+- Global aliases can be created for syntactic tokens such as command
+ separators (";", "&", "|", "&&", "||"), redirection operators, etc.
+ Use at your own risk! The POSIX_ALIASES option is interpreted more
+ strictly to prevent expansion of these and other alias names containing
+ quotes, glob metacharacters, parameter references, etc.
+
+- There have been various further improvements to builtin handling
+ with the POSIX_BUILTINS option (off by default) for compatibility with
+ the POSIX standard.
+
+- 'whence -v' is now more informative, and 'whence -S' shows you
+ how a full chain of symbolic links resolves to a command.
+
+- The 'p' parameter flag now allows an argument to be specified
+ as a reference to a variable, e.g. ${(ps.$sep.)foo} to split $foo
+ on a string given by $sep.
+
+- Elements of the watch variable may now be patterns.
+
+- The logic for retrying history locking has been improved.
+
+- Some rationalisations have been made to the zsh/db/gdbm module that
+ should make it more useful and predictable in operation.
