gawk-5.4.1

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Changes from 5.4.0 to 5.4.1

1. A performance problem in PMA with backing store files 1G or more in size has been fixed, by disabling assertions in support/pma.c.

2. A bug in gensub() when using MinRX has been fixed.

3. All files that referred to the FSF's old address have been revised.

4. After careful review of the POSIX standard and how MinRX handles matching when ignoring case, it was decided that the way it worked was already correct, even for cases where one character can have multiple alternative case variants. README_d/README.matchers has been updated, and several new tests for this issue have been added to the test suite.

5. Unary plus and minus now force their operands to be numeric.

6. The intdiv extension has been in the distribution for several years, but was lacking both a man page and a description in the manual. These flaws have been corrected.

7. The Georgian translation (ka.po) was accidentally disabled. It's now enabled, and also updated.

8. Parse time division by zero is no longer a fatal error, but rather a lint warning. Division by zero at runtime remains fatal.

9. Some subtle issues with respect to formatting numeric fields have been fixed.

10. The manual now states that contributions of code created by LLMs won't be accepted.

11. As usual, a number of small bugs have been fixed; see the ChangeLog for the details.
