2026-07-09T00:06:18Z

2026-07-08T20:39:16Z

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).

54889: comparguments: always parse optargs as optargs

2026-07-03T11:59:42Z

54876: comparguments: search more thoroughly for foreign-set options

2026-07-03T11:59:40Z

2026-07-02T13:29:32Z

54847 + 54849 (dana): skip only 88- or 256-color tests

2026-06-23T04:29:59Z

54792: prevent named references from being entered as named directories

2026-06-23T04:29:59Z

54822: the ::= fix in 54674 was incomplete

2026-06-21T07:26:14Z

% 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.

54773: params: make out-of-range (w) subscript index work like others

2026-06-21T00:48:39Z

54768: completion: use `zformat -q` for formatting

2026-06-21T00:27:09Z

54767: zformat: replace -qn by spec quoting indicator syntax

2026-06-21T00:17:54Z

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

54762: make curjob and prevjob work better

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.

54753: zpty: register pty fd as FDT_MODULE so it isn't closed when forking

2026-06-13T23:57:17Z

This lets us remove these mysterious braces too.

54751: make the W02 test not take a full minute on linux

2026-06-13T23:57:17Z

Apparently on OSX (and BSD kernels?) the pty device won't wait for every last process closing its reference, but on Linux it does. We can just set up the sleep commands to close their fds since they aren't using them anyway.

54721: illegal -> invalid, invalid option -> bad option

2026-06-13T23:57:17Z

Combinations of options can remain invalid, though.

54710: handle multibyte arguments in error messages

2026-06-13T23:56:15Z

A lot of places check option strings char by char, then send that char to zwarn/zerr, instead of reading out the full multibyte character. Doing so is quite easy with unmeta_one in most cases, so just go ahead and do that. The print functions in fact expect a wchar_t for %c anyway. Also renames "unknown option" to "bad option" because that's what every other place calls it (also one place was missing the colon, added that). To reproduce the math errors, since it's slightly less obvious (you need a multibyte character that is also an invalid parameter name, otherwise it actually works fine) % zsh -c '(( ¯ ))' zsh:1: bad math expression: illegal character: ^ % zsh -c 'zmodload zsh/mathfunc; (( sin(1¯) ))' zsh:1: bad math expression: illegal character: ^ % zsh -c 'の=5; echo $(( の ))' # unchanged because it is working 5 Also adds some tests because B12 was looking very empty, not sure if this is the correct way to handle the intersection of possibly not compiled module with possibly not available UTF-8 locale, but X02 and some others do a similar thing with ZSH_TEST_LANG, though in those cases that's handled specially by comptest, not the test itself.

54677: tests: improve readability

Reported in 50991 and introduced in 22525.

54688: handle Stéphane correctly

2026-06-10T03:20:51Z

In the original report we had [[ é = *$'\xa9' ]] which has op == P_STAR, in this case charstart is filled out inline, in the other cases it's done by the patrepeat function. If ptlen > P_LS_LEN(next) we have returned, if it is < then we have backtracked into the region where charstart is valid and we can check that, and finally if they are equal we know we are on a valid character boundary (but charstart might not be valid here, in fact multiple tests fail if you leave out the ptlen check). Separately, % [[ éé = é#$'\xa9' ]]; echo $? pattern.c:4113: closure following more than one character 0 % [[ éé = (é)#$'\xa9' ]]; echo $? 1 so just treat multibyte single characters as "not simple", which fixes that case too.

54674: ::= didn't respect parameter flags

2026-06-10T03:20:50Z

The documentation says ${name::=word} In the first form, if name is unset then set it to word; in the second form, if name is unset or null then set it to word; and in the third form, unconditionally set name to word. In all forms, the value of the parameter is then substituted. Particularly that "the value of the parameter is substituted", not "the word is substituted". This is what happens before the fix, and similarly for array flags like "unique": % typeset -E3 fl; hi=5; echo ${fl::=hi} hi % echo $fl 5.00e+00

54676: preserve COLUMNS + LINES from the environment

2026-06-09T00:53:13Z

54617: fix lookup in $commands array when hashlistall is unset

2026-06-04T03:45:50Z

While the documentation for the zsh/parameter module does state The zsh/parameter module gives access to some of the internal hash tables and commands This array gives access to the command hash table. , the latter entry does *also* say values are the pathnames of the files that would be executed when the command would be invoked. Change getpmcommand to always do a lookup via findcmd() if it the entry is not found in the hash and HASHLISTALL is unset. This will indirectly respect HASHCMDS and add the single entry if it is set, look it up in the hash if it was added and then HASHCMDS was unset, etc.
