I've ever been met with a certain problem, that zsh 3.1.[56] fails to load some extension modules after upgrading the world while 3.0.x seems unaffected. /home/knu/.zshrc: failed to load module: zle [1] /home/knu/.zshrc: bindkey: autoload failed [1] zsh: failed to load module: zle knu@freebird[1]% This is just an example that shows zsh-devel is somewhat less stable than zsh, though it still works without its _powerful_ command line editing. I'd ask shells/zsh for stability and shells/zsh-devel for new advanced features. I, as a hobbyist, will take the latter but such as ISPs shall take the former, IMHO. -- / /__ __ / ) ) ) ) / Akinori -Aki- MUSHA aka / (_ / ( (__( "If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice."
