55128: socket: unmetafy the socket name

2026-09-01T05:22:46Z

This also led me to discover that if you type a leading nul in zsh, it passes through correctly to linux and it gives us an abstract socket instead, so document that that works, and print them properly. Also add support for reporting the autobind socket name if you pass an empty path. The more specific size in the bind and connect calls is due to abstract sockets using the entire specified length, regardless of any embedded 0 bytes.

This was introduced in 51404.

55055: break: more completely enumerate loop types we are not in

2026-08-05T09:41:33Z

54994: use gdbm_fd_open so we can move the fd to >9

2026-07-25T05:03:05Z

This function is available since gdbm 1.13 and even debian old old stable has 1.17, so this should be fine.

54993: fail at configure time if a feature is requested and we couldn't find it

2026-07-25T05:03:05Z

54986: actually prevent FDT_MODULE fds from being closed by user

2026-07-25T05:03:05Z

The stated goal of FDT_MODULE is: /* * Entry visible to other processes but controlled by a module. * The difference from FDT_EXTERNAL is that closing this using * standard fd syntax will fail as there is some tidying up that * needs to be done by the module's own mechanism. */ #define FDT_MODULE 3 but this wasn't actually enforced. By accident, some fds ended up as FDT_INTERNAL because movefd clobbers the FDT_MODULE value and those were protected from closing. I think this straightens out all the bits properly, at least the ones I found. (Note that zsocket is using FDT_EXTERNAL purposefully because the user *is* expected to close those fds with the {myfd}>&- syntax, it has no specific interface to close opened sockets since it has no internal state for them.) Both zsocket and ztcp forgot to movefd the some of their fds which meant it was potentially in the 0-9 range, which is also not protected from being closed by the user, but: Since the -d flag allows the user to put module fds at low fds, I made the check forbid closing FDT_MODULE fds in that range too, I think that's correct? zftp did some very questionable things, relying on FDT_UNUSED fds to act approximately like it expected, instead use FDT_MODULE there too. Also make redup ensure the fdtable is big enough for the assignments after, just for consistency, since the old addmodulefd call before didn't necessarily grow it to the moved-to fd number. Remove some misleading comments like /* move the fd since no one will want to read from it */ the reason we move the fd is because we have promised the user we will not open fds in the 0-9 range. Also added maximum macro, and converted existing users of MIN/MAX to them, since we have not, as far as I can tell, made any effort to check that those macros are in fact defined by anyone.

54985: fix crash with bracketed-paste-magic and undo

2026-07-21T14:20:48Z

In particular, fc -P/-p didn't interact well with undo. Make sure we store/restore histline across those calls.

unposted: _grep: fix freebsd grep variant pattern

2026-07-09T21:23:36Z

oliver shared a user report that grep completion doesn't work properly on macos any more. this is because it no longer uses gnu grep -- it's been freebsd grep since at least 2019 there appear to be other inaccuracies in this function which we should revisit, but this will solve the issue as reported

unposted: completion: remove _mac_files_for_application

2026-07-09T06:31:52Z

as mentioned in 54915: _mac_files_for_application was previously used by _open to complete only file types appropriate for an application. this ended up being annoying in practice, especially with text editors, because they don't (can't) actually enumerate all of the file types they support. so in w/43061 i made _open stop using it since then, there has been no need for this function, and atm i don't foresee one in the future therefore we can remove it

tweaks: - set bare_glob_qual per feedback from bart (w/54897) - fix zle/bindkey loops per feedback from mikael - glob with (oN) per feedback from oliver - eliminate another loop

54783: improve checkptycmd

2026-07-04T17:56:26Z

With the previous (and now fallback) version of checkptycmd(), doing this: zpty foo 'while read; do echo hi; done' zpty (or zpty -t foo) would hang forever, which seems counterintuitive to the purpose of listing processes (or testing if a process is running).

% foo=xxx; () { echo ${2::=$foo} } yyy yyy We get the argv parameter returned when asking for "2" so use getvalue() to get a vbuf with the proper start/end set instead of making up bogus values.

54790 (tweaked): _ffmpeg: update for modern ffmpeg

2026-06-21T02:08:28Z

54771: fix a bug in nosort deduplication

2026-06-16T08:39:58Z

Introduced in 49915. Confusion in pointers could mark the wrong entries in some cases. Make sure asp is incremented to the correct entry by the outer loop's 'asp++', and don't touch sp at all. In particular, the third added test was missing the 'foo' entry: Y01completion.ztst: starting. --- expected +++ actual @@ -1,4 +1,3 @@ line: {tst }{} -NO:{foo} NO:{bar} NO:{baz} Was testing: nosort dedup with three same-string non-duplicates

2026-06-13T23:57:17Z

In particular, these two sequences were still broken after 54294: % v() { vim "$@"; }; v [suspend vim] % urxvt & [3] 12707 % bg %- bg: job already in background % fg [1] continued [exit vim] % fg before: fg: no current job after: [3] + running urxvt % sleep 100 ^Z zsh: suspended sleep 100 % bg [1] continued sleep 100 % fg before fg: no current job after: [1] - running sleep 100 The changed test expected the sole remaining job to be %- which should not be possible, and now it is properly %+ instead.
