This is a meaningless question --- you can only ask what is the minimum
version for some particular feature, and you haven't said what that is.

All the previous versions of zsh still work as well as they ever did,
the question is what you want to do with them.

I would think many people consider the new completion system a minimum.
To have that reasonably reliable I'd probably want the 4.2 series.  But
you say you've already got that.
