 ## [Unreleased]
-### Added
+_No unreleased changes._
 - Also output zimfw config and zimfw.zsh script paths in `info` action,
  following symlinks if any.
 - Don't output colors if `NO_COLOR` environment variable is set to a non-empty
  value.
 ## [1.15.1] - 2024-10-10
 ### Fixed
 - Preserve original module if reinstall fails instead of removing it first.
 ## [1.15.0] - 2024-10-08
 ### Added
 - `reinstall` action, that removes and then installs again the modules that
  failed any of the checks: (See [#542](https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/issues/542))
  - module was installed with the defined tool,
  - module URL matches the defined one.
 - `--if-ostype` option to `zmodule`. This option is equivalent to
  `--if "[[ \${OSTYPE} == ${1} ]]"`.
 ### Changed
 - Ask before uninstalling each unused module, instead of asking just once for
  all.
 - Add disclaimer comment at beginning of .zimrc file.
 ## [1.14.0] - 2024-06-25
 ### Changed
 - Don't expand `${HOME}` in the init.zsh script. (See
  [#509](https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/issues/509))
 - Don't allow calling `zmodule` from the command line. Let it fail with "command
  not found" instead, as it's intended to be used only in the .zimrc script.
 - `ZIM_HOME` must be defined before sourcing zimfw.zsh. All documentation was
  already doing so, hence not considering this as a breaking change.
 - Allow zimfw.zsh to exist anywhere else, not only inside `ZIM_HOME`. This
  enables installing the zimfw.zsh script independently with a package manager.
 - Don't try to upgrade if sourced zimfw.zsh is not in a writable path.
 - Don't try actions that write to `ZIM_HOME` if user has no write permissions
  there.
 ### Fixed
 - Update error messages to hopefully make it clearer when either the git or the
  degit tool is being used.
 - Set read permissions to generated init.zsh script, so it can be read from
  other users.
