Greetings all.
This note announces the next minor release of GNU Awk: version 4.0.1.
The following files may be retrieved from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk,
or via HTTP from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk:
-rw-r--r-- 1 arnold arnold 2680974 Mar 28 22:03 gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz

This is a bug fix release. The relevant part of the NEWS file is
appended below.

The usual GNU build incantation should be used:
tar -xpvzf gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz
cd gawk-4.0.1

Bug reports should be sent to address@hidden
Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1
---------------------------
1. The default handling of backslash in sub() and gsub() has been reverted to
the behavior of 3.1. It was silly to think I could break compatibility that
way, even for standards compliance.
2. Completed the implementation of Rational Range Interpretation.
3. Failure to get the group set is no longer a fatal error.
4. Lots of minor bugs fixed and portability clean-ups along the way. See
the ChangeLog for details.
