I'm running into a problem with patterns in a case statement:

   % cat ad
   case John.Smith in
      John*|one) echo ok;;
      *) echo huh;;
   esac
   % /bin/sh ad
   ok
   % /bin/ksh ad
   ok
   % /tmp/zsh/zsh-3.0.5/Src/zsh ad
   ok
   % /tmp/zsh/zsh-3.1.2/Src/zsh ad
   ok
   % /tmp/zsh/zsh-3.1.3/Src/zsh ad
   huh
   % /usr/local/bin/zsh-3.1.5 ad
   huh
   % ln -s /usr/local/bin/zsh-3.1.5 /tmp/ksh
   % /tmp/ksh ad
   huh

Was this supposed to have changed between 3.1.2 and 3.1.3?

This is fixed by a patch from zsh-workers article 4595.

Thanks.  Unfortunately it wouldn't apply against 3.1.5, and I couldn't
find a way to patch it manually; it looks like there were too many other
changes since then.

I picked up the zsh-3.1.5-pws-11 archive from Peter's page, but I'm
curious when a new beta version (3.1.6?) might be released.  How does
that usually work?

It usually works pretty much the same way PWS's releases are working;
that is, after a number of patches have gone by and the new features are
close to stable, the archive maintainer makes a release.  Unfortunately
the archive maintainer changed jobs recently and hasn't been able to
make a new "official" beta.

When a new beta finally gets done, it will *probably* be essentially
identical to the most recent -pws-XX, because that's what the people
who are actively posting patches are using as a baseline.
