There is one important change which is not really a bugfix: !, [[, { and } are reserved words now. This means no noticeable change in case of ! but the others should now be delimited from the adjacent words. For example {echo} used to work but now one has to use { echo } instead. Also [[-z $foo]] worked before to check wether $foo is empty but now [[ -z $foo ]] must be used. I hope that it will not break many scripts. I also updated the Etc/CONTRIBUTORS file. Comments about that are welcome. The texinfo manual is now almost up-to-date. It still does not contains the above mentioned reserved word change. Also I made the description of the grammar of compound commands in zshmisc.man more precise which is not yet refrected in the texinfo documentation. I'm going to a summer scholl now and I'll not read E-mail until thursday evening. The network card of our primary nameserver stopped working last night (in fact that happened with three different SUN machines here). The secondary nameservers should still work. Unfortunately all the three system administrators will be away until thursday. Just in case the symbolic address does not work, the numeric IP address of the zsh ftp site is 157.181.6.125. You may also try the mirror sites. See the ChangeLog for the full list of the changes. The new release can be found on the following anonymous ftp sites. The first is the official archive site. The rest are mirror sites which are kept frequently up to date. The sites maked with a star may mirror ftp.math.gatech.edu instead of the primary site.
