Changes from 5.5.1 to 5.5.1-test-2
----------------------------------
Non-stop IEEE 754 arithmetic support - Inf and NaN are now returned
from floating point operations where errors were printed before.
Inf and NaN are also recognised in arithmetic expressions.
In shell patterns, [[:blank:]] now honours the locale instead of
matching exclusively on space and tab, like for the other POSIX
character classes or for extended regular expressions.
Nanosecond precision on file times is supported in the module
zsh/stat.
