Hey all,

This release of ZVM is small but mighty.

User-facing changes

  • Install specific Zig development builds such as 0.16.0-dev.1334+06d08daba.

    • Downloads directly from ziglang.org/builds.
    • Supports platform-specific .tar.xz and .zip archives.
    • Retains Minisign verification.
    • Provides a clearer warning when an old development build
      returns 404.

  • Added zvm install --skip-shasum / -s.

    • Works for Zig and ZLS.

    • Skips SHA-256 verification and the missing-checksum
      confirmation.

    • Official Minisign verification remains enabled.

  • Added zvm list-remote with the ls-remote alias.

    • Added --json for machine-readable output.

    • Improved the human-readable table, including installed, ZLS,
      local/remote master, and outdated indicators.

    • zvm ls --all still works but now emits a deprecation warning.

  • Improved CLI presentation.

    • Colorized help-section headings.
      One issue with this is that if you run zvm --color off --help the colorized help will still print as it is rendered before --color affects the underlying settings. The next time you run --help it will be uncolored.
    • Static Fish completions.
    • Completion generation remains available for Bash, Zsh, Fish,
      and PowerShell.

  • Improved the Unix installer.

    • Shell configuration only adds ZVM paths when ZVM_INSTALL
      exists.

    • Removed the unnecessary trailing slash from the install path.

    • Added clearer Linux, BSD, macOS, and Nix PATH documentation.

Internal and release changes

  • Reworked the Deno release builder to:

    • Limit concurrent builds to available CPUs.
    • Stream archive creation.
    • Overlap compilation and compression.
    • Remove uncompressed artifacts earlier, reducing peak disk
      usage.

  • Centralized CLI error handling and added quiet/cleanup-aware
    failure directives.

  • Fixed completion-related unit-test behavior.

  • Corrected the installer workflow to target the repository’s master
    branch.

  • Updated Go and Deno dependencies.

  • Added tests for development builds, checksums, completion output,
    and upgrade edge cases.

  • Added repository documentation and CI housekeeping.
