3.1.7-pre-3

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sensors indicate I have uploaded
  ftp://ftp.zsh.org/zsh/development/zsh-3.1.7-pre-3.tar.gz
(forgot to mark it in the ChangeLog, sorry, I've just put the entry in in
the right place).  Bart & Akira's process group change just misses this.
Probably this is not so important for the people here, who are mostly using
CVS.  (Is anyone who considers themselves active on zsh-workers not using
CVS?)

There's nothing else I've got to do myself, except the reading through of
the documentation I keep meaning to do.  (I shall continue to add things to
Test, and I hope other people will, but that's not going to be finished by
3.1.7.)  Depending how strong I'm feeling on this, 3.1.7 could probably
appear next weekend.  As always I would expect the completion tweaking to
go on anyway.  It's time to think about not putting in any changes
affecting lots of files (even if not functionally substantial) until
afterwards.

It would be nice to get the print -s things sorted out, though presumably
this is a long-standing bug.  There were also some thoughts about
simplifying the behviour of cd which certainly won't happen before 3.1.7
now.
