For details on what exactly changed, see the list of +incompatibilities in the README file. + +Support for named references and namespaces has been added, similar to +those features in ksh but with some notable differences. The `nameref` +builtin and some ksh-equivalent namespace names are available by loading +the zsh/ksh93 module. See the documentation of that module for more. + +Non-forking command substitutions with ${ ... } and ${| ... } are now +available, and the latter extended with ${|param| ... } to return the +result via assignment to the named param rather than always via $REPLY. + Changes since 5.8.1 ------------------- |
