# Changes in version 0.3.0


## Added highlighting of:

- suffix aliases (requires zsh 5.1.1 or newer):

        alias -s png=display
        foo.png

- prefix redirections:

        <foo.txt cat

- redirection operators:

        echo > foo.txt

- arithmetic evaluations:

        (( 42 ))

- $'' strings, including \x/\octal/\u/\U escapes

        : $'foo\u0040bar'

- multiline strings:

        % echo "line 1
        line 2"

- string literals that haven't been finished:

        % echo "Hello, world

- command words that involve tilde expansion:

        % ~/bin/foo


## Fixed highlighting of:

- quoted command words:

        % \ls

- backslash escapes in "" strings:

        % echo "\x41"

- noglob after command separator:

        % :; noglob echo *

- glob after command separator, when the first command starts with 'noglob':

        % noglob true; echo *

- the region (vi visual mode / set-mark-command) (issue #165)

- redirection and command separators that would be highlighted as `path_approx`

        % echo foo;‸
        % echo <‸

    (where `‸` represents the cursor location)

- escaped globbing (outside quotes)

        % echo \*


## Other changes:

- implemented compatibility with zsh's paste highlighting (issue #175)

- `$?` propagated correctly to wrapped widgets

- don't leak $REPLY into global scope


## Developer-visible changes:

- added makefile with `install` and `test` targets

- set `warn_create_global` internally

- document release process

Where does it highlight?  Just at the command  line? Or perhaps other 
situations to?

It only highlights commands that are typed into interactive shells.
What "other situations" do you have in mind?

Not sure.  Perhaps there could be some nice surprise that I haven't 
thought of but
I'd expect only typed commands, as you say.
