Castro" To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: zsh-5.0.7-1 Message-Id: User-Agent: Alpine 2.00 (LNX 1167 2008-08-23) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2015-04/txt/msg00600.txt.bz2 An updated version of zsh (zsh-5.0.7-1) has been released and should be at a mirror near you real soon. This is an upstream release. NOTICE: ======= Version 5.0.7 has just been released for both 32-bit and 64-bit Cygwin. This release contains several fixes, but is mostly to address the problem that existed in versions 5.0.6. NEWS: ===== (From the release notes: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/releases.html) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Changes between versions 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 ---------------------------------------- Contains a security fix to disallow evaluation of the initial values of integer variables imported from the environment (they are instead treated as literal numbers). That could allow local privilege escalation, under some specific and atypical conditions where zsh is being invoked in privilege elevation contexts when the environment has not been properly sanitized, such as when zsh is invoked by sudo on systems where "env_reset" has been disabled. The default $fpath/$FPATH is now designed always to include /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions. This directory does not need to exist. Sites that set an explicit site directory can put that in /etc/zshenv as before. The intention of the new path element is to increase the likelihood that locally added functions can be found with the shell running "out of the box", no matter how the shell was configured. In prompt strings, %e or the equivalent test %(e..) are used to output or test the execution / evaluation depth of a shell construct within functions etc. This is useful in $PS4. Redirections applied to function definitions take effect when the function is executed, not when it is defined. Other shells already work this way. For example, fn() { echo hello } >~/logfile Running fn writes "hello" to logfile. In older versions of the shell it would create an empty file at the point of definition. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- See ChangeLogs for full details. ChangeLogs: http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/zsh/ChangeLog-5.0.7 Homepage: http://www.zsh.org DESCRIPTION: ============ Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles `ksh' but includes many enhancements. Zsh has command line editing, builtin spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features.

DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
