You have to give the --enable-dynamic option to configure if you want to try dynamic loading. This will compile zle and the compctl builtin into a loadable module. You have do `make install.modules' before starting zsh otherwise it will be unable to find the zle module. If zsh complains about unresolved symbol upon startup, try to add the line comp1 to Src/modules-bltin and recompile zsh. Dynamic loading is only tested on Linux-elf, Solaris-2.5.1 and SunOS 4. On SunOS 4. On SunOS 4 zsh only works after adding the above mentioned comp1 line to Src/modules-bltin. Modules can be loaded with the zmodload builtin. Two new modules are provided: a files module containing rm, rmdir, mkdir, ln, mv and sync builtins, and the clone module which can be used to clone zsh on a new terminal. For example on Linux the clone /dev/tty2 command duplicates zsh on the second virtual terminal (of course that only works if there are no other processes using the same terminal). The other big change is the new documentation format. Thanks to Andrew Main the complete zsh documentation is now written in yodl. Yodl is a document language somewhat similar SGML which can generate the nroff manpages and the texinfo manual from the same source. The precompiled nroff and texinfo manuals are included in the distribution but if you would like to add something, you need to get yodl-1.14 (earlier versions had some serious bugs). Yodl is available from ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ and from the sinsite Linux arcives. The latest production release is still zsh-3.0.2 which have some known serious bugs. Zsh-3.0.3 will be released soon. A test release is available as a patch to zsh-3.0.2 in testing/zsh-3.0.3-test4.diff.gz on the ftp sites. The latest release, the zsh FAQ and documentation is available from 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 marked with a star may mirror ftp.math.gatech.edu instead of the primary site.
