This file lists all bug fixes, changes, etc., made since the 
second edition of the AWK book was published in September 2023.

Sep 24, 2023:
	fnematch and getrune have been overhauled to solve issues around
	unicode FS and RS. also fixed gsub null match issue with unicode.
	big thanks to Arnold Robbins.

Sep 12, 2023:
	Fixed a length error in u8_byte2char that set RSTART to
	incorrect (cannot happen) value for EOL match(str, /$/).


-----------------------------------------------------------------

[This entry is a summary, not a precise list of changes.]

	Added --csv option to enable processing of comma-separated
	values inputs.  When --csv is enabled, fields are separated
	by commas, fields may be quoted with " double quotes, fields
	may contain embedded newlines.

	If no explicit separator argument is provided, split() uses
	the setting of --csv to determine how fields are split.

	Strings may now contain UTF-8 code points (not necessarily
	characters).  Functions that operate on characters, like
	length, substr, index, match, etc., use UTF-8, so the length
	of a string of 3 emojis is 3, not 12 as it would be if bytes
	were counted.

	Regular expressions are processes as UTF-8.

	Unicode literals can be written as \u followed by one
	to eight hexadecimal digits.  These may appear in strings and
	regular expressions.
