CLI tests are now ported over to the new std.Build API and thus work properly with concurrency. * add `std.Build.addCheckFile` for creating a `std.Build.CheckFileStep`. * add `std.Build.makeTempPath`. This function is intended to be called in the `configure` phase only. It returns an absolute directory path, which is potentially going to be a source of API breakage in the future, so keep that in mind when using this function. * add `std.Build.CheckFileStep.setName`. * `std.Build.CheckFileStep`: better error message when reading the input file fails. * `std.Build.RunStep`: add a `has_side_effects` flag for when you need to override the autodetection. * `std.Build.RunStep`: add the ability to obtain a FileSource for the directory that contains the written files. * `std.Build.WriteFileStep`: add a way to write bytes to an arbitrary path - absolute or relative to the package root. Be careful with this because it updates source files. This should not be used as part of the normal build process, but as a utility occasionally run by a developer with intent to modify source files and then commit those changes to version control. A file added this way is not available with `getFileSource`. |

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
