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.
New version has been built by Stepan Kasal, closing the bug.
