Zsh 5.0 released
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?

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!

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!
