It doesn't support multibyte character sets; apart from that the changes
are mostly fairly random.  "Changes between 4.2 and 5.0.0" in the
current NEWS file gives you most of it.

Hi is it possible that I don't have all the extensions? e.g. pcre do I have 
to do anthing special to get them? Does zsh always come with all its 
extensions?

Are you sure? The 4.2.1 that comes with Solaris 10 has it.

Did you perhaps try it before there was much in the directory stack.
Perhaps you didn't have your usual configuration and forgot that it
includes a setopt autopushd

I tend to use ~+ because it works from any command.
