v1.2.0

Changes since the last release

• New segments:
  • wifi: shows WiFi data transfer speed; can optionally display security level, SSID, etc.
  • asdf: tool versions from asdf.
  • taskwarrior: task counts from taskwarrior.
  • phpenv: PHP version from phpenv.
• New parameters:
  • POWERLEVEL9K_${SEGMENT}_${STATE}_SHOW_ON_UPGLOB with regular fallback; this allows you to display a prompt segment only when there is a file matching a certain pattern in the current directory, or in .., or in ../.., etc. For example: POWERLEVEL9K_NODE_VERSION_SHOW_ON_UPGLOB='package.json|node_modules' to show node_version segment only in Node project directories.
  • POWERLEVEL9K_VPN_IP_SHOW_ALL: if set to true, vpn_ip will show IPs from all matching network interfaces instead of just the first.
  • POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_TRUNCATE_BEFORE_MARKER: when set to true, drops path before the last marked directory (usually a Git repo root).
  • More fine grained control over battery colors: POWERLEVEL9K_BATTERY_${state}_{STAGES,LEVEL_BACKGROUND,LEVEL_FOREGROUND}.
  • Network transfer speed: P9K_IP_TX_RATE and P9K_IP_RX_RATE in ip segment.
• Configuration wizard:
  • Gracefully handle non-writable ~/.zshrc.
  • New segments enabled by default: asdf, taskwarrior, phpenv.
  • New segments disabled by default: php_version, laravel_version.
  • Git status now displays VCS_STATUS_PUSH_COMMITS_{AHEAD,BEHIND}.
  • Git status now displays "─" when POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_INDEX_SIZE_DIRTY is in effect.
  • Git status by default ignores the git repo rooted at $HOME; see FAQ.
  • Pure style now has context on the very left; upstream: sindresorhus/pure#530.
  • When installing the recommended font for iTerm2, detect and attempt to delete (after confirmation from the user) other versions of MesloLGS NF.
• New style: robbyrussell; not exposed through the wizard; enable it with source .../powerlevel10k/config/p10k-robbyrussell.zsh.
• Prompt performance improvements:
  • Async worker chatter is now 2x faster.
  • Prompt rendering and gitstatus_query now run in parallel; this reduces prompt latency by up to 5ms.
• Bug fixes:
  • truncate_to_last now behaves exactly like %1~.
  • Don't crap out when file names contain colon.
  • Don't crap out when using more than one prompt_char.
  • Don't crap out when PATH is empty.
  • gcloud now works when using non-default configs.
  • timewarrior segment now respects $TIMEWARRIORDB (thanks, @errantepiphany!).
  • Pick up ip and ifconfig tools from PATH (used to be /sbin/ip and /sbin/ifconfig).
  • SHOW_ON_COMMAND now works with legacy custom prompt segments.
  • Git status in Pure style now has correct number of spaces.
• Robustness improvements:
  • Work around a bug in sysread in Zsh (fixed in Zsh 5.8).
  • Replace all wide icons with narrow by default (many terminals choke on wide icons).
  • Replace terraform icons with another (emacs crashes on the old icon).
  • Prompt should now function even when locale is misconfigured as long as there is at least one UTF-8 locale installed on the system.
  • Workarounds for Zsh bugs in handling of ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0 are now applied in more cases.
• gitstatus:
  • Support repositories where .git is a symbolic link.
  • Support repositories with preciousObjects extension.
  • Add VCS_STATUS_PUSH_{REMOTE_NAME,REMOTE_URL,COMMITS_AHEAD,COMMITS_BEHIND}: similar to VCS_STATUS_{REMOTE_NAME,REMOTE_URL,COMMITS_AHEAD,COMMITS_BEHIND} but for @push remote.
  • Add VCS_STATUS_NUM_SKIP_WORKTREE and VCS_STATUS_NUM_ASSUME_UNCHANGED: the number of files in the index with --skip-worktree and --assume-unchanged bits respectively.
  • Support Cygwin on older versions of Windows.
  • Completely rewritten Zsh API (similar to async worker in powerlevel10k); this makes startup about 5x faster and should be more robust.
  • The gitstatusd binary is now looked up as follows:
    1. If GITSTATUS_DAEMON is an absolute path, use that.
    2. Else if GITSTATUS_DAEMON is a valid command name (PATH lookup), use that.
    3. Else if GITSTATUS_DAEMON is not empty, try $gitstatus_dir/{usrbin,bin}/$GITSTATUS_DAEMON (in this order).
    4. Else try $gitstatus_dir/{usrbin,bin}/gitstatusd-$os-$arch{,-static} (in this order).

v1.1

Changes since the last release

• Complete documentation overhaul. Powerlevel10k documentation is no longer embarrassing (still no reference though; coming "soon").
• Worker pool and recursive globber have been rewritten for better performance and simpler code. Performance improvements (large speedup means an improvement in big-O and at least 2x in typical configurations):
  • +15% prompt speedup across the board.
  • Large prompt speedup for several rarely used prompt segments (disk_usage, ram, etc.).
  • Large prompt speedup for a few prompt segments on macOS (battery, swap, etc.).
  • Large prompt speedup when many prompt segments are active simultaneously.
  • Large prompt speedup when filesystem is slow.
• New prompt segments: nix_shell and timewarrior. Both enabled by default.
• Configuration wizard:
  • Many new options for Pure style (color scheme, number of lines, etc.)
  • Several new options for 8-color version of Pure style.
  • Better support for terminals with less than 256 colors.
  • Lean, Classic and Rainbow style configs now have disk_usage and swap prompt segments (disabled by default).
  • POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_TRUNCATE_BEFORE_MARKER now contains 'oc'.
• New parameters:
  • POWERLEVEL9K_LEGACY_ICON_SPACING=true makes spaces around icons appear just like in powerlevel9k.
  • When in a vcs repo, POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_TRUNCATE_BEFORE_MARKER=true removes directory prefix that precedes repo root.
  • P9K_KUBECONTEXT_USER can now be used in kubecontext format.
  • POWERLEVEL9K_GOENV_SOURCES -- the same as POWERLEVEL9K_RBENV_SOURCES but or go.
  • POWERLEVEL9K_TERRAFORM_CLASSES -- the same as POWERLEVEL9K_AWS_CLASSES but for terraform.
• Bug fixes:
  • Configuration wizard now correctly follows symlinks when modifying ~/.zshrc and ~/.p10k.zsh.
  • ram prompt segment now works on WSL.
  • Powerlevel10k now correctly works with zsh-you-should-use in hardcore mode.
  • POWERLEVEL9K_PUBLIC_IP_HOST now points to a host that actually works.
  • Instant prompt no longer prints nonsensical "entry=" in rare circumstances.
• Misc:
  • Config templates no longer work with POWERLEVEL9K_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER='' defined after them.
  • Powerlevel10k now detects when Antigen corrupts its source and emits an appropriate error message.
  • Command line parser now understands 'tabbed'.
  • Remove all references to romkatv/dotfiles-public. Fonts are now hosted in romkatv/powerlevel10k-media together with all images and animations.
