Subject: PATCH: Add NEWS entry for array zipping operators.
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 06:25:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407817507-10949-1-git-send-email-mikachu@gmail.com> (raw)

Here's the blurb for :^ and :^^. I noticed that previous news entries
have an indented bullet format but the latest section doesn't, does
anyone care either way?

 extensions to strftime() formats rather than basic prompt escapes.)
 
+The operators :^ and :^^ in parameter substitution allow for array
+zipping in the form ${name:^array}. With the :^ operator, all entries
+in $name and $array will be output in alternating order with the
+longer array trimmed, whereas the :^^ operator repeats the shorter
+array enough to match the longer array.
