I would have put it into one if I could have thought of one. And, yes, 
I'm pretty sure that this is compiler-specific (the gcc here is the
one that was delivered on the DEC-CD-Rom, btw).

Is there a suitable #ifdef for this?  Presuambly it's also
compiler-specific.

Under DU 4.0 with gcc-2.8.1 I get a SEGV in a piece of completely
correct C-code in bin_read(). I can work around this by using the
patch below -- which, of course, is completely silly.

Dunno if this should be included, but the SEGV is deadly: it fails on
e.g. the read in compinit.

Better now :-)
Well, perhaps I have a bit more time for playing around with all these
new nice features later this week... if I encounter any bugs then, I'll
send them to the zsh-workers list.

CU,
Thomas

Ouch, that's because they didn't get added to .distfiles so didn't appear
in the distribution.  I've put them in for next time.

For now you can get the missing manuals from

http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zshcompsys.1
http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zshcompwid.1
http://www.ifh.de/~pws/computing/zshzftpsys.1

or the files Doc/Zsh/compsys.yo, Doc/Zsh/compwid.yo and Doc/Zsh/zftpsys.yo
are fairly readable in their raw forms.

Just did a "./configure ; make ; make install" on a Debian GNU/Linux
box, but I can't find "zshcompsys.1" anywhere...

I tried this:
for file in zsh.1 zshbuiltins.1 zshcompctl.1 zshcompwid.1 zshcompsys.1 \
zshexpn.1 zshmisc.1 zshmodules.1 zshoptions.1 zshparam.1 zshzftpsys.1 \
zshzle.1 zshall.1; do
   if test -f "Doc/$file" ; then 
      echo $file exists
   else
      echo $file does not exist
   fi
done

(the filelist is taken from "make -n install.man")
This resulted in this:
zsh.1 exists
zshbuiltins.1 exists
zshcompctl.1 exists
zshcompwid.1 does not exist
zshcompsys.1 does not exist
zshexpn.1 exists
zshmisc.1 exists
zshmodules.1 exists
zshoptions.1 exists
zshparam.1 exists
zshzftpsys.1 does not exist
zshzle.1 exists
zshall.1 exists

Where can I find the documentation I want?

Thomas

Test version zsh-3.1.6-test-1

[Peter Stephenson]

I have uploaded a test version of the next zsh beta release, 3.1.6-test-1,
to ftp.zsh.org, from where it should propagate to the mirror sites (see
end).  The file is in the testing subdirectory,
testing/zsh-3.1.6-test-1.tar.gz . Manual pages are included, but no texinfo
etc.

-rw-r--r--  1 mason  zsh  1251180 Jul 13 00:57 zsh-3.1.6-test-1.tar.gz

I'm posting this to zsh-users, since after months of development versions
there may be people who want to try this out before 3.1.6 proper; the notes
below are a very brief guide of what awaits you in upgrading from 3.1.5
(though a full upgrade should await 3.1.6 proper).

Much of the new code is fairly well tested, so my main interest now is to
sort out compilation problems for systems we may not have tried.  In
particular, it would be helpful if anyone compiling this (including regular
zsh-workers) could check against the notes for their configuration in
Etc/MACHINES, and drop a note to zsh-workers@sunsite.auc.dk about anything
different, i.e. successful compilations on configurations not mentioned at
all, or problems not mentioned for configurations which are supposed to
work, or problems which seem to have been exaggerated --- don't assume we
know anything machine-specific which isn't in Etc/MACHINES.

New features are listed in Etc/NEWS.  The most important change is a new
system for completion based on shell functions; see the zshcompsys manual
pages for the ready-to-use system.  Functions will now be installed by
`make install' and fpath set to find these by default (though they are not
autoloaded by default).  The old completion system is still supposed to
work, and has been less tested recently, so please do report problems with
this.

Note also that dynamic loading is now enabled by default, so (unless it is
not supported on your system, or you use --disable-dynamic) you will need
to make sure the libraries are installed properly by making sure configure
has a sensible --prefix or --exec-prefix.  Dynamic loading should now work
on AIX 3 and HPUX 10; again, please report limitations not yet mentioned in
Etc/MACHINES.  Other configuration changes are supposed to be transparent.
