Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) which of the standard shells most resembles the Korn shell (ksh).

Zsh includes enhancements of many types, notably in the command-line editor, options for customising its behaviour, filename globbing, features to make C-shell (csh) users feel more at home and extra features drawn from tcsh.

What's New in This Release:
This version contains initial support for multibyte characters in the shell's line editor (in particular UTF-8, although any character set supported by the system library is usable). Please read the appropriate sections of the file INSTALL as this support is not turned on by default on all systems where it can be used. The release also contains a few enhancements to shell syntax and supplied functions as well as numerous bug fixes. See the file NEWS for more detail. There are only a few unavoidable incompatibilities with previous versions, mostly to enhance compatibility with other shells and standards; see the README file. 4.3.2 is the first announced version of the 4.3.x series and fixes a few installation issues with 4.3.1. If you have successfully installed 4.3.1 you probably do not need 4.3.2.
