A notable change is:
1. This release now uses Mike Haertel's MinRX regular expression matcher
as the default regexp engine. The old regex and dfa engines are still
available.
The former regex matcher is selectable at run-time by setting the environemnt
variable:
GAWK_GNU_MATCHERS
More details are available here:

Switch the tarball from .gz to .xz to reduce size by ~3MB.
No ptests errors for x86-64 for glibc/musl.
