Yeah, I know this is jumping the gun and the answer is going to be "It's
ready when it's ready...", but still...

I am in the position of needing to compile up from source a version for a
machine I'm building, and I'd rather wait for the 4.1.4 release before
going ahead with it. I.e., so I don't feel like I will just have to do it
all over again when 4.1.4 is released.

So, any guesses as to ETA?

P.S. I suppose I could grab the current beta (4.1.3z or whatever it is),
but then again, that's got its own problems.

I hope very soon, like a week or so. No promises, of course.

Sounds great, thank you. Will the release contain the speed improvement for regular expressions mentioned in the 'mawk 2.0 beta' thread?

That change is in the 4.1 stable branch, so most likely yes.

Yes.
