(eg 3.1.4 => [ 1:47AM] while 3.0.5 => [1:47AM]) The time formats in the prompts are now strftime(3) compatible, so the strftime sequence %l gives you the space to keep the string length constant. %L was added to give you the old behaviour. See PROMPT EXPANSION in the zshmisc manual page. Try changing the appropriate part of your prompt to %D{%L:%M%p} for 3.1.4. -- Peter Stephenson Tel: +39 50 844536 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Gruppo Teorico, Dipartimento di Fisica Piazza Torricelli 2, 56100 Pisa, Italy
