+Changes since 5.9
+-----------------
+
+Handling of ERR_EXIT is corrected when the final status of a structured
+command (for, select, while, repeat, if, case, or a list in braces) is
+nonzero.  To be compatible with other shells, "zsh -e" now exits in
+those circumstances, whereas previous versions did not.  This does not
+affect the handling of nonzero status within conditional statements.
