# Changes in HEAD


- Highlight `&>` `>&|` `>&!` `&>|` and `&>!` as redirection.
  [#942]


# Changes in 0.8.0

This is a stable bugfix and feature release.  Major new features and changes include:


## Changes fixed as part of the switch to zle-line-pre-redraw

The changes in this section were fixed by switching to a `zle-line-pre-redraw`-based
implementation.

Note: The new implementation will only be used on future zsh releases,
numbered 5.8.1.1 and newer, due to interoperability issues with other plugins
(issues #418 and #579).  The underlying zsh feature has been available since
zsh 5.3.

Whilst under development, the new implementation was known as the
"feature/redrawhook" topic branch.

- Fixed: Highlighting not triggered after popping a buffer from the buffer stack
  (using the `push-line` widget, default binding: `M-q`)
  [#40]

- Fixed: Invoking completion when there were no matches removed highlighting
  [#90, #470]

- Fixed: Two successive deletes followed by a yank only yanked the latest
  delete, rather than both of them
  [#150, #151, #160; cf. #183]

- Presumed fixed: Completing `$(xsel)` results in an error message from `xsel`,
  with pre-2017 versions of `xsel`.  (For 2017 vintage and newer, see the issue
  for details.)
  [#154]

- Fixed: When the standard `bracketed-paste-magic` widget is in use, pastes were slow
  [#295]

- Fixed: No way to prevent a widget from being wrapped
  [#324]

- Fixed: No highlighting while cycling menu completion
  [#375]

- Fixed: Does not coexist with the `IGNORE_EOF` option
  [#377]

- Fixed: The `undefined-key` widget was wrapped
  [#421]

- Fixed: Does not coexist with the standard `surround` family of widgets
  [#520]

- Fixed: First completed filename doesn't get `path` highlighting
  [#632]


## Other changes

- Add issue #712 to the previous release's changelog (hereinafter).

- Fix highlighting when using an alias twice inside another alias
  [#769, #775]

- Remove lint warning for `env` followed by a pipe
  [#797]

- Recognize `proxychains` as a precommand
  [#814, #914]

- Honor shwordsplit when expanding parameters
  [#687, #818]

- Skip highlighting when keys are still pending in more cases
  [#835]

- Recognize `grc` as a precommand

- Recognize `torsocks` and `torift` as precommands
  [#898]

- Recognize `cpulimit` as a precommand
  [#897]

- Recognize `ktrace` as a precommand


# Changes in 0.8.0-alpha1-pre-redrawhook

## Notice about an improbable-but-not-impossible forward incompatibility

Everyone can probably skip this section.

The `master` branch of zsh-syntax-highlighting uses a zsh feature that has not
yet appeared in a zsh release: the `memo=` feature, added to zsh in commit
zsh-5.8-172-gdd6e702ee (after zsh 5.8, before zsh 5.9).  In the unlikely event
that this zsh feature should change in an incompatible way before the next
stable zsh release, set `zsh_highlight__memo_feature=0` in your .zshrc files to
disable use of the new feature.

z-sy-h dogfoods the new, unreleased zsh feature because that feature was
added to zsh at z-sy-h's initiative.  The new feature is used in the fix
to issue #418.


## Incompatible changes:

- An unsuccessful completion (a <kbd>⮀ Tab</kbd> press that doesn't change the
  command line) no longer causes highlighting to be lost.  Visual feedback can
  alternatively be achieved by setting the `format` zstyle under the `warnings`
  tag, for example,

        zstyle ':completion:*:warnings' format '%F{red}No matches%f'

    Refer to the [description of the `format` style in `zshcompsys(1)`]
    [zshcompsys-Standard-Styles-format].

- Command separators in array assignments (`foo=( bar | baz )`) are now

  revision zsh-5.8-172-gdd6e702ee or newer is also fine.)
  [#418, https://github.com/okapia/zsh-viexchange/issues/1]

  (28d7056a7a06, et seq)

- Work around upstream bug that triggered when the command word was a relative
  path, that when interpreted relative to a $PATH directory denoted a command;
  the effect of that upstream bug was that the relative path was cached as
  a "valid external command name".
  (#354, #355, 51614ca2c994, fdaeec45146b, 7d38d07255e4;
  upstream fix slated to be released in 5.3 (workers/39104))

  variable, which is in the highlighters' namespace.

  from highlighting.
  (ed33d2cb1388; reverts part of 186d80054a40 which was for #65)

- Warn only once, rather than once per keypress, when a highlighter is unavailable.
  (0a9b347483ae)

# Changes in version 0.3.0


## Added highlighting of:

- suffix aliases (requires zsh 5.1.1 or newer):

    ```zsh
    alias -s png=display
    foo.png
    ```

- prefix redirections:

    ```zsh
    <foo.txt cat
    ```

- redirection operators:

    ```zsh
    echo > foo.txt
    ```

- arithmetic evaluations:

    ```zsh
    (( 42 ))
    ```

- $'' strings, including \x/\octal/\u/\U escapes

    ```zsh
    : $'foo\u0040bar'
    ```

- multiline strings:

    ```zsh
    % echo "line 1
    line 2"
    ```

- string literals that haven't been finished:

    ```zsh
    % echo "Hello, world
    ```
- command words that involve tilde expansion:

    ```zsh
    % ~/bin/foo
    ```

## Fixed highlighting of:

- quoted command words:

    ```zsh
    % \ls
    ```

- backslash escapes in "" strings:

    ```zsh
    % echo "\x41"
    ```

- noglob after command separator:

    ```zsh
    % :; noglob echo *
    ```

- glob after command separator, when the first command starts with 'noglob':

    ```zsh
    % noglob true; echo *
    ```

- the region (vi visual mode / set-mark-command) (issue #165)

- redirection and command separators that would be highlighted as `path_approx`

    ```zsh
    % echo foo;‸
    % echo <‸
    ```

    (where `‸` represents the cursor location)

- escaped globbing (outside quotes)

    ```zsh
    % echo \*
    ```


## Other changes:

- implemented compatibility with zsh's paste highlighting (issue #175)

- `$?` propagated correctly to wrapped widgets

- don't leak $REPLY into global scope


## Developer-visible changes:

- added makefile with `install` and `test` targets

- set `warn_create_global` internally

- document release process
