This is still under + development. See the zshcalsys manual. (The calendar functions + were in 4.3.4 but were not listed in this file. There have been + significant enhancements since 4.3.4.) + +- A new module zsh/curses provides a builtin zcurses for access to + to the curses screen manipulation package. See the entry for zsh/curses + in the zshmodules manual. + +- The module system has been enhanced to support the notion of "features" + that give more control over which builtins, parameters, conditions + and math functions are loaded from a module. In particular, + "zmodload -F zsh/stat b:zstat" makes the builtin previously called + "stat" available as "zstat" (only) to avoid clashes with a system + command named "stat". + +Major changes between versions 4.2 and 4.3.4 +-------------------------------------------- - There is support for multibyte character sets. This is now reasonably close to complete, although Unicode combining characters don't work -- cgit 1.4.1
