New features between zsh versions 4.0 and 4.2
Configuration:
* upgraded to use autoconf post-2.50
* improved compatibility with other shells through shell options, builtin
arguments and improved builtin option parsing
Syntax and builtins:
* new printf builtin
* `+=' to append to parameters which works for scalars, arrays and (with
pairs) associative arrays.
* enhanced multiple parameter `for' loops: for key value in key1 value1 key2
value2 ... maintaining full compatibility with POSIX syntax.
* Suffix aliases allow the shell to run a command on a file by suffix, e.g
`alias -s ps=gv' makes `foo.ps' execute `gv foo.ps'. Supplied function
zsh-mime-setup uses existing mailcap and mime.types files to set up suitable
aliases. Supplied function pick-web-browser is suitable for finding a browser
to show .html etc. files by suffix alias.
* new option `no_case_glob' for case-insensitive globbing.
Add-on modules and functions:
* zsh/datetime modules makes date formatting and seconds since EPOCH available
inside the shell.
* zsh/net/tcp module provides builtin interface to TCP through ztcp builtin.
Function suite for interactive and script use with expect-style pattern
matching.
* zsh/net/socket module provides zsocket builtin.
* zcalc calculator function with full line editing.
* builtin interface to pcre library
* zsh/zselect module provides zselect builtin as interface to select system call
Completion system:
* general improvements to command and context support, low-level functions,
display code.
* in verbose mode, matches with the same description are grouped
* highly configurable completions for values of specific parameters, specific
redirections for specific commands
* support for bash completion functions (typically zsh native functions are more
powerful where available)
* New completions provided for (some of these may be in later 4.0 releases):
valgrind, tidy, texinfo, infocmp, Java classes, larch, limit, locale
parameters, netcat, mysqldiff, mt, lsof, elinks, ant, debchange (dch), email
addresses, file system types, Perforce, xsltproc. Plus many others.
Line editor:
* special parameters $PREDISPLAY, $POSTDISPLAY available in function widgets
to configure uneditable text (for narrowing)
* recursive editing
* supplied widgets read-from-minibuffer, replace-string use these features
(more intuitive prompting and argument reading than 4.0)
* access to killed text via $CUTBUFFER and $killring
* supplied highly configurable word widgets forward-word-match etc., can set
what constitutes a word interactively or in startup script (implement
bash-style behaviour, replacing previous bash-* word widgets)
* interface to incremental search via $LASTSEARCH
* better handling of keymaps in zle and widgets
* better support for output from user-defined widgets while zle is active
* tetris game which runs entirely in zle
* several other contributed widgets
Local internal improvements:
* disowned jobs are automatically restarted
* \u and \U print escapes for Unicode
* read -d allows a custom line ending.
* read -t .
* line numbers in error messages and $PS4 output are more consistent
* `=prog' expands only paths, no longer aliases for consistency
* job display in prompts; `jobs' command output can be piped
* prompts: new $RPROMPT2, %^, %j, %y, enhanced %{, %}, %_.
* rand48() function in zsh/mathfunc for better randomness in arithmetic
(if the corresponding math library function is present)
* $SECONDS parameter can be made floating point via `typeset -F SECONDS'
for better timing accuracy
* improvements to command line history mechanism
* job table is dynamically sized, preventing overflow (typically seen
previously in complex completions).
* many bugfixes
Use INSTALL_TARGET to install info files: this gives a proper
environment for USE_NEW_TEXINFO framework to work.
Fix makeinfo invocation for zsh-current via patch file so that
only _one_ info file is generated as PLIST seems to want it.
Bug fix release for stable version as well as a few completion
improvements. Also includes more current MASTER_SITES.
PR21938 by Geoff Wing <gcw at primenet dot com dot au>.
Makefiles simply need to use this value often, for better or for
worse.
(2) Create a new variable FIX_RPATH that lists variables that should
be cleansed of -R or -rpath values if ${_USE_RPATH} is "no". By
default, FIX_RPATH contains LIBS, X11_LDFLAGS, and LDFLAGS, and
additional variables may be appended from package Makefiles.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
Bugfix release. Some added completion functions: e.g. rsync,
mozilla, some bash builtin functions.
From Geoff C. Wing, gcw at primenet dot com dot au in pkg/17946.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
This is a minor bug-fix release, though some new functions have been added:
_bts Completion for Debian BTS
_chflags Completion for chflags(1)
_links Completion for links web browser
_samba
_sysctl
_user_admin
bash-backward-kill-word
This is a maintenance release for the (stable) 4.0 branch. Most of the
changes are bug fixes, including a fix for a bug which caused the test
suite to fail. On fully supported systems, all tests should now pass.
There is one new feature: the option KSH_TYPESET provides compatibility
with other shells for assignment arguments of `typeset', `export' and
related builtins.

constant; adapted from Zefram, 8372, by Tatsuo Furukawa.
1999-10-24 Bart Schaefer <schaefer@zsh.org>
* Makefile.in: Don't bother trying to enumerate all the files in

the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
