2025-10-19         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* configure.ac: Don't disable assertions anymore. They provide
	value, and on modern systems don't affect perormance.

2025-07-10         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* ordchr.c (do_ord): Revise to work like gawk does, returning 0xFFFD
	for bad multibyte conversions.

2025-06-29         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* ordchr.c (do_ord, do_chr): Revise to do multibyte / wide character
	conversions.  It's a Unicode world these days.

	* ordchr.3am: Updated.

2025-04-03         Eli Zaretskii  <[email protected]>

	* time.c (init_time): New function.  On MS-Windows, attempts to
	dynamically load GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime, which provides
	more accurate time, as opposed to GetSystemTimeAsFileTime whose
	precision is the basic 64Hz Windows clock.
	(do_gettimeofday) [HAVE_GETSYSTEMTIMEASFILETIME]: Use
	GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime if available.

2025-04-02         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

2024-01-20         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	sync is W.I.P.

2023-05-24         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* readdir.c (dir_can_take_file): Only check the stat buffer;

	change in gawk's iop.c:iop_alloc() function.

2023-02-09         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* readdir.c (dir_can_take_control_of): If ! HAVE_OPENDIR,

2022-06-06         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

2022-06-01         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c: Add ifdefs for MPFR in a few places that were
	missing. The extension wouldn't compile if HAVE_MPFR was

2022-04-05         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* testext.c (test_array_param): Init new_array to avoid

2021-12-10         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c (write_number): Update comment to reflect that we are

2021-12-10         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c (write_number, read_number): Reformat comments a bit.

2021-12-09         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c (write_number, read_number): Use
	mpfr_get_default_rounding_mode() instead of arbitrarily choosing
	MPFR_RNDN, taking advantage of the fact that core gawk maintains
	this using the ROUNDMODE global variable.

2021-12-08         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c: Fix valgrind complaints related to creating mpz and mpfr
	values on the stack in read_number by passing down storage from
	the calling function that loads the data into gawk.
	(value_storage): New union type to contain mpz_t or mpfr_t data.
	(read_global): Allocate value_storage on the stack and pass a pointer
	to read_elem.
	(read_array): Ditto.
	(read_elem): Receive new arg pointing to value_storage, and pass it
	down to read_value.
	(read_value): Receive new arg pointing to value_storage, and pass it
	down to read_number.
	(read_number): Receive new arg pointing to value_storage, and create
	mpz and mpfr variables using that storage instead of in the local
	scope.

2021-12-08         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c: Add new functions writeall and readall to implement
	persistent state.
	(write_backend): New helper function containing most of the logic
	from do_writea. Note that we do not need to check nargs < 2 because
	gawk will issue a fatal error if a function is called with fewer
	than min_required_args. Clean up some minor issues with error
	handling.
	(do_writea): Grab the array argument and use write_backend to
	do the rest of the work.
	(do_writeall): Lookup SYMTAB and invoke write_backend.
	(free_value): New function to free memory for data we end up ignoring
	because the variables exist already.
	(do_poke): Attempt to create variables that don't exist already or
	are undefined.
	(regular_array_handle): Wrapper around create_array.
	(global_array_handle): Call create_array unless the variable exists
	already and is an array with zero elements.
	(read_global): New function used by readall to load global variables
	from a file.
	(read_one): New function to read a single array from a file.
	(read_backend): New helper function containing most of the logic
	from do_reada. Remove the superfluous nargs check. Read the file
	prologue and then call read_global or read_one as appropriate to load
	the data.
	(do_reada): Grab the array argument and call read_backend with
	read_one to load the data.
	(do_readall): Call read_backend with read_global to load the data.
	(read_array): Call read_elem with additional arg regular_array_handle.
	(read_elem): Add a function argument controlling array creation to
	pass down to read_value.
	(read_value): Add a function argument to call for array creation
	instead of calling create_array directly, since we may need to use
	an existing array when populating global arrays in readall.
	(func_table): Add writeall and readall.
	* rwarray.3am: Document new functions writeall and readall.

2021-12-08         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* testext.c (test_array_create): New function to create an array
	by name that enables testing whether an undefined variable can
	be converted by the API into an array.
	(populate_array): New helper function.
	(fill_in_array): Use populate_array to fill in the elements.
	(func_table): Add test_array_create.

2021-12-08         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c (write_number): Since mpfr_fpif_export is experimental
	and not available in older versions of mpfr, add an ifdef to
	use mpfr_out_str instead.
	(read_number): Similarly, use mpfr_inp_str instead of
	mpfr_fpif_import.

2021-11-18         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* rwarray.c: Add support for writing/reading GMP and MPFR values.
	Rework usage of constants while we're at it and bump version
	numbers.

2021-11-07         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* rwarray0.c: Removed, it wasn't used.
	* Makefile.am: Updated.

2020-06-10         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	Miscellanious fixes from Michael Builov <[email protected]>.

	* gawkfts.c (fts_open): Fix memory leak: fts_sort() allocates
	sp->fts_array, but it's not freed if next fts_alloc() fails.
	(fts_build): Need to free "head" list before returning NULL
	on failure.
	* readdir.c (get_inode): On Windows handle leak: opened handle
	was not closed.
	* filefuncs.c (get_inode): On Windows handle leak: opened handle
	was not closed.
	(fill_stat_array): Correct the block size calculation.
	(init_filefuncs, do_fts): According to the documentation,
	setting the FTS_NOCHDIR flag should only disable the optimization of
	changing the current directory when scanning directories.
	However, setting this flag in the gawk script also included setting
	FTS_SKIP, which prevented recursive directory traversal. Fix this.
	* rwarray0.c (read_value): Result of read_array() is awk_bool_t,
	not error code. Fix the check.

2020-04-14         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	* 5.1.0: Release tar ball made.

2020-03-11         Arnold D. Robbins     <[email protected]>

	fatal error, which should be handled with BEGINFILE.

2019-10-16         Andrew J. Schorr      <[email protected]>

	* filefuncs.3am: Enhance the stat() documentation to explain that
