+Possibile incompatibilities
+---------------------------
+
+If you have been using recent versions of zsh 3.1, the following changes in
+the shell may affect you:
+- The traditional bindings of \M-n (history-search-backward) and
+  \M-p (history-search-forward) in older versions of zsh have returned,
+  as has the traditional behaviour of those functions and the functions
+  up-line-or-search and down-line-or-search.  In 3.1.5, the functions
+  behaved differently and \M-n and \M-p were bound by default to
+  history-beginning-search-backward and history-beginning-search-forward.
+- Prompt truncation behaviour via %<...< and %>...> (or %[<...] etc.) has
+  changed slightly:  the string to be truncated runs to the end of the
+  prompt or to the next truncation sequence; %<< will turn off truncation.
+  Previously it only covered individual prompt escapes.  So for example the
+  prompt `%10<...<%~%% ' will now include the `%% ' in the string to be
+  truncated, and you should change the prompt to `%10<...<%~%<<%% ' to turn
+  off truncation immediately after the `%~'.
+- If for some reason you have `setopt norcs' or `unsetopt rcs' anywhere in
+  your startup files (e.g. to stop .zlogout being run), this will now
+  take effect immediately, preventing later startup files from being
+  run.  It is safe to put `setopt norcs' in .zlogin as this is always
+  the last run.
+
+See the FAQ for a discussion of changes over the longer term.
