+1. Gawk no longer builds an x86_64 executable on M1 macOS systems.
+ This means that PMA is unavailable on those systems.
+
+2. Gawk will now diagnose if a heap file was created with a different
+ setting of -M/--bignum than in the current invocation and exit with
+ a fatal message if so.
+
+3. Gawk no longer "leaks" its free list of NODEs in the heap file, resulting
+ in much more efficient usage of persistent storage.
