Dec 1, 2025December 2025: Focused on improving globbing reliability and redirection semantics in zsh. Fixed a bug where non-matching patterns redirected to a path would not surface an error when NULL_GLOB is set. The fix ensures an explicit error is emitted for such cases, aligning with MULTIOS semantics and improving scripting robustness. This work reduces silent failures and strengthens overall shell behavior.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 highlights: Focused build-system hygiene in the zsh project, delivering a feature that excludes artifacts from the make clean target in alignment with .gitignore policy. This reduces artifact churn and prevents stale files from being removed unintentionally. Documentation and example Makefiles were updated to reflect the new behavior, improving contributor guidance and consistency across the repository. The change is traceable to commit 51cb3f0f83649b7ca59d62447519f7ea53fb5ec4 (unposted: 'remove a few more files by \"make clean\"').
