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
-rw-r--r-- 1 arnold arnold 1612448 Mar 28 22:03 gawk-4.0.1.tar.xz

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

Differences from gawk 4.0.0 are not available.

The usual GNU build incantation should be used:

	tar -xpvzf gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz
	cd gawk-4.0.1
	./configure && make && make check

Bug reports should be sent to bug-gawk@gnu.org.

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.
