 hit for anyone not using PINE.  The previous default can be restored with:
   zstyle ':completion:*' pine-directory ~/mail
 
+The completion style fake-files now allows patterns as directories,
+for example the value '/home/*:.snapshot' is now valid.  This will
+only cause problems in the unlikely event that a directory in the style
+has a pattern character in it.
+
+The default maximum function depth (configurable with
+--enable-max-function-depth) has been decreased to 1000 from 4096.  The
+previous value was observed to be large enough that crashes still occurred
+on some fairly common PC configurations.  This change is only likely to
+affect some highly specialised uses of the shell.
+
+The variables HISTCHARS and histchars now reject any attempt to
+set non-ASCII characters for history or comments.  Multibyte characters
+have never worked and the most consistent change was to restrict the
+set to portable characters only.
