[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: gawk-4.1.4-3

[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: gawk-4.1.4-3

[Corinna Vinschen]

I've just uploaded the TEST release gawk 4.1.4-3.

Per the discussion started in this thread in the cygwin mailing list:

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00155.html

especially the arguments given in

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00175.html

this TEST release removes all enforcing of text mode on input.
Input from pipes is now treated binary-only, input from files
follows the mount mode setting text/binary.

Other than that, it's the same as 4.1.4-2.

Please test.


Thanks,
Corinna

Works great, thanks.

    $ printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk 1 | od -tcx1
    0000000   h   e   l   l   o       w   o   r   l   d  \r  \n
             68  65  6c  6c  6f  20  77  6f  72  6c  64  0d  0a


Ironically, Awk is now a portable way to convert line endings, as d2u is not
portable:

    printf 'hello world\r\n' | awk '{sub("\r", "")} 1'
    printf 'hello world\n' | awk '{sub(/$/, "\r")} 1'
