Version 4.2.2 of zsh released

Version 4.2.2 of zsh released

[Peter Stephenson]

I've uploaded version 4.2.2 to ftp.zsh.org.  Please try it out on as
many systems as possible before I upload it to Sourceforge and announce
it on Freshmeat.  It would be especially good if someone could confirm
that there are now no problems on Cygwin.

There are lots of bug fixes and completion enhancements since 4.2.1,
only a few minor new features.

FWIW, it's too late to get this into Solaris 10.  It will ship with 4.2.1
plus a handful of patches.  I expect to make 4.2.2 available in S10 update
1, along with some (basic) completion functions for S10 functionality which
I'll push here first.

As a general thing, is it useful to people here to try to have the latest
zsh incorporated into Solaris, given the time lag between when I can put it
in and when it actually gets released (even Solaris Express releases can be
more than a month after the gates close)?  Do people just tend to ignore
the installed zsh and build their own or grab a package from blastwave or
other such service?

Thanks,
Danek

I ignore the installed zsh when it's 3.0.8.  4.2.1 would be a big
improvement.

I build my own when I can but all to often, I don't have the option. I'm
often working briefly on client machines and to have zsh already
installed there is a great help. Even 3.0 is better than struggling with
ksh. If you can get 4.2.1 into Solaris 10, that'll be really fantastic.
Just a pity it'll be a while before they upgrade from Solaris 8 here.
