vcs changes

The VCS segment can now display icons for remote repo hosting services, including Github, Gitlab, and 'other'.

dir changes

Added an option to configure the path separator. If you want something else than an ordinary slash, you could set POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_PATH_SEPARATOR to whatever you want.

truncate_with_package_name now searches for composer.json as well

Now composer.json files are searched as well. By default package.json still takes precedence. If you want to change that, set POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_PACKAGE_FILES=(composer.json package.json).

New segment command_execution_time added

Shows the duration a command needed to run. By default only durations over 3 seconds are shown (can be adjusted by setting POWERLEVEL9K_COMMAND_EXECUTION_TIME_THRESHOLD).

This segment displays a lock icon if your user has no write permissions in the current folder.

anaconda changes

Speed improvements for anaconda segment.

v0.4.0

Development changes

From now on, development makes use of a CI system "travis".

vcs changes

The default state was renamed to clean. If you overrode foreground or background color in the past, you need to rename your variables to:

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_CLEAN_FOREGROUND='cyan'
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_CLEAN_BACKGROUND='white'

Additionaly the vcs segment now has an untracked state which indicates that you have untracked files in your repository.

The foreground color of actionformat is now configurable via:

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_ACTIONFORMAT_FOREGROUND='green'

Also, the vcs segment uses the foreground color it was configured to. That said, the variables POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_FOREGROUND and POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_DARK_FOREGROUND are no longer used. Instead use the proper variable POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_<STATE>_FOREGROUND to change foreground color.

dir Shortening Strategies

There is now a path shortening strategy that will use the package.json file to shorten your directory path. See the documentation for the dir segment for more details.

Also, the shorten delimiter was changed to an unicode ellipsis. It is configurable via POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DELIMITER.

rbenv changes

The rbenv segment now makes use of the full rbenv command, so the correct ruby version is now shown if it differs from the globally one.

node, nvm Segments

Improvements to speed / reliability.

ram changes

The ram segment was split up into ram and swap. The POWERLEVEL9K_RAM_ELEMENTS variable is obsolete.

New segment swap added

v0.3.2

vcs changes

A new state UNTRACKED was added to the vcs segment. So we now have 3 states for repositories: UNTRACKED, MODIFIED, and the default state. The UNTRACKED state is active when there are files in the repository directory which have not been added to the repo (the same as when the + icon appears). The default color for the UNTRACKED state is now yellow, and the default color for the MODIFIED state is now read, but those colors can be changed by setting these variables, for example:

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MODIFIED_FOREGROUND='black'
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MODIFIED_BACKGROUND='white'
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_UNTRACKED_FOREGROUND='green'
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_UNTRACKED_BACKGROUND='blue'

v0.3.1

dir changes

A new state HOME_SUBFOLDER was added. So if you want to overwrite colors for this segment, also set this variables:

POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_HOME_SUBFOLDER_BACKGROUND='black'
POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_HOME_SUBFOLDER_FOREGROUND='white'

background_jobs changes

Now displays the number of background jobs if there's more than 1. You can disable it by setting :

POWERLEVEL9K_BACKGROUND_JOBS_VERBOSE=false

v0.3.0

Introduced "visual identifiers" to the segments

Now almost every segment can have a visual identifier, which is an icon whose color could be adjusted by users.

Added ability for "joined" segments

You can now merge segments together by suffixing the segment name with "_joined". For Developers: Be aware that the order of parameters in left/right_prompt_segment has changed. Now a boolean parameter must be set as second parameter (true if joined).

dir changes

This segment now has "state", which means you now can change the colors seperatly depending if you are in your homefolder or not. Your variables for that should now look like:

POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_HOME_BACKGROUND='green'
POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_HOME_FOREGROUND='cyan'
POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_DEFAULT_BACKGROUND='red'
POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_DEFAULT_FOREGROUND='yellow'

status changes

The status segment was split up into three segments. background_jobs prints an icon if there are background jobs. root_indicator prints an icon if the user is root. The status segment focuses now on the status only. The status segment also now has "state". If you want to overwrite the colors, you have to add the state to your variables:

POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_ERROR_BACKGROUND='green'
POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_ERROR_FOREGROUND='cyan'
POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_OK_BACKGROUND='red'
POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_OK_FOREGROUND='yellow'

New segment custom_command added

A new segment that allows users to define a custom command was added.

vcs changes

This prompt uses the VCS_INFO subsystem by ZSH. From now on this subsystem is only invoked if a vcs segment was configured.

New segment go_version added

This segment shows the GO version.

New segment nvm added

New segment todo added

This segment shows your ToDos from todo.sh.

New segment rust_version added

This segment shows your local rust version.

v0.2.0

longstatus is now status

The segments got merged together. To show the segment only if an error occurred, set POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_VERBOSE=false (this is the same behavior as the old status segment.

Icon overriding mechanism added

All icons can now be overridden by setting a variable named by the internal icon name. You can get a full list of icon name by calling get_icon_names.

Same color segements get visual separator

This separator can be controlled by setting POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_SUBSEGMENT_SEPARATOR or POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_SUBSEGMENT_SEPARATOR. By default this separator is printed in the foreground color.

dir segment has different strategies for truncation

Now you can choose between truncate_middle or truncate_from_right by setting POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_STRATEGY. Default behavior is unchanged (truncate whole directories). POWERLEVEL9K_SHORTEN_DIR_LENGTH can be used to influence how much will be truncated (either direcories or chars).
