CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF ZSH
-------------------------------------
-Major changes between versions 4.2 and 4.3
-------------------------------------------
+Note also the list of incompatibilities in the README file.
+
+Major changes between versions 4.3.4 and 4.3.5
+----------------------------------------------
+
+- The new extended globbing flag (#cN,M) behaves similarly to the extended
+ regular expression syntax {N,M}.
+
+- The zsh/datetime module has been enhanced and a calendar function
+ system has been added along the lines of (but much enhanced from)
+ the traditional Unix "calendar" utility. This is still under
+ development. See the zshcalsys manual. (The calendar functions
+ were in 4.3.4 but were not listed in this file. There have been
+ significant enhancements since 4.3.4.)
+
+- A new module zsh/curses provides a builtin zcurses for access to
+ to the curses screen manipulation package. See the entry for zsh/curses
+ in the zshmodules manual.
+
+- The module system has been enhanced to support the notion of "features"
+ that give more control over which builtins, parameters, conditions
+ and math functions are loaded from a module. In particular,
+ "zmodload -F zsh/stat b:zstat" makes the builtin previously called
+ "stat" available as "zstat" (only) to avoid clashes with a system
+ command named "stat".
+
+Major changes between versions 4.2 and 4.3.4
+--------------------------------------------
- There is support for multibyte character sets. This is now reasonably
close to complete, although Unicode combining characters don't work
