* Wed Jan 27 2021 Avindra Goolcharan - update to latest rev from GitHub
* feature: add a \"continue\" builtin
* feature: implement the `flag` builtin
* feature: implement `if not`
* feature: default values for $nl and $tab
* feature: new developer mode, enabled with \"--enable-develop\" at the \"configure\" stage, dumps each parse tree after it is built.
* feature: parse equals like a keyword, meaning it can appear unquoted in commands
* feature: readline can now complete commands
* bug: fix use-after-free bug
* bug: fix bug with signal handlers and readline
* bug: fix bug with \"break\" inside local variable block
* bug: more signal / readline fixes
* bug: the \"-e\" flag did the wrong thing with respect to \"while\" loops
* bug: the precedence of prefix redirect was lower than pipe, which led to some counter-intuitive parses
* bug: rc with readline support failed to notice window size changes correctly
* bug: using \"-e\" led to incorrect exit status
* bug: the grammar disallowed local assignments and redirections in the true branch of `if` when there was an `else` clause
* documentation: \"~ $x ()\" is something of a special case. The man page now goes into some more detail
* testing: use \"pwd -P\" which is friendlier to macOS

* Licensing: due to GPL compatibility concerns, the license is changed again to the \"zlib\" license.- includes 1.7.3:

* pkg: various autoconf / automake updates and tweaks.
* bug: in initinput(), the call ugchar(EOF) used the ungetcount member of the top Input structure without initializing it.
