Possibile incompatibilities
---------------------------
If you have been using recent versions of zsh 3.1, the following changes in
the shell may affect you:
- The traditional bindings of \M-n (history-search-backward) and
\M-p (history-search-forward) in older versions of zsh have returned,
as has the traditional behaviour of those functions and the functions
up-line-or-search and down-line-or-search. In 3.1.5, the functions
behaved differently and \M-n and \M-p were bound by default to
history-beginning-search-backward and history-beginning-search-forward.
- Prompt truncation behaviour via %<...< and %>...> (or %[<...] etc.) has
changed slightly: the string to be truncated runs to the end of the
prompt or to the next truncation sequence; %<< will turn off truncation.
Previously it only covered individual prompt escapes. So for example the
prompt `%10<...<%~%% ' will now include the `%% ' in the string to be
truncated, and you should change the prompt to `%10<...<%~%<<%% ' to turn
off truncation immediately after the `%~'.
- If for some reason you have `setopt norcs' or `unsetopt rcs' anywhere in
your startup files (e.g. to stop .zlogout being run), this will now
take effect immediately, preventing later startup files from being
run. It is safe to put `setopt norcs' in .zlogin as this is always
the last run.
See the FAQ for a discussion of changes over the longer term.
