zsh-syntax-highlighting: update to 0.8.0.
# 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].

double quotes, backticks, or dollar-single-quotes)

[#622, #689]

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]

[#582]

name happened to exist

- 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 `ionice` as a precommand

zsh option is set:

_zsh_highlight_main__command_type_cache set in enclosing scope in function \
_zsh_highlight_main__precmd_hook`
[#727, #731, #732, #733]

- Highlight arithmetic expansions (e.g., `$(( 42 ))`)

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`)
