Updated Homebrew's Zsh formula for v5, give it a +1 if you want to see it updated faster: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/13543

GitHub still doesn't have a +1 button and you must still clutter the issue tracker with +1 comments? Wow.

GitHub still does not give you the revision at which a pull request was merged (even if you did it from their interface), if you don't specifically reference the request from the commit message (to create a backlink) the relation is lost to gh.

It's annoying when you're trying to see where/when a fix has been landed.

Is it possible to upgrade OS X's default zsh version to 5.0? How do I make that my login shell? When I go to login options, I don't see zsh 5.0 as an option.

Does this mean I have to manually enter the path like /usr/local/zsh?

% chsh yourusername

Don't you mean `chsh -s /bin/zsh` ?

That works, too. But my way allows you to set your office number in the Gecos field!

It's /usr/local/bin/zsh. You have to add that path to /etc/shells before chsh will let you set it as a login shell. Happy zshing!

Thank you, this works!
