it here.

CHANGES SINCE 5.14
New features:
- 'exec' has a new option to ignore the return code of the subcommand
- 'mem -l' flushes the memory several times now
- 'foreach' can now be interrupted with CTRL-D
- 'qsort' and 'readfile' less memory consuming
- $_titlebar can now show the number of open shells
- $_qcd can now be unset, disabling quick cd mechanism
- ^D now suppresses path names
- ESC-= and ESC-* introduced for listin and insertion of matching files
- new editing function for character swapping
- created 'overview.doc' for the impatient
- documented 'error' command and 'htype -r'
Bug fixes:
- 'csh -r' did not work due to wrong compilation (optimizer was on)
- 'qsort' would occasionally get stuck if not redirected
- 'diskchange' was not compatible with a few handlers
- @fileblks returned wrong figures if called with more than one arg
- @drives and @volume now add colons as they should
- $_abbrev was broken in the last release
- $_bground was always set to 1
- some kinds of corrupt dates still printed garbage
- use backtick and $( ) corrupted shell variables
- failed functions weren't handled correctly
- files with very long names could be 'source'd when started
- empty lines inside multi line blocks caused trouble
- nested blocks did not work as expected
- added forgotten files to distribution: syms.c and updated sample.sh
