For a list of some of these, see the file FEATURES, and for the latest changes see NEWS. For more details, see the documentation. +Incompatibilites between 5.0.8 and 5.0.9 +---------------------------------------- + +As noted in NEWS, the builtins declare, export, float, integer, local, +readonly and typeset now have corresponding reserved words that provide +true assignment semantics instead of an approximation by means of normal +command line arguments. It is hoped that this additional consistency +provides a more natural interface. However, compatbility with older +versions of zsh can be obtained by turning off the reserved word +interface, exposing the builtin interface: + + disable -r declare export float integer local readonly typeset + +This is also necessary in the unusual eventuality that the builtins are +to be replaced by shell functions, since reserved words take precedence +over functions. + Incompatibilites between 5.0.7 and 5.0.8 ---------------------------------------- |
