	* NEWS: Updated.

2020-05-06         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	Add lint check for string + string. It's not concatenation
	in awk, but is in most other languages. Thanks to Roland Illig
	<roland.illig@gmx.de> for the suggestion.

	* awk.h (Op_lint_plus): New opcode.
	* awkgram.y (mk_binary): Add it into the list in the right place
	if do_lint.
	* eval.c (optypes): Add case for Op_lint_plus.
	* interpret.h (r_interpret): Ditto.

2020-04-10         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	* field.c (save_FPAT): New global variable.
	(get_field): Check if using FPAT or not in order to pass in
	the right variables to parse_field function.  Fixes bug in
	delayed field parsing when using FPAT.  Thanks to
	luciole75w <luciole75w@gmail.com> for the bug report.
	(set_FPAT): Use global save_FPAT instead of local save_fpat.

	Unrelated:

	* awkgram.c, command.c: Rebuild with Bison 3.5.4.
	* NEWS: Updated.

	Unrelated:

2020-04-02         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	whitespace, don't set a null field at the end. Thanks to
	Ed Morton <mortoneccc@comcast.net> for the report.

2020-03-18         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

2020-03-09         Andrew J. Schorr      <aschorr@telemetry-investments.com>

	* array.c (sort_up_value_string): If either arg is not a Node_val,
	call out to sort_up_value_type instead. If cmp_strings returns zero,
	fall back to sort_up_index_string as a tie-breaker.
	(sort_up_value_number): If either arg is not a Node_val, call out to
	sort_up_value_type instead. If cmp_strings returns zero, fall back
	to sort_up_index_string as a tie-breaker.
	(do_sort_up_value_type): Renamed from sort_up_value_type with one
	change: if both arguments have type Node_var, we compare the
	var_value NODEs instead.
	(sort_up_value_type): New wrapper function around do_sort_up_value_type
	to fall back to sort_up_index_string as a tie-breaker.

	* Makefile.am: Replace AM_MAKEFLAGS with AM_CFLAGS and AM_LDFLAGS.
	Put pc/Makefile.tst into BUILT_SOURCES, instead of in dist-hook.
	Add $(srcdir) to rules for the yacc files. Use AM_LDFLAGS in
	the efence rule.
	* configure.ac: Use GAWK_CANONICAL_HOST instead of AC_CANONICAL_HOST;
	this supplies MSYS2 support. Remove use of EXEEXT.

	to not force the result to be a const char *.

2020-01-26         Andrew J. Schorr      <aschorr@telemetry-investments.com>

	* array.c (sort_up_value_type): Small efficiency tweak. Only

	* array.c (sort_up_value_type): Handle other types of nodes,
	in case someone applies PROCINFO["sorted_in"] to SYMTAB or
	FUNCTAB. This threw an assertion error if assertions were
	enabled. Thanks to John Namam <Gawer@703n.com> for the report.
	(asort_actual): Disallow SYMTAB and FUNCTAB as first arguments.
	* TODO: Note that we should should eventually allow SYMTAB/FUNCTAB
	passed to asort/asaorti if a destination array is provided. (The
	current code breaks right now.)

2020-01-19         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	* profile.c (pp_top): New macro.

	(getblock, freeblock): When MEMDEBUG is defined, replace these
	macros with calls to new functions r_getblock and r_freeblock.
	* node.c (r_getblock, r_freeblock): New functions that simply
	use malloc and free when MEMDEBUG is defined.

2019-08-29         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	Restore a modified version of the change of
	2016-05-03, which used realloc to shrink the buffer.

	Revert a6df7afc605079df7d85318846a522ef64aaa44d, change of
	2016-05-03, which used realloc to shrink the buffer, in an
	attempt to save memory.  In actuality, it could cause increased
	memory usage, even though there was no memory leak. See
	https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gawk/2019-08/msg00003.html
	and the rest of thread for more detail.

	* builtin.c (format_tree): Don't use realloc, just call

2019-07-23         Andrew J. Schorr      <aschorr@telemetry-investments.com>

	Fix reporting of negative arguments for and(), or() and xor().
	Thanks to Koichi Murase <myoga.murase@gmail.com> for the
	report.

	* builtin.c (do_and): Use nargs instead of i in the loop to
	check for non-numeric and negative arguments.
	(do_or): Ditto.
	(do_xor): Ditto.

2019-07-23         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>

	the version number should be bumped whenever the struct is altered
	in any way.

2019-06-30         Arnold D. Robbins     <arnold@skeeve.com>
