5.0.7
This is version 5.0.7 of the shell. This is a stable release.
There are minor new features as well as bug fixes since 5.0.6.
Note in particular there is a security fix to disallow evaluation
of the initial values of integer variables imported from the
environment (they are instead treated as literal numbers). That
could allow local privilege escalation, under some specific and
atypical conditions where zsh is being invoked in privilege elevation
contexts when the environment has not been properly sanitized, such
as when zsh is invoked by sudo on systems where "env_reset" has
been disabled.
5.0.6
This is version 5.0.6 of the shell. This is a stable release.
There are minor new features as well as bug fixes since 5.0.5.
* Fix build on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 7.3
* Update MASTER_SITES
Changelog:
This is version 5.0.5 of the shell. This is a stable release.
There are minor new features as well as bug fixes since 5.0.2.
5.0.3 and 5.0.4 were short-lived releases with most of the features of
5.0.5 that were replaced owing to significant bugs.
Incompatibilities between 5.0.2 and 5.0.5
-----------------------------------------
The "zshaddhistory" hook mechanism documented in the zshmisc manual page
has been upgraded so that a hook returning status 2 causes a history
line to be saved on the internal history list but not written to the
history file. Previously any non-zero status return would cause
the line not to be saved on the history at all. It is recommended
to use status 1 for this (indeed most shell users would naturally do
so).
Patch it up to use compile-tests rather than run-tests in autoconf
for many of its tests (OS-independently). Teach it about the few
remaining properties for NetBSD in particular.

Changes since 5.0.0
-------------------
Numeric constants encountered in mathematical expressions (but not other
contexts) can contain underscores as separators that will be ignored on
evaluation, as allowed in other scripting languages. For example,
0xFFFF_FFFF, or 3.141_592_654.
"functions -T" turns on tracing for the specified function(s) only,
similar to "functions -t" except that tracing is turned off for any
functions called from the specified one(s) that don't also have the -t
or -T flag.
In file completion, the recursive-files style can be set to an array of
patterns to match against "$PWD/". In any matched location, it is
possibly to complete files in arbitrarily deep subdirectories without
needing to type the directory prefix. See example in the zshcompsys
manual.
The _user_expand completer now allows expansion functions in the
user-expand files to return a string in REPLY that will be used to name
the set of expansions returned.
* PLIST.xattr is moved to Makefile.common
* Patches are introduced from zsh-current
Tested on NetBSD 6.99.8 and 5.1.
Changelog:
* Many improvements.
