2.21.0 / 2020-01-25

Highlights

You can now hit Ctrl-C during a long reload in bash and zsh and it will not loop anymore.

Commands that use direnv_load won’t fail when there is an output to stdout anymore (eg: use_nix).

Direnv now also loads files from .config/direnv/lib/*.sh. This is intended to be used by third-party tools to augment direnv with their own stdlib functions.

The .envrc is now loaded with set -euo pipefail. This will more likely expose issues with existing .envrc files.
