The relevant part of the NEWS file is appended below. This release comes soon after 4.1.2 since there was a severe bug in how regexps were parsed. Thanks to everyone who reported problems and helped with solutions. Differences from gawk 4.1.2 are available: -rw-r--r-- 1 arnold arnold 42147 May 20 18:07 gawk-4.1.2-4.1.3.diff.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 arnold arnold 473 May 20 18:12 gawk-4.1.2-4.1.3.diff.gz.sig The .diff file is a shell script that should be executed in the gawk-4.1.2 source directory. The usual GNU build incantation should be used: tar -xpvzf gawk-4.1.3.tar.gz cd gawk-4.1.3 ./configure && make && make check The documentation on the GNU web site has will be updated in the next week or two. Bug reports should be sent to [email protected]. Enjoy! Arnold Robbins (on behalf of all the gawk developers) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------ Changes from 4.1.2 to 4.1.3 --------------------------- 1. Regexp parsing with extra brackets should now be working again. There are several new tests to keep this stuff on track. 2. Updated to latest config.guess and config.sub. 3. A (small) number of bugs have been fixed. See the ChangeLog. -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
