Unsorted entries in PLIST files have generated a pkglint warning for at
least 12 years. Somewhat more recently, pkglint has learned to sort
PLIST files automatically. Since pkglint 5.4.23, the sorting is only
done in obvious, simple cases. These have been applied by running:
pkglint -Cnone,PLIST -Wnone,plist-sort -r -F
pkgsrc changes: add doxygen dependency for building docs.
this is unusual as doxygen is heavy, but fish is meant to
be beginner-friendly shell, so documentation is important.
remove now unneeded patch, that getcwd is called with a size
argument now.
# fish 2.7.1 (released December 23, 2017)
This release of fish fixes an issue where iTerm 2 on macOS would display a warning about paste bracketing being left on when starting a new fish session (#4521).
If you are upgrading from version 2.6.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.7.0 and 2.7b1 (included below).

# fish 2.7.0 (released November 23, 2017)
There are no major changes between 2.7b1 and 2.7.0. If you are upgrading from version 2.6.0 or before, please also review the release notes for 2.7b1 (included below).
Xcode builds and macOS packages could not be produced with 2.7b1, but this is fixed in 2.7.0.

# fish 2.7b1 (released October 31, 2017)
## Notable improvements
- A new `cdh` (change directory using recent history) command provides a more friendly alternative to prevd/nextd and pushd/popd (#2847).
- A new `argparse` command is available to allow fish script to parse arguments with the same behavior as builtin commands. This also includes the `fish_opt` helper command. (#4190).
- Invalid array indexes are now silently ignored (#826, #4127).
- Improvements to the debugging facility, including a prompt specific to the debugger (`fish_breakpoint_prompt`) and a `status is-breakpoint` subcommand (#1310).
- `string` supports new `lower` and `upper` subcommands, for altering the case of strings (#4080). The case changing is not locale-aware yet.
- `string escape` has a new `--style=xxx` flag where `xxx` can be `script`, `var`, or `url` (#4150), and can be reversed with `string unescape` (#3543).
- History can now be split into sessions with the `fish_history` variable, or not saved to disk at all (#102).
- Read history is now controlled by the `fish_history` variable rather than the `--mode-name` flag (#1504).
- `command` now supports an `--all` flag to report all directories with the command. `which` is no longer a runtime dependency (#2778).
- fish can run commands before starting an interactive session using the new `--init-command`/`-C` options (#4164).
- `set` has a new `--show` option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
## Other significant changes
- The `COLUMNS` and `LINES` environment variables are now correctly set the first time `fish_prompt` is run (#4141).
- `complete`'s `--no-files` option works as intended (#112).
- `echo -h` now correctly echoes `-h` in line with other shells (#4120).
- The `export` compatibility function now returns zero on success, rather than always returning 1 (#4435).
- Stop converting empty elements in MANPATH to "." (#4158). The behavior being changed was introduced in fish 2.6.0.
- `count -h` and `count --help` now return 1 rather than produce command help output (#4189).
- An attempt to `read` which stops because too much data is available still defines the variables given as parameters (#4180).
- A regression in fish 2.4.0 which prevented `pushd +1` from working has been fixed (#4091).
- A regression in fish 2.6.0 where multiple `read` commands in non-interactive scripts were broken has been fixed (#4206).
- A regression in fish 2.6.0 involving universal variables with side-effects at startup such as `set -U fish_escape_delay_ms 10` has been fixed (#4196).
- Added completions for:
- `as` (#4130)
- `cdh` (#2847)
- `dhcpd` (#4115)
- `ezjail-admin` (#4324)
- Fabric's `fab` (#4153)
- `grub-file` (#4119)
- `grub-install` (#4119)
- `jest` (#4142)
- `kdeconnect-cli`
- `magneto` (#4043, #4108)
- `mdadm` (#4198)
- `passwd` (#4209)
- `pip` and `pipenv` (#4448)
- `s3cmd` (#4332)
- `sbt` (#4347)
- `snap` (#4215)
- Sublime Text 3's `subl` (#4277)
- Lots of improvements to completions.
- Updated Chinese and French translations.
Fish shell-like syntax highlighting for Zsh. This package provides
syntax highlighing for the shell zsh. It enables highlighing of
commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an interactive
terminal. This helps in reviewing commands before running them,
particularly in catching syntax errors.
zsh-completions aims at gathering/developing new completion scripts
that are not available in Zsh yet. The scripts may be contributed to
the Zsh project when stable enough.
don't mess with the declaration of tparm_solaris_kludge unnecessarily.

bump PKGREVISION
pkgsrc changes:
- Use PRINT_PLIST_AWK to aid future upgrades.
- Support the "static" option on Darwin and SunOS.
Upstream changes from 5.3.1 to 5.4:
The 'exec' and 'command' precommand modifiers, and options to them, are
now parsed after parameter expansion. Previously, both the modifier and
any options to it were parsed between alias expansion and parameter
expansion (see zshexpn(1)), so they could neither be quoted nor be the
result of parameter expansion. Examples: 's=command; $s -V ls' and
'\command -V ls' now work as expected.
Functions executed by ZLE widgets no longer have their standard input
closed, but redirected from /dev/null instead. That still guards
against user defined widgets inadvertently reading from the tty device.
There is an option WARN_NESTED_VAR, a companion to the existing
WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL that causes a warning if a function updates a
variable from an enclosing scope without using typeset -g. It can be
turned on for an individual function with "functions -W".
zmodload now has an option -s to be silent on a failure to find a module
but still print other errors.

- [tg] Revamp dot.mkshrc default editor selection mechanism
The tcsh package Makefile is included directly by the static-tcsh
and standalone-tcsh Makefiles. Modify some of the variables that
really need to be package-specific to be set with ?= in
tcsh/Makefile and document the package Makefiles that directly
include it.
Set PKGREVISION directly in static-tcsh and standalone-tcsh now
that they can have independent PKGREVISION values.
Bump the PKGREVISION of static-tcsh due to the MAINTAINER now
correctly being listed as agc@ due to this change.
Notable fixes and improvements:
- Jobs running in the background can now be removed from the list
of jobs with the new disown builtin, which behaves like the same
command in other shells.
- Command substitutions now have access to the terminal, like in
other shells. This allows tools like fzf to work properly.
- In cases where the operating system does not report the size of
the terminal, the COLUMNS and LINES environment variables are
used; if they are unset, a default of 80x24 is assumed.
- New French and improved German translations.
- fish no longer depends on the which external command.

Release Notes for fish 2.5.0 (released February 3, 2017)
The Home, End, Insert, Delete, Page Up and Page Down keys work in Vi-style key bindings (#3731).
Platform Changes
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a more up-to-date version of C++, specifically C++11 (from 2011). This affects some older platforms:
Linux
For users building from source, GCC's g++ 4.8 or later, or LLVM's clang 3.3 or later, are known to work. Older platforms may require a newer compiler installed. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the toolchain, binary packages are no longer published by the fish-shell developers for the following platforms:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS 5 & 6 for 64-bit builds
Ubuntu 12.04 (EoLTS April 2017)
Debian 7 (EoLTS May 2018)
Installing newer version of fish on these systems will require building from source.
OS X SnowLeopard
Starting with version 2.5, fish requires a C++11 standard library on OS X 10.6 ("SnowLeopard"). If this library is not installed, you will see this error: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib MacPorts is the easiest way to obtain this library. After installing the SnowLeopard MacPorts release from the install page, run: sudo port -v install libcxx Now fish should launch successfully. (Please open an issue if it does not.) This is only necessary on 10.6. OS X 10.7 and later include the required library by default.
Other significant changes
Attempting to exit with running processes in the background produces a warning, then signals them to terminate if a second attempt to exit is made. This brings the behaviour for running background processes into line with stopped processes. (#3497)
random can now have start, stop and step values specified, or the new choice subcommand can be used to pick an argument from a list (#3619).
A new key bindings preset, fish_hybrid_key_bindings, including all the Emacs-style and Vi-style bindings, which behaves like fish_vi_key_bindings in fish 2.3.0 (#3556).
function now returns an error when called with invalid options, rather than defining the function anyway (#3574). This was a regression present in fish 2.3 and 2.4.0.
fish no longer prints a warning when it identifies a running instance of an old version (2.1.0 and earlier). Changes to universal variables may not propagate between these old versions and 2.5b1.
Improved compatiblity with Android (#3585), MSYS/mingw (#2360), Solaris (#3456, #3340)
Like other shells, the test builting now returns an error for numeric operations on invalid integers (#3346, #3581).
complete no longer recognises --authoritative and --unauthoritative options, and they are marked as obsolete.
status accepts subcommands, and should be used like status is-interactive. The old options continue to be supported for the foreseeable future (#3526), although only one subcommand or option can be specified at a time.
Selection mode (used with "begin-selection") no longer selects a character the cursor does not move over (#3684).
List indexes are handled better, and a bit more liberally in some cases (echo $PATH[1 .. 3] is now valid) (#3579).
The fish_mode_prompt function is now simply a stub around fish_default_mode_prompt, which allows the mode prompt to be included more easily in customised prompt functions (#3641).
Notable fixes and improvements
alias, run without options or arguments, lists all defined aliases, and aliases now include a description in the function signature that identifies them.
complete accepts empty strings as descriptions (#3557).
command accepts -q/--quiet in combination with --search (#3591), providing a simple way of checking whether a command exists in scripts.
Abbreviations can now be renamed with abbr --rename OLD_KEY NEW_KEY (#3610).
The command synopses printed by --help options work better with copying and pasting (#2673).
help launches the browser specified by the $fish_help_browser variable if it is set (#3131).
History merging could lose items under certain circumstances and is now fixed (#3496).
The $status variable is now set to 123 when a syntactically invalid command is entered (#3616).
Exiting fish now signals all background processes to terminate, not just stopped jobs (#3497).
A new prompt_hostname function which prints a hostname suitable for use in prompts (#3482).
The __fish_man_page function (bound to Alt-h by default) now tries to recognize subcommands (e.g. git add will now open the "git-add" man page) (#3678).
A new function edit_command_buffer (bound to Alt-e & Alt-v by default) to edit the command buffer in an external editor (#1215, #3627).
set_color now supports italics (--italics), dim (--dim) and reverse (--reverse) modes (#3650).
Filesystems with very slow locking (eg incorrectly-configured NFS) will no longer slow fish down (#685).
Improved completions for apt (#3695), fusermount (#3642), make (#3628), netctl-auto (#3378), nmcli (#3648), pygmentize (#3378), and tar (#3719).

Release Notes for fish 2.4.0 (released November 8, 2016)
Significant changes
The clipboard integration has been revamped with explicit bindings. The killring commands no longer copy from, or paste to, the X11 clipboard - use the new copy (C-x) and paste (C-v) bindings instead. The clipboard is now available on OS X as well as systems using X11 (e.g. Linux). (#3061)
history uses subcommands (history delete) rather than options (history --delete) for its actions (#3367). You can no longer specify multiple actions via flags (e.g., history --delete --save something).
New history options have been added, including --max=n to limit the number of history entries, --show-time option to show timestamps (#3175, #3244), and --null to null terminate history entries in the search output.
history search is now case-insensitive by default (which also affects history delete) (#3236).
history delete now correctly handles multiline commands (#31).
Vi-style bindings no longer include all of the default emacs-style bindings; instead, they share some definitions (#3068).
If there is no locale set in the environment, various known system configuration files will be checked for a default. If no locale can be found, en_US-UTF.8 will be used (#277).
A number followed by a caret (e.g. 5^) is no longer treated as a redirection (#1873).
The $version special variable can be overwritten, so that it can be used for other purposes if required.
Notable fixes and improvements
The fish_realpath builtin has been renamed to realpath and made compatible with GNU realpath when run without arguments (#3400). It is used only for systems without a realpath or grealpath utility (#3374).
Improved color handling on terminals/consoles with 8-16 colors, particularly the use of bright named color (#3176, #3260).
fish_indent can now read from files given as arguments, rather than just standard input (#3037).
Fuzzy tab completions behave in a less surprising manner (#3090, #3211).
jobs should only print its header line once (#3127).
Wildcards in redirections are highlighted appropriately (#2789).
Suggestions will be offered more often, like after removing characters (#3069).
history --merge now correctly interleaves items in chronological order (#2312).
Options for fish_indent have been aligned with the other binaries - in particular, -d now means --debug. The --dump option has been renamed to --dump-parse-tree (#3191).
The display of bindings in the Web-based configuration has been greatly improved (#3325), as has the rendering of prompts (#2924).
fish should no longer hang using 100% CPU in the C locale (#3214).
A bug in FreeBSD 11 & 12, Dragonfly BSD & illumos prevented fish from working correctly on these platforms under UTF-8 locales; fish now avoids the buggy behaviour (#3050).
Prompts which show git repository information (via __fish_git_prompt) are faster in large repositories (#3294) and slow filesystems (#3083).
fish 2.3.0 reintroduced a problem where the greeting was printed even when using read; this has been corrected again (#3261).
Vi mode changes the cursor depending on the current mode (#3215).
Command lines with escaped space characters at the end tab-complete correctly (#2447).
Added completions for:
arcanist (#3256)
connmanctl (#3419)
figlet (#3378)
mdbook (#3378)
ninja (#3415)
p4, the Perforce client (#3314)
pygmentize (#3378)
ranger (#3378)
Improved completions for aura (#3297), abbr (#3267), brew (#3309), chown (#3380, #3383),cygport (#3392), git (#3274, #3226, #3225, #3094, #3087, #3035, #3021, #2982, #3230), kill & pkill (#3200), screen (#3271), wget (#3470), and xz (#3378).
Distributors, packagers and developers will notice that the build process produces more succinct output by default; use make V=1 to get verbose output (#3248).
Improved compatibility with minor platforms including musl (#2988), Cygwin (#2993), Android (#3441, #3442), Haiku (#3322) and Solaris.
Automatic cursor changes are now only enabled on the subset of XTerm versions known to support them, resolving a problem where older versions printed garbage to the terminal before and after every prompt (#3499).
Improved the title set in Apple Terminal.app.
Added completions for defaults and improved completions for diskutil (#3478).
Release Notes for fish 2.3.1 (released July 3, 2016)
This is a functionality and bugfix release. This release does not contain all the changes to fish since the last release, but fixes a number of issues directly affecting users at present and includes a small number of new features.
Significant changes
A new fish_key_reader binary for decoding interactive keypresses (#2991).
fish_mode_prompt has been updated to reflect the changes in the way the Vi input mode is set up (#3067), making this more reliable.
fish_config can now properly be launched from the OS X app bundle (#3140).
Notable fixes and improvements
Extra lines were sometimes inserted into the output under Windows (Cygwin and Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux) due to TTY timestamps not being updated (#2859).
The string builtin's match mode now handles the combination of -rnv (match, invert and count) correctly (#3098).
Improvements to TTY special character handling (#3064), locale handling (#3124) and terminal environment variable handling (#3060).
Work towards handling the terminal modes for external commands launched from initialisation files (#2980).
Ease the upgrade path from fish 2.2.0 and before by warning users to restart fish if the string builtin is not available (#3057).
type -a now syntax-colorizes function source output.
Added completions for alsamixer, godoc, gofmt, goimports, gorename, lscpu, mkdir, modinfo, netctl-auto, poweroff, termite, udisksctl and xz (#3123).
Improved completions for apt (#3097), aura (#3102),git (#3114), npm (#3158), string and suspend (#3154).
Release Notes for fish 2.3.0 (released May 20, 2016)
Significant Changes
A new string builtin to handle… strings! This builtin will measure, split, search and replace text strings, including using regular expressions. It can also be used to turn lists into plain strings using join. string can be used in place of sed, grep, tr, cut, and awk in many situations. (#2296)
After seeing an escape character wait up to 300ms for an additional character. This is consistent with readline (e.g. bash) and can be configured via the fish_escape_delay_ms variable. This allows using escape as the Meta modifier. (#1356)
Add new directories for vendor functions and configuration snippets (#2498)
A new fish_realpath builtin and associated function to allow the use of realpath even on those platforms that don't ship an appropriate command. (#2932)
Alt-# toggles the current command line between commented and uncommented states, making it easy to save a command in history without executing it.
The fish_vi_mode function is now deprecated in favour of fish_vi_key_bindings
Backward-incompatible changes
Unmatched globs will now cause an error, except when used with for, set or count (#2719, #2394)
and and or will now bind to the closest if or while, allowing compound conditions without begin and end (#1428)
set -ql now searches up to function scope for variables (#2502)
status -f will now behave the same when run as the main script or using source (#2643)
source no longer puts the file name in $argv if no arguments are given (#139)
Other Notable Fixes and Improvements
Fish no longer silences errors in config.fish (#2702)
Move the history file to $XDG_DATA_HOME/fish (or ~/.local/share if it has not been set)
Directory autosuggestions will now descend as far as possible if there is only one child directory (#2531)
Add support for bright colors (#1464)
Allow Ctrl-J (\cj) to be bound separately from Ctrl-M (\cm) (#217)
psub now has a "-s"/"-suffix" option to name the temporary file with that suffix
Enable 24-bit colors on select terminals (#2495)
Support for SVN status in the prompt (#2582)
Mercurial and SVN support have been added to the Classic + Git (now Classic + VCS) prompt (via the new __fish_vcs_prompt function) (#2592)
export now handles variables with a "=" in the value (#2403)
Avoid confusing the terminal line driver with non-printing characters in fish_title(#2453)

The command-not-found-handler can now be overridden by defining a function called __fish_command_not_found_handler in config.fish (#2331)
A few fixes to the Sorin theme
PWD shortening in the prompt can now be configured via the fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length variable, set to the length per path component (#2473)
fish now ships a skeleton file for /etc/fish/config.fish that only contains some documentation, the included code has been moved to the corresponding file in /usr (#2799)
Release Notes for fish 2.2.0 (released July 12, 2015)
Significant Changes
Abbreviations: the new `abbr` command allows for interactively-expanded abbreviations, allowing quick access to frequently-used commands (#731).
Vi mode: run `fish_vi_mode` to switch fish into the key bindings and prompt familiar to users of the Vi editor (#65).
New inline and interactive pager, which will be familiar to users of zsh (#291).
Underlying architectural changes: the `fishd` universal variable server has been removed as it was a source of many bugs and security problems. Notably, old fish sessions will not be able to communicate universal variable changes with new fish sessions. For best results, restart all running instances of `fish`.
The web-based configuration tool has been redesigned, featuring a prompt theme chooser and other improvements.
New German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese translations.
Backward-incompatible changes
These are kept to a minimum, but either change undocumented features or are too hard to use in their existing forms. These changes may break existing scripts.
`commandline` no longer interprets functions "in reverse", instead behaving as expected (#1567).
The previously-undocumented `CMD_DURATION` variable is now set for all commands and contains the execution time of the last command in milliseconds (#1585). It is no longer exported to other commands (#1896).
`if` / `else` conditional statements now return values consistent with the Single Unix Specification, like other shells (#1443).
A new "top-level" local scope has been added, allowing local variables declared on the commandline to be visible to subsequent commands. (#206)
Other notable fixes and improvements
New documentation design (#1662), which requires a Doxygen version 1.8.7 or newer to build.
Fish now defines a default directory for other packages to provide completions. By default this is `/usr/share/fish/vendor-completions.d`; on systems with `pkgconfig` installed this path is discoverable with `pkg-config --variable completionsdir fish`.
A new parser removes many bugs; all existing syntax should keep working.
New `fish_preexec` and `fish_postexec` events are fired before and after job execution respectively (#1549).
Unmatched wildcards no longer prevent a job from running. Wildcards used interactively will still print an error, but the job will proceed and the wildcard will expand to zero arguments (#1482).
The `.` command is deprecated and the `source` command is preferred (#310).
`bind` supports "bind modes", which allows bindings to be set for a particular named mode, to support the implementation of Vi mode.
A new `export` alias, which behaves like other shells (#1833).
`command` has a new `--search` option to print the name of the disk file that would be executed, like other shells' `command -v` (#1540).
`commandline` has a new `--paging-mode` option to support the new pager.
`complete` has a new `--wraps` option, which allows a command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command (#393), and `complete -e` now correctly erases completions (#380).
Completions are now generated from manual pages by default on the first run of fish (#997).
`fish_indent` can now produce colorized (`--ansi`) and HTML (`--html`) output (#1827).
`functions --erase` now prevents autoloaded functions from being reloaded in the current session.
`history` has a new `--merge` option, to incorporate history from other sessions into the current session (#825).
`jobs` returns 1 if there are no active jobs (#1484).
`read` has several new options:
`--array` to break input into an array (#1540)
`--null` to break lines on NUL characters rather than newlines (#1694)
`--nchars` to read a specific number of characters (#1616)
`--right-prompt` to display a right-hand-side prompt during interactive read (#1698).
`type` has a new `-q` option to suppress output (#1540 and, like other shells, `type -a` now prints all matches for a command (#261).
Pressing F1 now shows the manual page for the current command (#1063).
`fish_title` functions have access to the arguments of the currently running argument as `$argv[1]` (#1542).
The OS command-not-found handler is used on Arch Linux (#1925), nixOS (#1852), openSUSE and Fedora (#1280).
`Alt`+`.` searches backwards in the token history, mapping to the same behavior as inserting the last argument of the previous command, like other shells (#89).
The `SHLVL` environment variable is incremented correctly (#1634 & #1693).
Added completions for `adb` (#1165 & #1211), `apt` (#2018), `aura` (#1292), `composer` (#1607), `cygport` (#1841), `dropbox` (#1533), `elixir` (#1167), `fossil`, `heroku` (#1790), `iex` (#1167), `kitchen` (#2000), `nix` (#1167), `node`/`npm` (#1566), `opam` (#1615), `setfacl` (#1752), `tmuxinator` (#1863), and `yast2` (#1739).
Improved completions for `brew` (#1090 & #1810), `bundler` (#1779), `cd` (#1135), `emerge` (#1840),`git` (#1680, #1834 & #1951), `man` (#960), `modprobe` (#1124), `pacman` (#1292), `rpm` (#1236), `rsync` (#1872), `scp` (#1145), `ssh` (#1234), `sshfs` (#1268), `systemctl` (#1462, #1950 & #1972), `tmux` (#1853), `vagrant` (#1748), `yum` (#1269), and `zypper` (#1787).
- Get rid of useless Makefile.common and pointless variables since there is
no longer a zsh-current package.
- Remove non-standard per-OS non-checksummed patch file in FILESDIR.
Integrate it correctly in the normal way.
- Ensure our patched configure.ac is actually regenerated.
- Use REPLACE_INTERPRETER instead of homegrown subst replacements.
- Remove esoteric and fragile configuration variables, a bunch of legacy OS
based options, and simply depend correctly on terminfo and curses.
- Remove custom test targets and requirements for root access, the test suite
works fine as a non-root user and can be done in the normal way.
- Use options.mk
- Set maintainer to pkgsrc-users, uebayasi resigned.
Fixes build on at least SunOS. Tested on SunOS, Darwin, NetBSD (with and
without the "static" option), and Linux.

changes:
patch 06:
Out-of-range negative offsets to popd can cause the shell to crash attempting
to free an invalid memory block.
patch 07:
When performing filename completion, bash dequotes the directory name being
completed, which can result in match failures and potential unwanted
expansion.
patch 08:
Under certain circumstances, bash will evaluate arithmetic expressions as
part of reading an expression token even when evaluation is suppressed. This
happens while evaluating a conditional expression and skipping over the
failed branch of the expression.
patch 09:
Depending on compiler optimizations and behavior, the `read' builtin may not
save partial input when a timeout occurs.
patch 10:
Depending on compiler optimizations and behavior, the `read' builtin may not
save partial input when a timeout occurs.
patch 11:
Subshells begun to run command and process substitutions may attempt to
set the terminal's process group to an incorrect value if they receive
a fatal signal. This depends on the behavior of the process that starts
the shell.

Changelog:
Changes from 5.2 to 5.3
-----------------------
It is possible to enable character width support for Unicode 9 by
configuring with `--enable-unicode9'; this compiles in some additional
tables. At some point this support may move into a module, in which
case the configure option will be changed to cause the module to be
permanently loaded. This option is not useful unless your terminal also
supports Unicode 9.
The new word modifier ':P' computes the physical path of the argument.
It is different from the existing ':a' modifier which always resolves
'/before/here/../after' to '/before/after', and differs from the
existing ':A' modifier which resolves symlinks only after 'here/..' is
removed, even when /before/here is itself a symbolic link. It is
recommended to review uses of ':A' and, if appropriate, convert them
to ':P' as soon as compatibility with 5.2 is no longer a requirement.
The output of "typeset -p" uses "export" commands or the "-g" option
for parameters that are not local to the current scope. Previously,
all output was in the form of "typeset" commands, never using "-g".
vi-repeat-change can repeat user-defined widgets if the widget calls
zle -f vichange.
The parameter $registers now makes the contents of vi register buffers
available to user-defined widgets.
New vi-up-case and vi-down-case builtin widgets bound to gU/gu (or U/u
in visual mode) for doing case conversion.
A new select-word-match function provides vim-style text objects with
configurable word boundaries using the existing match-words-by-style
mechanism.
Support for the conditional expression [[ -v var ]] to test if a
variable is set for compatibility with other shells.
The print and printf builtins have a new option -v to assign the output
to a variable. This is for bash compatibility but with the additional
feature that, for an array, a separate element is used each time the
format is reused.
New x: syntax in completion match specifications make it possible to
disable match specifications hardcoded in completion functions.
- Fix type of read in prompt confirmation (eg. rmstar) (David Kaspar)
- Fix out of bounds read (Brooks Davis)
- Don't play pointer tricks that are undefined in modern c (Brooks Davis)
- Use `` instead $() for solaris, bleh.
