Updated: zsh-4.3.2-1



A new cygwin release of zsh (zsh-4.3.2-1) is available.


NOTICE:
=======
This version has Multi-byte/Unicode support enabled in it.  This may or
may not present problems for existing scripts which assumed a prior
behaviour concerning multi-byte characters.  If this breaks too many
existing user scripts, then I will disable this behaviour in the next
build upon request.

This release will work with cygwin-1.5.18-1 or later.

- Note: 4.3.1 was never released for Cygwin because it was deemed to
  unstable for my liking in testing under Cygwin.


NEWS: ===== 4.3 is a major revision of zsh, branched from the 4.2 series. Much work has gone into supporting multi-byte/Unicode, as well as lots of other fixes.

This release includes the following:

- Multi-byte/Unicode support.
  This is the major change for this branch of zsh.  Please file bug
  reports as needed.

- Various base bug fixes and enhancements:
  Sorry, too numerous to list, see ChangeLog link below.

- Updated zprofile (based on profile v3.7-1)

- Fix to make rand48 random numbers usable on Cygwin.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login
shell and as a shell script command processor.  Of the standard shells,
zsh most closely resembles `ksh' but includes many enhancements.  Zsh has
command line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command
completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and
a host of other features.
