4.3.12 almost released

4.3.12 almost released

[Peter Stephenson]

Version 4.3.12 has landed on ftp.zsh.org.

ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh-4.3.12.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh-4.3.12.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh-4.3.12-doc.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/zsh-4.3.12-doc.tar.bz2

It would be good if a few people could do a full sanity check before I
announce it properly.

Thanks

Running it on Cygwin now since yesterday. The only (old) problem is that 
make install-strip tries to create hardlinks (zsh.new, zsh.old) which 
are not supported (and for some time not emulated anymore by Cygwin) on 
FAT32 file systems (I have a "portable" setup on a thumb drive).

Building on cygwin shows config and make run well.

$ make check 
however fails in the following way.  Which I assume is a cygwin specific problem or lack of functionality.


Perhaps some or all of these are due to the the below comment:

Not sure this is reassuring, but the problems you've seen --- with
<(...) substitutions and with zpty --- are certainly the places where
it's been difficult to get cygwin to play ball in the past.
<(...) has been rather frustrating as there seem to be implementations
that work on one or other version of Cygwin, but not on all, and with
no easy way of telling which is which.

Cygwin specific features don't get that much love and attention:
Peter Castro looks if he has time but I don't think he's had much
recently.
