Previously, colons were escaped with a backslash but +backslashes were not themselves escaped with a backslash, which lead to +ambiguity: if the -x option took two arguments (as in + _arguments : -x:foo:${action}:bar:$action +), it would be impossible to tell from $opt_args whether the command-line +was '-x foo\:bar' or '-x foo\\ bar'. + Incompatibilities between 5.0.8 and 5.2 --------------------------------------- |
