+- I like this in principal. I’m pretty damn predictable at the command line and far too lazy to make shortcuts

+z.lua is fast enough for most case, the path tracking action will be triggered each time when you change your current directory.
 
-## Reputation
+So I still recommend the pure lua script for portability and flexibility, but for someone who really care about `10ms` or `1ms` things, this module can help them to gain the ultimate speed.

-- "I like this in principal. I’m pretty damn predictable at the command line and far too lazy to make shortcuts"
-- "It feels far more intuitive and it's so incredibly convenient to be able to jump between folders I'm working in without having to traverse an entire tree. The shell used to feel so constraining for me, but tools like this are making me enjoy it so much more. "
-- "I can finally have autojump-like functionality on my Raspberry Pi 1 without waiting 30 seconds every time I open a new shell. Thanks z.lua devs."
-- "Anyway, z.lua is a promising project. If you only need directory jumping, it may be the best choice."
 
 
 ## History
 
+- 1.8.7 (2020-06-29): use lfs or luajit's cffi if possible.
+- 1.8.4 (2020-02-10): fish shell: set `$_ZL_ECHO` to global scope.
+- 1.8.3 (2020-02-09): new: `z -b -i` and `z -b -I` to jump backwards in interactive mode.
+- 1.7.4 (2019-12-29): new: `$_ZL_HYPHEN` to treat hyphen as a normal character, see [here](https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/wiki/FAQ#how-to-input-a-hyphen---in-the-keyword-).
+- 1.7.3 (2019-09-07): use [lua-filesystem](http://keplerproject.github.io/luafilesystem/) package if possible when `$_ZL_USE_LFS` is `1`.
+- 1.7.2 (2019-08-01): Improve bash/zsh shell compatibility by [@barlik](https://github.com/barlik).

+- 1.5.7 (2019-02-21): rename `$_ZL_FZF_SORT` to `$_ZL_INT_SORT` it will affect both `-i` and `-I`.
+- 1.5.6 (2019-02-20): set `$_ZL_FZF_SORT` to 1 to sort directories by alphabet in fzf.
+- 1.5.5 (2019-02-20): `$_ZL_FZF_FLAG` can be used to override fzf flags, default to "+s -e".
+- 1.5.4 (2019-02-19): fixed: file/path existence detection fails on read-only fs (closed [#49](https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/issues/49) by [@contrun](https://github.com/contrun)).
