Version 1.4.10 - 09 Jul 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.9c) * Upgrade from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3 or later. * A number of portability improvements inherited from gnulib. * Avoid undefined behavior introduced in 1.4.9b in the `format' builtin when handling %c. However, this area of code has never been documented, and currently does not match the POSIX behavior of printf(1), so it may have further changes in the next version. Version 1.4.9b - 29 May 2007, by Eric Blake (CVS version 1.4.9a) * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.9 in the `eval' builtin when performing division. * Fix regression introduced in 1.4.8 in the `-F' option that made it impossible to freeze more than 512 kibibytes of diverted text. * The synclines option `-s' no longer generates sync lines in the middle of multiline comments or quoted strings. * Work around a number of corner-case POSIX compliance bugs in various broken stdio libraries. In particular, the `syscmd' builtin behaves more predictably when stdin is seekable. * The `format' builtin now understands formats such as %a, %A, and %'hhd, and works around a number of platform printf bugs. Furthermore, the sequence format(%*.*d,-1,-1,1) no longer outputs random data. However, some non-compliant platforms such as mingw still have known bugs in strtod that may cause testsuite failures. * The testsuite is improved to also run gnulib portability tests for the features that M4 imports from gnulib.
