cleared before starting a BEGINFILE rule.
* Handling of Infinity and NaN values has been improved
* The \"no effect\" lint warnings have been fixed up and now behave more sanely.
* The behavior of strongly-typed regexp constants when passed as the third argument to sub() or gsub() has been clarified in the code and in the manual.
* Similar to item #4 above, division by zero is now fatal in MPFR mode, as it is in regular mode.
* Thu Sep 23 2021 Manfred Schwarb - remove update-alternatives support, as on linux systems GNU software (i.e. gawk in this case) is usually considered the default implementation.- use %make macros
* Thu Feb 04 2021 Ludwig Nussel - fix update-alternatives usage. Needs to be in %postun according to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Multiple_Version_guidelines#update-alternatives_mechanism
