Other releases
Release Notes: Networking features introduced in Gawk 3.1.0 are now supported by Awka (causing change of license to GPL), and several other new Gawk functions have been added. A new and much improved hashing method has been adopted for arrays, Regular Expressions will execute a little quicker, and where possible Awka will track the datatype of variables to optimise performance.
Release Notes: Some problems with compiling on some platforms have been fixed, as have difficulties running the test suite. FIELDWIDTHS will no longer affect the split() function, and there's a speed boost for execution of simple regular expressions.
Release Notes: Cleanups for a six-month backlog of bug reports, and addition of several missing features required by the Posix standard such as 'next' within functions and 'var=value' from the commandline.
Release Notes: Awka supports calls to external C functions as if they were built-in to the language, so you are no longer restricted to the functions that AWK provides. The libawka API has been documented, and a walk-through guide prepared to help developers get started.
Release Notes: This is a beta release. It's not yet stable enough for general use, but its on the way.
