Zsh version 3.0.2 has now been released!


This is a bugfix only version. Everybody using zsh-3.0.1 or older should consider upgrading to zsh-3.0.2.

This is intended to be the last 3.0 release. If there is no new serious bug report, the next production release will be zsh-3.2. The next development release, zsh-3.1.0 will soon be available from the arcive sites. It will support dynamically loadable binary modules on systems which support dynamic loading. This feature will make the shell easily extensible with new builtins and editor functions. Existing parts of zsh including the line editor and some builtins will be moved to separate modules which are only loaded when they are needed. This can improve the startup time of zsh when it is executing shell scripts.
