Update to 4.0. Provided by Sergey Litvinov <slitvinov@gmail.com>
on pkgsrc-users.

Changes:

Changes from 3.1.8 to 4.0.0
---------------------------

1. The special files /dev/pid, /dev/ppid, /dev/pgrpid and /dev/user are
   now completely gone. Use PROCINFO instead.

2. The POSIX 2008 behavior for `sub' and `gsub' are now the default.
   THIS CHANGES BEHAVIOR!!!!

3. The \s and \S escape sequences are now recognized in regular expressions.

4. The split() function accepts an optional fourth argument which is an array
   to hold the values of the separators.

5. The new -b / --characters-as-bytes option means "hands off my data"; gawk
   won't try to treat input as a multibyte string.

6. There is a new --sandbox option; see the doc.

7. Indirect function calls are now available.

8. Interval expressions are now part of default regular expressions for
   GNU Awk syntax.

9. --gen-po is now correctly named --gen-pot.

10. switch / case is now enabled by default. There's no longer a need
    for a configure-time option.

11. Gawk now supports BEGINFILE and ENDFILE. See the doc for details.

12. Directories named on the command line now produce a warning, not
    a fatal error, unless --posix or --traditional.

13. The new FPAT variable allows you to specify a regexp that matches
    the fields, instead of matching the field separator. The new patsplit()
    function gives the same capability for splitting.

14. All long options now have short options, for use in `#!' scripts.

15. Support for IPv6 is added via the /inet6/... special file. /inet4/...
    forces IPv4 and /inet chooses the system default (probably IPv4).

16. Added a warning for /[:space:]/ that should be /[[:space:]]/.

17. Merged with John Haque's byte code internals. Adds dgawk debugger and
    possibly improved performance.

18. `break' and `continue' are no longer valid outside a loop, even with
    --traditional.

19. POSIX character classes work with --traditional (BWK awk supports them).

20. Nuked redundant --compat, --copyleft, and --usage long options.

21. Arrays of arrays added. See the doc.

22. Per the GNU Coding Standards, dynamic extensions must now define
    a global symbol indicating that they are GPL-compatible. See
    the documentation and example extensions.
    THIS CHANGES BEHAVIOR!!!!

23. In POSIX mode, string comparisons use strcoll/wcscoll.
    THIS CHANGES BEHAVIOR!!!!

24. The option for raw sockets was removed, since it was never implemented.

25. Gawk now treats ranges of the form [d-h] as if they were in the C
    locale, no matter what kind of regexp is being used, and even if
    --posix.  The latest POSIX standard allows this, and the documentation
    has been updated.  Maybe this will stop all the questions about
    [a-z] matching uppercase letters.
    THIS CHANGES BEHAVIOR!!!!

26. PROCINFO["strftime"] now holds the default format for strftime().

27. Updated to latest infrastructure: Autoconf 2.68, Automake 1.11.1,
    Gettext 0.18.1, Bison 2.5.

28. Many code cleanups. Removed code for many old, unsupported systems:
	- Atari
	- Amiga
	- BeOS
	- Cray
	- MIPS RiscOS
	- MS-DOS with Microsoft Compiler
	- MS-Windows with Microsoft Compiler
	- NeXT
	- SunOS 3.x, Sun 386 (Road Runner)
	- Tandem (non-POSIX)
	- Prestandard VAX C compiler for VAX/VMS
	- Probably others that I've forgotten

29. If PROCINFO["sorted_in"] exists, for(iggy in foo) loops sort the
    indices before looping over them.  The value of this element
    provides control over how the indices are sorted before the loop
    traversal starts. See the manual.

30. A new isarray() function exists to distinguish if an item is an array
    or not, to make it possible to traverse multidimensional arrays.

31. asort() and asorti() take a third argument specifying how to sort.
    See the doc.

Update to 3.1.8:

Changes from 3.1.7 to 3.1.8
---------------------------
1. The zero flag no longer applies to %c and %s; apparently the standards
   changed at some point.

2. Updated to latest infrastructure: Autoconf 2.65, Automake 1.11.1,
   libtool 2.2.6b, Bison 2.4.2.

3. Failure to open a socket is no longer a fatal error.

4. dfa.h and dfa.c are now more-or-less in sync with GNU grep, for the first
   time in many years.

5. 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.

6. The ' flag (%'d) is now just ignored on systems that can't support it.

7. Lots of bug fixes, see the ChangeLog.

Update to 3.1.7:

Changes from 3.1.6 to 3.1.7
---------------------------
1. Gawk now has support for z/OS (IBM S/390 architecture).

2. Gawk now handles multibyte strings better in [s]printf with field
   widths and such.

3. Gawk now uses libsigsegv to print a message before core dumping. This
   handles infinite recursion of an awk function a little better.
   Use of the library can be disabled at configure time with the
   --disable-libsigsegv option for unusual systems.

4. The handling of BINMODE is now somewhat more sane.

5. A getline from a directory is no longer fatal; instead it returns -1.

6. Per POSIX, special variable names (like FS) cannot be used as function
   parameter names.

7. 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.

8. Updated to the latest autotools: Autoconf 2.63, Automake 1.11,
   Libtool 2.2.6a, and Gettext 0.17. Also latest Bison: 2.4.1.

9. Some improvement in testing for isinf / isnan in builtin.c.

10. Improved the handling of `a = a b c' to be more general.

11. Locale handling for %'d should now work on certain non-Unix /
    non-Linux systems.

12. Lots of bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog for the details.

Changes 3.1.6:
1. `gawk 'program' /non/existant/file' no longer core dumps.
2. gawk now only uses the locale's decimal point
3. `gawk -v BINMODE=1 ...' works again.
4. Internal file names like `/dev/user' now work again. (Note that these
   file names are obsolete and will go away eventually.)
5. Problems with wide strings in non "C" locales have been straightened
   out everywhere.  (At least, we think so.)
6. Use of `ansi2knr' is no longer supported. Please use an ANSI C compiler.
7. Updated to Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10, and Gettext 0.16.1.
8. The getopt* and regex* files were synchronized with current GLIBC CVS.
   See the ChangeLog for the versions and minor edits made.
9. There are additional --lint-old warnings.
10. Gawk now uses getaddrinfo(3) to look up names and IP addresses. This
    allows the use of an IPv6 format address and paves the way for
    eventual addition of `/inet6/...' and `/inet4/...' hostnames.
11. We believe gawk to now be valgrind clean. At least when run against
    the test suite.
12. A number of issues dealing with the formatting and printing of very
    large numbers in integer formats have been dealt with and fixed.
13. Gawk now converts "+inf", "-inf", "+nan" and "-nan" into the corresponding
    magic IEEE floating point values. Only those strings (case independent)
    work.  With --posix, gawk calls the system strtod directly. You asked
    for it, you got it, you deal with it.
14. Defining YYDEBUG enables the -D command line option.
15. Gawk should now work out of the box on Tandem NSK/OSS systems.
16. Lint messages rationalized: many more of the messages are now printed
    only once, instead of every time they are encountered.
17. The strftime() function now accepts an optional third argument, which
    if non-zero or non-null, indicates that the time should be formatted
    as UTC instead of as local time.
18. The precedence of concatenation and `| getline' (in something like
    "echo " "date" | getline stuff) has been reverted to the earlier
    behavior and now once again matches Unix awk.
19. New configure time flag --disable-directories-fatal which causes
    gawk to silently skip directories on the command line.  This behavior
    is also enabled for --traditional, since it's what Unix awk does.
20. A new option, --use-lc-numeric, forces use of the locale's decimal
    point without the rest of the draconian restrictions imposed by
    --posix. This softens somewhat the stance taken in item 2.
21. Everything relevant has been updated to the GPL 3.
22. Array growth should be faster now, at no cost in space.
23. Lots more tests.
24. One new translation.
25. Various bugs fixed, see the ChangeLog for details.

Update to 3.1.5:

Changes from 3.1.4 to 3.1.5
---------------------------

1. The random() suite has been updated to a current FreeBSD version, which
   works on systems with > 32-bit ints.

2. A new option, `--exec' has been added. It's like -f but ends option
   processing.  It also disables `x=y' variable assignments, but not -v.
   It's needed mainly for CGI scripts, so that source code can't be
   passed in as part of the URL.

3. dfa.[ch] have been synced with GNU grep development.  This also fixes
   multiple regex matching problems in multibyte locales.

4. Updated to Automake 1.9.5.

5. Updated to Bison 2.0.

6. The getopt* and regex* files were synchronized with current GLIBC CVS.
   See the ChangeLog for the versions and minor edits made.

7. `configure --disable-nls' now disables just gawk's own translations.
   Gawk continues to work with the locale's numeric formatting.  This
   includes a bug fix in handling the printf ' flag (e.g., %'d).

8. Gawk is now multibyte aware.  This means that index(), length(),
   substr() and match() all work in terms of characters, not bytes.

9. Gawk is now smarter about parsing numeric constants in corner cases.

11. Not closing open redirections no longer causes gawk to exit non-zero.

10. The VMS port has been updated.

11. Changes from Andrew Schorr at the xmlgawk project to provide for
    open hooks from extensions are now included.  This will let the
    xmlgawk extension work in the standard gawk.

12. Updated to gettext 0.14.4. Gawk no longer includes its own copy
    of the gettext `intl' library, following current GNU practice to
    rely on there being an external version thereof.

13. A regexp of the form `//' will now generate a warning that it
    is not a C++ comment from --lint (awk.y).

14. The ^ and ^= operators with an integer exponent now use Exponentiation
    by Squaring. This simultaneously fixes a problem with ^= and a negative
    integer exponent.

15. length(array) now returns the number of elements in the array.  This is
    is a non-standard extension that will fail in POSIX mode.

16. Carriage return characters are now ignored in program source code.

17. Four new translations added.

18. Various minor bugs fixed. See the ChangeLog for the details.

Update to 3.1.4, convert to bsd.options.mk:

Changes from 3.1.3 to 3.1.4
---------------------------

1. Gawk now supports the POSIX %F format, falling back to %f if the local
   system printf doesn't handle it.

2. Gawk now supports the ' flag in printf. E.g., %'d in a locale with thousands
   separators includes the thousands separator in the value, e.g. 12,345.

   This has one problem; the ' flag is next to impossible to use on the
   command line, without major quoting games.  Oh well, TANSTAAFL.

3. The dfa code has been reinstated; the performance degradation was
   just too awful.  Sigh.  (For fun, use `export GAWK_NO_DFA=1' to
   see the difference.)

4. The special case `x = x y' is now recognized in the grammar, and gawk
   now uses `realloc' to append the new value to the end of the existing
   one.  This can speed up the common case of appending onto a string.

5. The dfa code was upgraded with most of the fixes from grep 2.5.1, and
   the regex code was upgraded with GLIBC as mid-January 2004.  The regex
   code is faster than it was, but still not as fast as the dfa code, so
   the dfa code stays in.  The getopt code was also synced to current GLIBC.

6. Support code upgraded to Automake 1.8.5, Autoconf 2.59, and gettext 0.14.1.

7. When --posix is in effect, sub/gsub now follow the 2001 POSIX behavior.
   Yippee.  This is even documented in the manual.

8. Gawk will now recover children that have died (input pipelines, two-way
   pipes), upon detecting EOF from them, thus avoiding filling
   up the process table.  Open file descriptors are not recovered
   (unfortunately), since that could break awk semantics.  See the
   ChangeLog and the source code for the details.

9. Handling of numbers like `0,1' in non-American locales ought to
   work correctly now.

10. IGNORECASE is now locale-aware for characters with values above 128.
    The dfa matcher is now used for IGNORECASE matches too.

11. Dynamic function loading is better. The documentation has been improved
    and some new APIs for use by dynamic functions have been added.

12. Gawk now has a fighting chance of working on older systems,
    a la SunOS 4.1.x.

13. Issues with multibyte support on HP-UX are now resolved. `configure' now
    disables such support there, since it's not up to what gawk needs.

14. There are now even more tests in the test suite.

15. Various bugs fixed; see ChangeLog for the details.

Update to 3.1.3.
Changes from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3
---------------------------
1. Gawk now follows POSIX in handling of local numeric formats for
   input, output and number/string conversions.
2. Multibyte detection improved.  See README_d/README.multibyte for more
   info about multibyte locales.
3. Handling of `close' made more POSIX-compliant for POSIXLY_CORRECT,
   see the documentation.
4. The record reading code was redone, again.  This time it's much
   better. Really!
5. For RS = "\n" and RS = "", gawk now only sets RT when it has changed.
   This provides considerable performance improvement.
6. `match' now sets all the subscripts in the third argument array
   correctly, even if not all subexpressions matched.
7. Updated to Automake 1.7.5.  configure.in renamed configure.ac.
8. C-style switch statements are available, but must be enabled at
   compile time via `configure --enable-switch'.  For 3.2 they'll be
   enabled by default. Thanks to Michael Benzinger for the initial
   code.
9. %c now always prints no more than one character, whatever
   precision is provided.
10. strtonum(<number>) now works again.
11. Gawk is now much better about scalar/array typing of global
    uninitiailzed variables passed as parameters. Once the parameter
    is then used one way or the other, the global var's type is
    adjusted accordingly.  Thanks to Stepan Kasal for the original
    (considerable) changes.
12. Dynamic function loading under Windows32 should now be possible. See
    README_d/README.pcdynamic. Thanks to Patrick T.J. McPhee for the changes.
13. Updated to gettext 0.12.1.
14. Gawk now follows historical practice and POSIX for the return
    value of `rand': It's now  0 <= N < 1.

Changes from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2
---------------------------
1. Loops of the form:
	for (iggy in foo)
		next
   no longer leak memory.
2. gawk -v FIELDWIDTHS="..." now sets PROCINFO["FS"] correctly.
3. All builtin operations and functions should now fully evaluate their
   arguments so that side effects take place correctly.
4. Fixed a logic bug in gsub/gensub for matches to null strings that occurred
   later in the string after a nonnull match.
5. getgroups code now works on Ultrix again.
6. Completely new version of the full GNU regex engine now in place.
7. Argument parsing and variable assignment has been cleaned up.
8. An I/O bug on HP-UX has been documented and worked around. See
   README_d/README.hpux.
9. awklib/grcat should now compile correctly.
10. Updated to automake 1.7.3, autoconf 2.57 and gettext 0.11.5 ; thanks to
    Paul Eggert for the initial automake and autoconf work.
11. As a result of #6, removed the use of the dfa code from GNU grep.
12. It is now possible to use ptys for |& two-way pipes instead of
    pipes.  The basic plumbing for this was provided by Paolo Bonzini.
    To make this happen:
    	command = "unix command etc"
	PROCINFO[command, "pty"] = 1
	print ... |& command
	command |& getline stuff
    In other words, set the element in PROCINFO *before* opening the
    two-way pipe, and then gawk will use ptys instead of pipes.
    On systems without ptys or where all the ptys are in use, gawk
    will fall back to using plain pipes.
13. Fixed a regex matching across buffer boundaries bug, with a
    heuristic.  See io.c:rsre_get_a_record.
14. Profiling no longer dumps core if there are extension functions in place.
15. Grammar and scanner cleaned up, courtesy of Stepen Kasal, to hopefully
    once and for all fix the `/=' operator vs. `/=.../' regex ambiguity.
    Lots of other grammar simplifications applied, as well.
16. BINMODE should work now on more Windows ports.
17. Updated to bison 1.875.  Includes fix to bisonfix.sed script.
18. The NODE structure is now 20% (8 bytes) smaller (on x86, anyway), which
    should help conserve memory.
19. Builds not in the source directory should work again.
20. Arrays now use 2 NODE's per element instead of three. Combined with
    #18, (on the x86) this reduces the overhead from 120 bytes per element
    to just 64 bytes: almost a 50% improvement.
21. Programs that make heavy use of changing IGNORECASE should now be
    much faster, particularly if using a regular expression for FS or RS.
    IGNORECASE now correctly affects RS regex record splitting, as well.
22. IGNORECASE no longer affects single-character field splitting (FS = "c"),
    or single-character record splitting (RS = "c").
    This cleans up some weird behavior, and makes gawk better match the
    documentation, which says it only affects regex-based field splitting
    and record splitting.
    The documentation on this was improved, too.
23. The framework in test/ has been simplified, making it much easier to
    add new tests while keeping the size of Makefile.am reasonable. Thanks
    for this to Stepan Kasal.
24. --lint=invalid causes lint warnings only about stuff that's actually
    invalid.  This needs additional work.
25. More translations.
26. The `get_a_record' routine has been revamped (currently by splitting it
    into three variants).  This should improve long-term maintainability.
27. `match' now adds more entries to 3rd array arg:
	match("the big dog", /([a-z]+) ([a-z]+) ([a-z]+)/, data)
    fills in variables:
    	data[1, "start"], data[1, "length"], and so on.
28. New `asorti' function with same interface as `asort', but sorts indices
    instead of values.
29. Documentation updated to FDL 1.2.
30. New `configure' option --disable-lint at compile time disables lint
    checking.  With GCC dead-code-elimination, cuts almost 200K off the
    executable size on GNU/Linux x86.  Presumably speeds up runtime.
    Using this will cause some of the tests in the test suite to fail.

update to gawk-3.1.1.  While here, make this work again under NetBSD since
this gawk version is newer than the version shipped with 1.6 and has some
potentially useful features such as 2 way pipes which allow easy access to
the sort(1) command.


Changes from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1
---------------------------

1. Six new translations.

2. Having more than 4 different value for OFMT and/or CONVFMT now works.

3. The handling of dynamic regexes is now more more sane, esp. w.r.t.
   the profiling code.  The profiling code has been fixed in several
   places.

4. The return value of index("", "") is now 1.

5. Gawk should no longer close fd 0 in child processes.

6. Fixed test for strtod semantics and regenerated configure.

7. Gawk can now be built with byacc; an accidental bison dependency was
   removed.

8. yyerror() will no longer dump core on long source lines.

9. Gawk now correctly queries getgroups(2) to figure out how many groups
   the process has.

10. New configure option to force use of included strftime, e.g. on
    Solaris systems. See `./configure --help' for the details. Replaced
    the included strftime.c with the one from textutils.

11. OS/2 port has been updated.

12. Multi-byte character support has been added, courtesy of IBM Japan.

13. The `for (iggy in foo) delete foo[iggy]' -> `delete foo' optimisation
    now works.

14. Upgraded to gettext 0.11.2 and automake 1.5.

15. Full gettext compatibility (new dcngettext function).

16. The O'Reilly copyedits and indexing changes for the documentation have
    been folded into the texinfo version of the manuals.

17. A humongously long value for the AWKPATH environment variable will no
    longer dump core.

18. Configuration / Installation issues have been straightened out in
    Makefile.am.

Update to version 3.1.0 (lots of new features and bug fixes).

Enable this package for all platforms.

Added GAWK_ENABLE_PORTALS to mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk to enable/disable gawk
handling file names that start with `/p/' as a 4.4 BSD type portal file.

Changes from 3.0.4 to 3.0.5:
- bug fix release only.

Changes from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6:
- bug fix release only.

Changes from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0:
- A new PROCINFO array provides info about the process. The non-I/O /dev/xxx
  files are now obsolete, and their use always generates a warning.
- A new `mktime' builtin function was added for creating time stamps. The
  `mktime' function written in awk was removed from the user's guide.
- New `--gen-po' option creates GNU gettext .po files for strings marked
  with a leading underscore.
- Gawk now completely interprets special file names internally, ignoring the
  existence of real /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout files, etc.
- The mmap code was removed. It was a worthwhile experiment that just
  didn't work out.
- The BINMODE variable is new; on non-UNIX systems it affects how gawk
  opens files for text vs. binary.
- Gawk no longer supports `next file' as two words.
- On systems that support it, gawk now sets the `close on exec' flag on all
  files and pipes it opens. This makes sure that child processes run via
  system() or pipes have plenty of file descriptors available.
- If `--posix' is in effect, newlines are not allowed after ?:.
- Weird OFMT/CONVFMT formats no longer cause fatal errors.
- Diagnostics about array parameters now include the parameter's name,
  not just its number.
- It is now possible to open a two-way pipe via the `|&' operator.
  See the discussion in the manual about putting `sort' into such a pipeline,
  though.  (NOTE!  This is borrowed from ksh: it is not the same as
  the same operator in csh!)
- The close() function now takes an optional second string argument
  that allows closing one or the other end of the two-way pipe to
  a co-process.  This is needed to use `sort' in a co-process, see
  the doc.
- If TCP/IP is available, special file names beginning with `/inet'
  can be used with `|&' for IPC.
- With `--enable-portals' on the configure command line, gawk will also
  treat file names that start with `/p/' as a 4.4 BSD type portal file,
  i.e., a two-way pipe for `|&'.
- Unrecognized escapes, such as "\q" now always generate a warning.
- The LINT variable is new; it provides dynamic control over the --lint
  option.
- Lint warnings can be made fatal by using --lint=fatal or `LINT = "fatal"'.
  Use this if you're really serious about portable code.
- A number of lint warnings have been added.  Most notably, gawk will
  detect if a variable is used before assigned to.  Warnings for
  when a string that isn't a number gets converted to a number are
  in the code but disabled; they seem to be too picky in practice.
  Also, gawk will now warn about function parameter names that shadow
  global variable names.
- It is now possible to dynamically add builtin functions on systems
  that support dlopen. This facility is not (yet) as portable or well
  integrated as it might be.  *** WARNING *** THIS FEATURE WILL EVOLVE!
- Profiling has been added!  A separate version of gawk, named pgawk, is
  built and generates a run-time execution profile.  The --profile option
  can be used to change the default output file.   In regular gawk, this
  option pretty-prints the parse tree.
- Gawk has been internationalized, using GNU gettext.  Translations for
  future distributions are most welcome.
- New asort() function for sorting arrays.  See the doc for details.
- The match function takes an optional array third argument to hold
  the text matched by parenthesized sub-expressions.
- The bit op functions and octal and hex source code constants are on by
  default, no longer a configure-time option.  Recognition of non-decimal
  data is now enabled at runtime with --non-decimal-data command line option.
- Internationalization features available at the awk level: new TEXTDOMAIN
  variable and bindtextdomain() and dcgettext() functions. printf formats
  may contain the "%2$3.5d" kind of notation for use in translations.  See
  the texinfo manual for details.
- The return value from close() has been rationalized.  Most notably,
  closing something that wasn't open returns -1 but remains non-fatal.
- The array effeciency change from 3.0.5 was reverted; the semantics were
  not right.  Additionally, index values of previously stored elements
  can no longer change dynamically.
- The new option --dump-variables dumps a list of all global variables and
  their final types and values to a file you give, or to `awkvars.out'.
- Gawk now uses a recent version of random.c courtesy of the FreeBSD
  project.
- The gawk source code now uses ANSI C function definitions (new style),
  with ansi2knr to translate code for old compilers.
- `for (iggy in foo)' loops should be more robust now in the face of
   adding/deleting elements in the middle; they loop over just the elements
   that are present in the array when the loop starts.
