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.
The changes from previous stable release (3.0.8) are almost 15,000
lines of changelog. (Not included here, see ChangeLog-3.1 in source
distribution).
Provided by Masao Uebayashi <uebayasi@soum.co.jp> in PR pkg/13113 with
some changes by me.
Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) which of the standard shells
most resembles the Korn shell (ksh), although it is not completely
compatible. It includes enhancements of many types, notably in the
command-line editor, options for customising its behaviour, filename
globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and
extra features drawn from tcsh (another `custom' shell).

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

Extract of CHANGES:
Bugfixes; command completion should now take half the stat(2)s it took
before; lots of changes to the POSIX mode; SSH2_CLIENT not auto-exported
any more (like SSH_CLIENT before); realpath builtin; 'set' without
options returns valid input, and lots others.
resolving a conflict with lang/scheme48. This should not cause any
(difficult) problems. Decrease no. of lines in DESCR to satisfy
`pkglint'. Bump up version number.
And retroactively say what is new in 6.10:

for here-documents. You should update tcsh if you are using it as a
