CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF ZSH
-------------------------------------
New features in zsh version 4.0.1
---------------------------------
Compared with 3.1.9, there are mostly incremental improvements to
- the new completion system --- more functions, completers, styles...
- the line editor
- handling of signals and traps
- the configuration system, particularly for modules
- Cygwin support (now essentially complete)
- arithmetic evaluation
- the zpty (pseudoterminal handling) module
- the test suite
plus various bug fixes and compatibility improvements.
The alias modules (zle.so as an alias for zsh/zle.so, etc.) have been
removed; use `zmodload -A' to load modules under other names. This is
irrelevant if you are upgrading from 3.0.
Compared with the 3.0 series of releases (the last stable set), the most
significant of a large number of improvements in the shell are:
- Dynamically loadable modules with hierarchical naming system
- Shell functions as editor functions, with much additional builtin support
- Incredibly rich new completion system; just needs a single
initialization command to provide completion for all sorts of commands
and contexts
- Associative arrays
- Lots of new features in parameter substitution and globbing; more
logical handling of nested parameter substitutions
- Rewritten pattern-matching (globbing) code supports approximate
and case-insensitive matching and backreferences
- Various custom modules for pty's, FTP, special parameters, etc.
- Rewrites of many internal parts of the code: execution code to
provide compilation to internal representation, pattern matching
- Floating point arithmetic and mathematical functions module
- A test suite
- Various new options for compatibility with this, that and the other
See the 3.1.x changes below for more detail.
New features in zsh version 3.1.8 and 3.1.9

These are primarily bug-fix versions. There are only a few user-visible
