You may - well not notice this, however. - o Cursor keys are now usually bound in both vi command and insert - mode. In the latter case, this may result in a slight delay after - hitting ESCAPE to exit insert mode. Purists who object to this can - unbind the appropriate key sequences (see zshzle(1)). Most beginning - users of zsh apparently find the current behaviour preferable. - o History file format is incompatible with versions older than 3.0.6, - but this should only affect people who try to share history files - between the two versions -- 4.0 can read the old format, 3.0.6 and - later can read the new format.
