I've just promoted the test release gawk 4.1.4-3 to current. Per the discussion started in this thread in the cygwin mailing list: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00155.html especially the arguments given in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-02/msg00175.html this release removes all enforcing of text mode on input. Input from pipes is now treated binary-only, input from files follows the mount mode setting text/binary. Other than that, it's the same as 4.1.4-2.
