# Changes in HEAD
## 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 5.8.0.3 and newer, due to interoperability issues with other plugins
(issues #418 and #579). The underlying zsh feature has been available since
zsh 5.2.
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).
# 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].
(#90, part of #245 (feature/redrawhook))
[zshcompsys-Standard-Styles]: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Completion-System.html#Standard-Styles
[zshcompsys-Standard-Styles-format]: http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Completion-System.html#index-format_002c-completion-style
## Other changes:
- Document `$ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_MAXLENGTH`.
[#698]
- Optimize highlighting unquoted words (words that are not in single quotes, double quotes, backticks, or dollar-single-quotes)
[#730]
- Redirection operators (e.g., `<` and `>`) are now highlighted by default
[#646]
- Propertly terminate `noglob` scope in try/always blocks
[#577]
- Don't error out when `KSH_ARRAYS` is set in the calling scope
[#622, #689]
- Literal semicolons in array assignments (`foo=( bar ; baz )`) are now
highlighted as errors.
[3ca93f864fb6]
- Command separators in array assignments (`foo=( bar | baz )`) are now
highlighted as errors.
[#651, 81267ca3130c]
- Support parameter elision in command position (e.g., `$foo ls` where `$foo` is unset or empty)
[#667]
- Don't consider the filename in `sudo -e /path/to/file` to be a command position
[#678]
- Don't look up absolute directory names in $cdpath
[2cc2583f8f12, part of #669]
- Fix `exec 2>&1;` being highlighted as an error.
[#676]
- Fix `: $(<*)` being highlighted as globbing.
[#582]
- Fix `cat < *` being highlighting as globbing when the `MULTIOS` option is unset.
[#583]
- Fix `echo >&2` highlighting the `2` as a filename if a file by that name happened to exist
[#694, part of #645]
- Fix `echo >&-` highlighting the `-` as a filename if a file by that name happened to exist
[part of #645]
- Fix `echo >&p` highlighting the `p` as a filename if a file by that name happened to exist
[part of #645]
- Fix wrong highlighting of unquoted parameter expansions under zsh 5.2 and older
[e165f18c758e]
- Highlight global aliases
[#700]
- Highlight `: =nosuchcommand' as an error (when the `EQUALS` option hasn't been unset).
[#430]
- Highlight reserved word after assignments as errors (e.g., `foo=bar (ls;)`)
[#461]
- Correctly highlight `[[ foo && bar || baz ]]`.
- Highlight non-executable files in command position correctly (e.g., `% /etc/passwd`)
[#202, #669]
- Highlight directories in command position correctly, including `AUTO_CD` support
[#669]
- Recognize `env` as a precommand (e.g., `env FOO=bar ls`)
- Recognize `strace` as a precommand
- Fix an error message on stderr before every prompt when the `WARN_NESTED_VAR` zsh option is set:
`_zsh_highlight_main__precmd_hook:1: array parameter _zsh_highlight_main__command_type_cache set in enclosing scope in function _zsh_highlight_main__precmd_hook`
[#727, #731, #732, #733]
- Fix highlighting of alias whose definitions use a simple command terminator
(such as `;`, `|`, `&&`) before a newline
[#677; had regressed in 0.7.0]
- Highlight arithmetic expansions (e.g., `$(( 42 ))`)
[#607 #649 #704]
- Highlight the parentheses of array assignments as reserved words (`foo=( bar )`).
The `assign` style remains supported and has precedence.
[#585]
- Fix interoperability issue with other plugins that use highlighting. The fix
requires zsh 5.8.0.3 or newer. (zsh 5.8.0.2-dev from the `master` branch,
revision zsh-5.8-172-gdd6e702ee or newer is also fine.)
[#418, https://github.com/okapia/zsh-viexchange/issues/1]
- Improve performance of the `brackets` highlighter.
- Fix highlighting of pre-command redirections (e.g., the `$fn` in `<$fn cat`)
[#712]
# Changes in version 0.7.1
- Remove out-of-date information from the 0.7.0 changelog.
# Changes in version 0.7.0

highlighting for specific directories
[#379]
- Add the "regexp" highlighter, modelled after the pattern highlighter
[4e6f60063f1c]
- When a word uses globbing, only the globbing metacharacters will be highlighted as globbing:
in `: foo*bar`, only the `*` will be blue.
[e48af357532c]
- Highlight pasted quotes (e.g., `: foo"bar"`)
[dc1b2f6fa4bb]
- Highlight command substitutions (`` : `ls` ``, `: $(ls)`)
[c0e64fe13178 and parents, e86f75a840e7, et al]
- Highlight process substitutions (`: >(nl)`, `: <(pwd)`, `: =(git diff)`)

- Fix off-by-one highlighting in vi "visual" mode (vicmd keymap)
[be3882aeb054]

(b9112aec798a, 38c8fbea2dd2)
## Added highlighting of:

- Aliases that cannot be defined normally nor invoked normally (highlighted as an error).
(#263 (in part), 28932316cca6)
- Path separators (`/`) — the default behaviour remains to highlight path separators
and path components the same way.
(#136, #260, 6cd39e7c70d3, 9a934d291e7c, f3d3aaa00cc4)
- Assignments to individual positional arguments (`42=foo` to assign to `$42`).
(f4036a09cee3)

(#267, a7a7f8b42280, ee07588cfd9b)
- Command-lines recalled by `isearch` mode; requires zsh≥5.3.
(#261 (in part); #257; 4ad311ec0a68)
- Command-lines whilst the `IGNORE_BRACES` or `IGNORE_CLOSE_BRACES` option is in effect.
(a8a6384356af, 02807f1826a5)

- Mismatched `do`/`done` keywords.
(b2733a64da93)
- Mismatched `foreach`/`end` keywords.
(#96, 2bb8f0703d8f)
- In Bourne-style function definitions, when the `MULTI_FUNC_DEF` option is set
(which is the default), highlight the first word in the function body as
a command word: `f() { g "$@" }`.
(6f91850a01e1)
- `always` blocks.
(#335, e5782e4ddfb6)
- Command substitutions inside double quotes, `"$(echo foo)"`.
(#139 (in part), c3913e0d8ead)

(4afe670f7a1b, 44ef6e38e5a7)

This also adds an `arg0` style that all other command word styles fall back to.
(b4537a972eed, bccc3dc26943)
- Escaped history expansions inside double quotes: `: "\!"`
(28d7056a7a06, et seq)
## Fixed highlighting of:

- "division by zero" error under the `brackets` highlighter when `$ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES` is empty.
(f73f3d53d3a6)
- Process substitutions, `<(pwd)` and `>(wc -l)`.
(#302, 6889ff6bd2ad, bfabffbf975c, fc9c892a3f15)
- The non-`SHORT_LOOPS` form of `repeat` loops: `repeat 42; do true; done`.
(#290, 4832f18c50a5, ef68f50c048f, 6362c757b6f7)

- Lines accepted from `isearch` mode.
(#284; #257, #259, #288; 5bae6219008b, a8fe22d42251)
- 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))
- After accepting a line with the cursor on a bracket, the matching bracket
of the bracket under the cursor no longer remains highlighted (with the
`brackets` highlighter).

- The first word on a new line within an array assignment or initialization is no
longer considered a command position.

(a830613467af, fd061b5730bf, eaa4335c3441, among others)
- Module author documentation improvements.
(#306 (in part), 217669270418, 0ff354b44b6e, 80148f6c8402, 364f206a547f, and others)
- The driver no longer defines a `_zsh_highlight_${highlighter}_highlighter_cache`
variable, which is in the highlighters' namespace.
(3e59ab41b6b8, 80148f6c8402, f91a7b885e7d)
- Rename highlighter entry points. The old names remain supported for
backwards compatibility.
(a3d5dfcbdae9, c793e0dceab1)
- tests: Add the "NONE" expectation.
(4da9889d1545, 13018f3dd735, d37c55c788cd)

(6aa57d60aa64, f0bae44b76dd)
- tests: Create a script that generates a test file.
(8013dc3b8db6, et seq; `tests/generate.zsh`)
## Other changes:
- Under zsh≤5.2, widgets whose names start with a `_` are no longer excluded
from highlighting.
(ed33d2cb1388; reverts part of 186d80054a40 which was for #65)

(z-sy-h already sets `WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL` internally.)
(da60234fb236)
- Warn only once, rather than once per keypress, when a highlighter is unavailable.
(0a9b347483ae)
