NetBSD pkgsrc has a more recent version of mawk than stated in this report:
http://pkgsrc.se/lang/mawk 2019-02-15) Updated to version: mawk-1.3.4.20171017 MacPorts has the 2019-02-03 version: https://github.com/macports/macports- ports/blob/master/lang/mawk/Portfile The report as worded implies that none of the various packages are newer than "1.3.4" by omitting most of the details about patchlevel. In practice, the age of packages says more about the ported platform than the programs which are provided on that platform.
