Release Notes: Path behavior on Windows was fixed.
Release Notes: This release adds a new "if" builtin, a new "forfile" builtin ("forfile *.txt less $_" is equivalent to bash's "for i in #.txt; do less $i; done"), a new redirection and piping syntax ("ls >[=FILEHANDLE]", incompatible with the old sh-like syntax), a strategy for finding and running Darwin/Mac OS X Appbundle programs, support for && and || with simple commands, themes, and major startup time reduction. Backticks now work.
Release Notes: New builtins rename, fc, bind, and drives, enhanced builtin history, backticks work for builtins, and better operation under ActiveState Perl for Win32.
Release Notes: New and enhanced built-ins (cd, dirs, complete, firsttime, function, history, unalias), an extended completion code for Perl (supports $#foo, $foo->{key, $foo->method, subroutine without &, and Perl reserved symbols), functionality after initial ! for shell escape, support for a global .pshrc file at /etc/pshrc in Unix, and piping and nesting are now possible with aliases.
Release Notes: Support for window titles (the behavior is like prompt strings), a builtin kill which now supports sending a signal to a named job (e.g. emacs & ; kill emacs), properly pipeable aliases, a new builtin set which acts like bash's set and returns environment, and a fix to make the Unix resize handler work correctly in big xterms.
