  log: "Update to 5.0.0\n\nChangelog:\nChanges from 4.2.1 to 5.0.0\n---------------------------\n\n1.
    Support for the POSIX standard %a and %A printf formats has been added.\n\n2.
    The test infrastructure has been greatly improved, simplifying the\n   contents
    of test/Makefile.am and making it possible to generate\n   pc/Makefile.tst from
    test/Makefile.in.\n\n3. The regex routines have been replaced with those from
    GNULIB, allowing\n   me to stop carrying forward decades of changes against the
    original\n   ones from GLIBC.\n\n4. Infrastructure upgrades: Bison 3.3, Automake
    1.16.1, Gettext 0.19.8.1,\n   makeinfo 6.5.\n\n5. The undocumented configure option
    and code that enabled the use of\n   non-English \"letters\" in identifiers is
    now gone.\n\n6. The `--with-whiny-user-strftime' configuration option is now gone.\n\n7.
    The code now makes some stronger assumptions about a C99 environment.\n\n8. PROCINFO[\"platform\"]
    yields a string indicating the platform for\n   which gawk was compiled.\n\n9.
    Writing to elements of SYMTAB that are not variable names now\n   causes a fatal
    error. THIS CHANGES BEHAVIOR.\n\n10. Comment handling in the pretty-printer has
    been reworked almost completely\n    from scratch. As a result, comments in many
    corner cases that were\n    previously lost are now included in the formatted
    output.\n\n11. Namespaces have been implemented! See the manual.  One consequence
    of this\n    is that files included with -i, read with -f, and command line program\n
    \   segments must all be self-contained syntactic units. E.g., you can no\n    longer
    do something like this:\n\n   \tgawk -e 'BEGIN {' -e 'print \"hello\" }'\n\n12.
    Gawk now uses the locale settings for ignoring case in single byte\n    locales,
    instead of hardwiring in Latin-1.\n\n13. A number of bugs, some of them quite
    significant, have been fixed.\n    See the ChangeLog for details.\n"
