From 39b28980f38e83e15cdeb19a489b5659af97fe93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stephenson Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 14:54:41 +0100 Subject: various posts: Implement assignment parsing for typeset. Typeset assignments now work like raw assignments except for no "+=" and no GLOB_ASSIGN. Documented in typeset builtin doc and mentioned in release notes. Tests to ensure basic sanity. Enabled by default, can be turned off by "disable -r" with typeset family of commands. --- README | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 10f29a4ed..745ee6fce 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -30,6 +30,23 @@ Zsh is a shell with lots of features.

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 overridden by shell functions, since reserved words take +precedence over functions. + Incompatibilites between 5.0.7 and 5.0.8 ---------------------------------------- -- cgit 1.4.1
