Changed

• Don't expand ${HOME} in the init.zsh script. (See #509)
• Don't allow calling zmodule from the command line. Let it fail with "command not found" instead, as it's intended to be used only in the .zimrc script.
• ZIM_HOME must be defined before sourcing zimfw.zsh. All documentation was already doing so, hence not considering this as a breaking change.
• Allow zimfw.zsh to exist anywhere else, not only inside ZIM_HOME. This enables installing the zimfw.zsh script independently with a package manager.
• Don't try to upgrade if sourced zimfw.zsh is not in a writable path.
• Don't try actions that write to ZIM_HOME if user has no write permissions there.

Fixed

• Update error messages to hopefully make it clearer when either the git or the degit tool is being used.
• Set read permissions to generated init.zsh script, so it can be read from other users.

Fixed

• The --strip option in tar command is not BSD compatible.

Added

• --if-command option to zmodule. This option is equivalent to --if "(( \${+commands[${1}]} ))".
• mkdir tool option in zmodule that creates an empty directory. This allows creating modules that contain only externally generated files.

Fixed

• Expansion of prompt sequences in print statements causing text between backticks to be executed by the shell.

Added

• check-version action, that immediately checks if a new version of zimfw is available and returns code 4 if there is one.
• check action, that checks if there are updates available for current modules.
• Output of LANG and LC_* parameters in info action.

Changed

• Don't resolve symlinks when building init.zsh.

Fixed

• Show warning when there's no write permission to compile Zsh scripts.

Deprecated

• check-dumpfile action. The completion module alone now handles checking the dumpfile. (See zimfw/completion#12)

Fixed

• Quote path names in init.zsh to properly handle path names with spaces.

Fixed

• Use _zim_dumpfile_fpath defined by the completion module here, right before compinit is run, to more accurately do zimfw check-dumpfile.

Added

• --if option to zmodule that will only initialize the module root if the specified test returns a zero exit status. The test is evaluated at every new terminal startup.
• Ability to customize the .zimrc file name and path with the ZIM_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

Added

• --root option to zmodule. Combined with the ability to call zmodule multiple times for the same module, this allows initializing from multiple roots in repositories like prezto or ohmyzsh. Also, --on-pull and --disable now work on a per-module-root basis.

Changed

• Show OSTYPE, TERM, TERM_PROGRAM and TERM_PROGRAM_VERSION environment variables instead of calling the uname -a command to show system info in the zimfw info action.
