+1. If not in POSIX mode, changes to ENVIRON are reflected into
+   gawk's environment, affecting any programs run by system()
+   or for piped redirections.
+
+2. The series of numbers returned by rand() should now be "more
+   random" than previously.  Gawk's rand() remains repeatable; you will
+   get the same series of numbers each time you call rand() repeatedly,
+   but this will be a different series than previously.

 5. The debugger now lists source code correctly under Cygwin.
 
-XXX. A number of bugs have been fixed. See the ChangeLog.
+6. Configuration and building with the Mac OS X libreadline should work now.
+
+7. The -O option now works again.
+
+8. The --include option, documented since 4.0, now actually works.
+
+9. Infrastructure updated to automake 1.13.4, bison 3.0.2, and
+   libtool 2.4.2.418.
+
+10. The configure script now accepts a --disable-extensions option,
+    which disables checking for and building the extensions.
+
+11. The VMS port has been considerably improved. In particular config.h
+    is now generated by a DCL script. Also, the extension facility works
+    and several of the extensions can be built and used. Currently, the
+    extension facility only works on Alpha and Itanium.
+
+12. The API now provides functions pointers for malloc(), calloc(),
+    realloc() and free(), to insure that the same memory allocation
+    functions are always used. This bumps the minor version by one.
+
+13. The printf quote flag now works correctly in locales with a different
+    decimal point character but without a thousands separator character.
+    If the thousands separator is a string, it will be correctly added
+    to decimal numbers.
+
+14. The readfile extension now has an input parser that will read whole
+    files as a single record.
+
+15. A number of bugs have been fixed. See the ChangeLog.
