-----------------
Support for named references and namespaces has been added, similar to
those features in ksh but with some notable differences. The `nameref`
builtin and some ksh-equivalent namespace names are available by loading
the zsh/ksh93 module. See the documentation of that module for more.
The parameter expansion flag ! was added for the referred-to name of a
named reference.
The parameter ZSH_EXEPATH expands to the full path of the current zsh
process, reliably on Linux, Mac, {Net,Free,Dragonfly}BSD and falls
back to argv[0] elsewhere.
The default keymap is now emacs. Users of the vi keymaps please check
README to see if you are affected.
In region_highlight and zle_highlight, italic and faint can be
specified as font attributes for terminals that support them.
Highlighting groups can be referenced in region_highlight and
zle_highlight for common attribute combinations and a layer can be

The zparseopts builtin also learnt a -G option which enables GNU-style

The module zsh/pcre has been updated to use the pcre2 library.
The new zsh/random module defines an SRANDOM parameter, zrand_float()
and zrand_int() math functions.
The shell keyword time now works on builtins, assignments, and
