An updated version of zsh (zsh-4.3.4-1) has been released and should be
at a mirror near you real soon.
NOTICE:
=======
This version has Multi-byte/Unicode support enabled in it. This may or
may not present problems for existing scripts which assumed a prior
behaviour concerning multi-byte characters. If this breaks too many
existing user scripts, then I will disable this behaviour in the next
build upon request.
This release will work with cygwin-1.5.18-1 or later.
- Note: 4.3.3 was never released for Cygwin due to stability issues.

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.
