From 93316f3cc366e182a0701f510d5fd4b611710e96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: uebayasi Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 13:23:39 +0000 Subject: Note (re)addition of Zsh 4.3.2, first public release of 4.3.x branch. Major changes between versions 4.2 and 4.3 ------------------------------------------ - There is support for multibyte character sets in the line editor, though not the main shell. See Multibyte Character Support in INSTALL. - The shell can now run an installation function for a new user (one with no .zshrc, .zshenv, .zprofile or .zlogin file) without any additional setting up by the administrator. - The manual now has a Roadmap section (manual page zshroadmap) to give new users an indication of the most interesting parts of the manual. - New option PROMPT_SP, on by default, to work around the problem that the line editor can overwrite output with no newline at the end. - New option HIST_SAVE_BY_COPY (on by default): history is saved by copying and renaming instead of directly overwriting. - New redirection syntax e.g. {myfd}>file opens a new file descriptor and stores the number in $myfd, so that >&$myfd will work. Chosen not to break existing code (and to be compatible with proposals for the Korn shell). - Substitutions of the form ${var:-"$@"}, ${var:+"$@"} and similar where word-splitting is applied to the text after the :- or :+ (in particular, where the SH_WORD_SPLIT option is in effect for compatibility) now behave as in other Bourne- and POSIX-compatible shells when in the appropriate emulation mode. - New Posix-style zsh-specific tests [[:IDENT:]], [[:IFS:]], [[:IFSSPACE:]], [[:WORD:]] test if character can appear in identifier, is an IFS character, is an IFS whitespace character, or is considered as part of a word (is alphanumeric or appears in $WORDCHARS). Note the pattern code doesn't yet handle multibyte characters. - The idiom =(<<<...) is optimised so that the shell internally turns the ... into the contents of a file whose name is then substituted. - Supplied functions catch and throw provide limited support for exception handling using the `{ ... } always { ... }' syntax. - Signals now accept the SIG as part of the name for compatibility with other shells. - Editor function argument-base allows non-decimal arguments for editor widgets. - As always, there are many enhancements to completion functions. --- doc/CHANGES | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/CHANGES b/doc/CHANGES index 1a1f6799883..38dc0c2946d 100644 --- a/doc/CHANGES +++ b/doc/CHANGES @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -$NetBSD: CHANGES,v 1.13258 2006/03/11 13:17:48 taca Exp $ +$NetBSD: CHANGES,v 1.13259 2006/03/11 13:23:39 uebayasi Exp $ Changes to the packages collection and infrastructure in 2006: @@ -1443,3 +1443,4 @@ Changes to the packages collection and infrastructure in 2006: Updated textproc/ja-sed to 3.02nb2 [wiz 2006-03-11] Updated textproc/ja-grep to 2.4.2 [wiz 2006-03-11] Updated www/squid to 2.5.12nb7 [taca 2006-03-11] + Added shells/zsh-current version 4.3.2 [uebayasi 2006-03-11] -- cgit v1.2.3
