zsh2.00.01 is now available for anonymous FTP from princeton.edu (128.112.12.1) as "/pub/zsh/zsh2.00.01.tar.Z". There is a set of patches at "/pub/zsh/zsh00-01.patch.Z". The patches may also appear on comp.sources.misc soon. Here is part of the README for zsh 2.00.01: --- zsh is free software. See the file COPYING for copying permission. This is zsh 2.00.01. To get this shell running, cd into the src directory and type "buildzsh". I tested it on the following machines, where it compiled just by running this script: Sun SPARCServer 4/490 running SunOS 4.1.1 Sun 3/60C running SunOS 4.1.1 NeXTstation running Mach 2.0 SGI-4D/25 running IRIX 3.3.1 hp9000 running BSD 4.3 DECSystem-5000 running ULTRIX 4.0 ... Modification history: 00-01: - %M and %m now work as documented. - bad things no longer happen if COLUMNS is set to 0 - SH_WORD_SPLIT and ${=foo} now work - the default value of WORDCHARS includes more characters - if the cursor is at the end of the line, vi-cmd-mode moves it back one position. - delete-char now acts more like x in vi. - a "prompt" parameter has been added, which is equivalent to PROMPT and PS1. - zsh no longer expands symbolic links. The CHASELINKS option has been provided to get the old behavior. - history searches ignore lines that are the same as the line in the buffer. - you can get a literal ! in your prompt now with \!. - -z, -n, and != in [[ ... ]] expressions work. - the shell no longer hangs when inputting "[[ ]\n" - the "menu-complete" and "menu-expand-or-complete" bindings have been added. - menu-complete no longer beeps. - reverse-menu-complete no longer dumps core if it gets called before a normal completion. - typeahead lines are no longer thrown away on machines with sgttyb. - !foo no longer matches lines with 'foo' in them (not at the beginning) - kill -9 % no longer kills the shell - no longer sources .zshrc from shell scripts or with -c - no longer needs limits.h, strtol - exporting HOSTTYPE, etc. works - fixed serious bugs related to . in path - numbers in weird bases now work ... -- Paul Falstad, pfalstad@phoenix.princeton.edu | 10 PRINT "PRINCETON CS" [Your blood pressure just went up.] | 20 GOTO 10 Princeton University would like to apologize to everyone for this article.
