Source: gawk Version: 1:5.2.1-2 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: car...@debian.org
Hi Adrian, If your time allows it, can you package gawk/5.3.0 for unstable? According to the announce: Changes from 5.2.x to 5.3.0 --------------------------- 1. Infrastructure changes: Removed the use of libsigsegv. The value-add was never very much and it caused problems in some environments. 2. In keeping with new features in BWK awk, gawk now has built-in CSV file parsing. The behavior is intended to be identical to that of the "One True AWK" when --csv is applied. See the manual for details. 3. Also in keeping with BWK awk, gawk now supports a new \u escape sequence. This should be followed by 1-8 hexadecimal digits. The given code point is converted to its corresponding multibyte encoding for storage inside gawk. See the manual. 4. If PROCINFO["BUFFERPIPE"] exists, then pipe output is buffered. You can also use PROCINFO["command", "BUFFERPIPE"]. See the manual for details. 5. Because of the additional `do_csv' variable in the API, which breaks binary compatibility, the API major version was updated to 4 and the minor version was reset to zero. The API remains source code compatible; that is, existing extensions should only require recompilation. 6. The manual now requires Texinfo 7.1 and its texinfo.tex for formatting. As a result, we no longer need to pre-process it, removing the need for gawktexi.in and leaving just gawk.texi. 7. And of course, there have been several minor code cleanups and bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details. Changes from 5.2.2 to 5.2.x --------------------------- 1. The readdir extension has been updated with additonal code and features, see the manual or its man page. As a result, the readdir_test.c extension has been removed. 2. We have a new translation: Ukranian. 3. Several subtle issues related to null regexp matches around multibyte characters have been fixed. Regards, Salvatore
