Initially the idea was to not allow this so upgrades are disabled when
the script is installed using a package manager, but this is an
unnecessary complexity. Making it less smart and more predictable.

+## [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.
