No, 4.2.7 is the latest stable version. (See the folder "zsh" (not "zsh-dev") on zsh's SourceForge files page.) 4.3.10 is a development version, which is already available in the zsh-devel port.

Yes, I see that now on the page you cite. However, my motivation for producing a new zsh port was that the zsh in OS X 10.5.8 is already at 4.3.4:

Oenone:~ % /bin/zsh --version
zsh 4.3.4 (i386-apple-darwin9.0)
Oenone:~ % uname -a 
Darwin Oenone.local 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

So, installing any port that depends on zsh effectively forces a downgrade of zsh to 4.2.7. This seems dubious and unwarranted. Perhaps the zsh port should at least install 4.3.4 or that version installed by the latest OS X 10.6.x?

In addition, I pulled the source from http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Arc/source.html (linked from http://zsh.sourceforge.net/) which only references 4.3.10 with no indication its a dev release.

Maybe this issue needs revisited and zsh bumped to the new version. From zsh sourceforge page:

zsh is the stable shell version. This is now the 5.0 series, which is the latest version. zsh-dev is the development version of the shell. This is not currently in use; the last release here was the 4.7 series. zsh-doc is preformatted documentation associated with zsh. The main shell build already comes with manual pages and a Texinfo source, so you only need this if you want info, HTML or PDF formats and don't have the tools. zsh-doc-dev is preformatted documentation associated with zsh-dev.

zsh and zsh-devel are both version 5.0.0 now.
