Zsh 4.2.7 is the latest production version. The latest development
version is 4.3.17; this contains support for multibyte character strings
(such as UTF-8 locales). All the main features for multibyte
support are now in place and this is likely soon to become the
stable series 5.0.
There will not be any further 4.2 releases.
Zsh 5.0.0 is the latest production version, replacing the now
rather antiquated 4.2.7. For details of all the changes, see
the NEWS file in the source distribution.
A beta of the next version is sometimes available. Development of zsh is
patch by patch, with each intermediate version publicly available. Note

Version
-------
This is version 4.3.17 of the shell. This is a development release,
but is believed to be reasonably stable. Sites where the users need to
edit command lines with multibyte characters (in particular UTF-8)
will probably want to upgrade. The previous widely released version
of the shell was 4.3.15.

There have been only incremental changes since the last development
version, 4.3.17. The new major version number represents the

Possible incompatibilities
---------------------------
In some 4.3.X releases of zsh, the completion system added a ".." as a
