New release with many changes including better support for shell code debugging, more support for highlighting and coloring the command line in the line editor, and support for combining characters in the line editor on compatible terminals. See the full list of major changes in package's NEWS file. A simple version bump from version 4.3.6 in the tree worked fine. Also, I needed to add a few lines to the gentoo prompt in order for it to be colored properly with the new release. See the attached diff for the changes.
Created attachment 171580 [details] prompt_gentoo_setup.diff Make the gentoo prompt's color work
Created attachment 171589 [details, diff] zsh-4.3.6-to-4.3.9.ebuild.diff I updated the zsh-lovers examples to the lates available version (0.8.1). This needs some tweaks to the ebuild which can be seen in this attached patch.
reassigning to "interim maintainer" ;)
Created attachment 171685 [details, diff] zsh-4.3.6-to-4.3.9.ebuild.diff Updated ebuild patch. In version 0.8.1 there is no zsh-lovers man page anymore. It's just a plain asciidoc file now.
i can confirm, rename is enough. 4.3.9 runs since a few weeks without any problems. i'd be happy to see 4.3.9 in the official tree :)

Please have a look. I guess the old prompt setup was based on adam1. I removed everything that isn't actually used.

I didn't do it because the include "zsh reference card" pdf is a bit broken (characters lap). I reported it upstream. There is also no license information about the pdf. So I didn't include it.
4.3.9 is in the tree. I didn't bump the zsh-lovers package. Please test. It still needs some test fixes: ./C02cond.ztst ./Y01completion.ztst ./Y02compmatch.ztst ./Y03arguments.ztst fail for me.

I have a Wyse WY-185ES connected to one of my machines. Every time I attempt to login using zsh as my login shell, the session hangs as soon as agetty transfers control to zsh. Every time I use bash instead, the session works as expected. [I am running zsh 4.3.4-r1, so this question is somewhat retrospective.]

Try it. If there are problems, please open a new bug. Thanks
