Performance improvements:

We thank Sebastian Gniazdowski and "m0viefreak" for significant contributions in this area.

  • Optimize string operations in the main (default) highlighter. (#372/3cb58fd7d7b9, 02229ebd63, ef4bfe5bcc, #372/c6b6513ac0d6, #374/15461e7d21c3)

  • Command word highlighting: Use the zsh/parameter module to avoid forks. Memoize (cache) the results. (#298, 3ce01076b5, 2f18ba64e3, 12b879caf7a6; #320, 3b67e656bf)

  • Avoid forks in the driver and in the root highlighter. (b9112aec79, 38c8fbea2d)

Added highlighting of:

  • pkexec (a precommand). (#248, 4f3910cbba)

  • Aliases that cannot be defined normally nor invoked normally (highlighted as an error). (#263 (in part), 28932316cc)

  • Path separators (/) — the default behaviour remains to highlight path separators and path components the same way. (#136, #260, 6cd39e7c70, 9a934d291e, f3d3aaa00c)

  • Assignments to individual positional arguments (42=foo to assign to $42). (f4036a09ce)

  • Linewise region (the visual-line-mode widget, bound to V in zsh's vi keymap). (#267, a7a7f8b422, ee07588cfd)

  • Command-lines recalled by isearch mode; requires zsh≥5.3. (#261 (in part); #257; 4ad311ec0a)

  • Command-lines whilst the IGNORE_BRACES or IGNORE_CLOSE_BRACES option is in effect. (a8a6384356, 02807f1826)

  • Mismatched parentheses and braces (in the main highlighter). (51b9d79c3b, 2fabf7ca64, a4196eda5e, and others)

  • Mismatched do/done keywords. (b2733a64da)

  • Mismatched foreach/end keywords. (#96, 2bb8f0703d)

  • 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 "$@" }. (6f91850a01)

  • always blocks. (#335, e5782e4ddf)

  • Command substitutions inside double quotes, "$(echo foo)". (#139 (in part), c3913e0d8e)

  • Non-alphabetic parameters inside double quotes ("$$", "$#", "$*", "$@", "$?", "$-"). (4afe670f7a, 44ef6e38e5)

  • Command words from future versions of zsh (forward compatibly). This also adds an arg0 style that all other command word styles fall back to. (b4537a972e, bccc3dc269)

  • Escaped history expansions inside double quotes: : "\!" (28d7056a7a, et seq)

Fixed highlighting of:

  • Command separator tokens in syntactically-invalid positions. (09c4114eb9)

  • Redirections with a file descriptor number at command word. (#238 (in part), 73ee7c1f6c)

  • The select prompt, $PS3. (#268, 451665cb2a)

  • Values of variables in vared. (e500ca2462)

  • ! as an argument (neither a history expansion nor a reserved word). (4c23a2fd1b)

  • "division by zero" error under the brackets highlighter when $ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_STYLES is empty. (f73f3d53d3)

  • Process substitutions, <(pwd) and >(wc -l). (#302, 6889ff6bd2, bfabffbf97, fc9c892a3f)

  • The non-SHORT_LOOPS form of repeat loops: repeat 42; do true; done. (#290, 4832f18c50, ef68f50c04, 6362c757b6)

  • Broken symlinks (are now highlighted as files). (#342, 95f7206a93, 53083da821)

  • Lines accepted from isearch mode. (#284; #257, #259, #288; 5bae621900, a8fe22d422)

  • 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, 51614ca2c9, fdaeec4514, 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). (4c4baede51)

  • The first word on a new line within an array assignment or initialization is no longer considered a command position. (8bf423d16d)

  • Subshells that end at command position, (A=42), (true;). (#231, 7fb6f9979121; #344, 4fc35362ee)

  • Command word after array assignment, a=(lorem ipsum) pwd. (#330, 7fb6f99791)

API changes (for highlighter authors):

Developer-visible changes:

  • Under zsh≤5.2, shell-unsafe widget names can now be wrapped. (#278, 6a634fac9f, et seq)

  • Correct some test expectations. (78290e043b)

  • Fix warnings when WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL is set prior to sourcing zsh-syntax-highlighting. (z-sy-h already sets WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL internally.) (da60234fb2)

  • Warn only once, rather than once per keypress, when a highlighter is unavailable. (0a9b347483)

Changes in version 0.4.1

Fixes:

  • Arguments to widgets were not properly dash-escaped. Only matters for widgets that take arguments (i.e., that are invoked as zle ${widget} -- ${args}). (282c7134e8, reverts c808d2187a)

repeat 10 do ls; done

    echo Hello # comment

  • closing brackets of arithmetic expansion, subshells, and blocks (#226, a59f442d2d, et seq)

    (( foo ))
( foo )
{ foo }

  • command names enabled by the PATH_DIRS option (#228, 96ee5116b1)

# and 'setopt PATH_DIRS' is in effect
foo/bar

  • parameter expansions with braces inside double quotes (#186, 6e3720f39d)

    echo "${foo}"

  • parameter expansions in command word (#101, 4fcfb15913)

  • Refresh highlighting upon accept-* widgets (accept-line et al). (59fbdda64c)

  • Stop leaking match/mbegin/mend to global scope (thanks to upstream WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL improvements). (d3deffbf46)

  • 'make install': Permit setting $(SHARE_DIR) from the environment. (e1078a8b4c)
