Parsing change between 3.0.2 and 3.0.4?

Parsing change between 3.0.2 and 3.0.4?

[Josef Sachs]

Was there some change in parsing between 3.0.2 and 3.0.4 that causes me
to get this error message:
parse error near `\n'
when sourcing a file containing this:
[ "${(M)TERM#xterm}" = xterm ] && \
  {stty -istrip -ixon ; function chpwd {print -Pn "\e]2;%m: $PWD\C-g"}}

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there were some brace related changes since 3.0.2 since
IGNORE_BRACES did not work properly in some cases.  Now the closing brace
has to be followed by a blank or one of ; | &

[ "${(M)TERM#xterm}" = xterm ] && \
  {stty -istrip -ixon ; function chpwd {print -Pn "\e]2;%m: $PWD\C-g"} }

But the proper syntax required by POSIX is

[ "${(M)TERM#xterm}" = xterm ] && \
  { stty -istrip -ixon ; function chpwd {print -Pn "\e]2;%m: $PWD\C-g";};}

That works even if IGNORE_BRACES is set.  I'd strongly recommend using
this syntax.
