For example, several functions now properly use the numeric prefix that had previously ignored it. Also, the majority of the differences in zle_hist.c was from a unification of the upline/downline code into separate functions so that the formerly-duplicated code would not continue to diverge (it was inconsistent in one case, I believe). > what's going to happen when somebody with this option set fires up > a new zsh and it loads his existing old-format .zhistory? The new code is smart enough to treat a finish length that is >= the start time as the old format. This should be OK, since I don't believe that people will be running a program continuously for over 29 years. Going back from a new shell with this new EXTENDED_HISTORY format to an old shell without it can cause the finish times to read in as very early dates, but I wasn't particularly concerned about this. Do you feel differently? ..wayne..
