! 39: Nov 20, 2023:
1.54 millert 40: rewrite of fnematch to fix a number of issues, including

1.55 ! millert 45: Nov 15, 2023:
1.54 millert 46: Man page edit, regression test fixes. thanks to Arnold Robbins

49: gcc replaced with cc everywhere.
50:
1.53 millert 51: Oct 30, 2023:
52: multiple fixes and a minor code cleanup.
53: disabled utf-8 for non-multibyte locales, such as C or POSIX.
54: fixed a bad char * cast that causes incorrect results on big-endian
55: systems. also fixed an out-of-bounds read for empty CCL.
56: fixed a buffer overflow in substr with utf-8 strings.
57: many thanks to Todd C Miller.
58:
1.52 millert 59: Sep 24, 2023:
60: fnematch and getrune have been overhauled to solve issues around
61: unicode FS and RS. also fixed gsub null match issue with unicode.

63:
1.51 millert 64: Sep 12, 2023:

1.51 millert 71: [This entry is a summary, not a precise list of changes.]
1.46 millert 72:
1.51 millert 73: Added --csv option to enable processing of comma-separated
74: values inputs. When --csv is enabled, fields are separated
75: by commas, fields may be quoted with " double quotes, fields
76: may contain embedded newlines.
1.46 millert 77:
1.51 millert 78: If no explicit separator argument is provided, split() uses
79: the setting of --csv to determine how fields are split.
1.44 millert 80:
1.51 millert 81: Strings may now contain UTF-8 code points (not necessarily
82: characters). Functions that operate on characters, like
83: length, substr, index, match, etc., use UTF-8, so the length
84: of a string of 3 emojis is 3, not 12 as it would be if bytes
85: were counted.
1.43 millert 86:
1.51 millert 87: Regular expressions are processes as UTF-8.
1.6 kstailey 88:
1.51 millert 89: Unicode literals can be written as \u followed by one
90: to eight hexadecimal digits. These may appear in strings and
91: regular expressions.
