v0.40.8

Bug Fixes - `nvm_alias`, `nvm_version_path`: reject `..` path components - `nvm_get_make_jobs`: count cores on platforms the `case` does not name - `nvm-exec`: improve the no-version failure message - `nvm use`: do not clobber `man`'s default search path (#3890) - `nvm_err`, `nvm_err_with_colors`: do not fail when stderr is closed (#3907) - `nvm_hash_reset`: only run `hash -r` where the shell supports it - `nvm_alias`: unset zsh's `extendedglob` while reading an alias file (#3891) - zsh: restore `nomatch` and `markdirs` rather than clobbering them - `nvm --help`: render the set-colors legend in color (#3915) - `nvm unload`: drop the undefined `nvm_format_help_message_colors` - `nvm_get_mirror`: allow ports, userinfo, IPv6 hosts, and percent-encoding - `nvm_sanitize_auth_header`: allow `~`, completing RFC 7235 `token68` (#3751) Refactors - `nvm --help`: extract the set-colors legend into `nvm_print_color_legend` Performance - Optimize nvm_tree_contains_path with in-memory POSIX parent-walk (#3912) Docs - [readme] document platforms with no official node binaries - `install.sh`: Fix missing words in bash/zsh completion message (#3887) - Remove stray closing HTML tag (#3919) Misc - [meta] remove CLAUDE.md symlink in favor of AGENTS.md (#3928) - [meta] add `release-notes.sh`, the release notes generator Tests - homebrew/actions changed their default branch - [actions] WSL: pin every distribution, and test the newest of each line - `nvm_print_color_legend`: look up the function with `PATH` emptied - `nvm_print_color_legend`: check for the function, not a same-named file - `nvm_print_color_legend`: fix the `fast` suite on GNU userlands - [actions] `release.yml`: provide `GH_TOKEN` so release-notes PR lookup can run

 To **install** or **update** nvm, you should run the [install script][2]. To do that, you may either download and run the script manually, or use the following [cURL](https://curl.se) or [Wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/) command:
 ```sh
-curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.7/install.sh | bash
+curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.8/install.sh | bash

+wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.8/install.sh | bash
 ```

 Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to `~/.nvm`, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`). If you find the install script is updating the wrong profile file, set the `$PROFILE` env var to the profile file’s path, and then rerun the installation script.

 - The installer can use [`git`](https://git-scm.com/), `curl`, or `wget` to download `nvm`, whichever is available.

- You can instruct the installer to not edit your shell config (for example if you already get completions via a [zsh nvm plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/nvm)) by setting `PROFILE=/dev/null` before running the `install.sh` script.

 _Note: Alpine 3.5 can only install NodeJS versions up to v6.9.5, Alpine 3.6 can only install versions up to v6.10.3, Alpine 3.7 installs versions up to v8.9.3, Alpine 3.8 installs versions up to v8.14.0, Alpine 3.9 installs versions up to v10.19.0, Alpine 3.10 installs versions up to v10.24.1, Alpine 3.11 installs versions up to v12.22.6, Alpine 3.12 installs versions up to v12.22.12, Alpine 3.13 & 3.14 install versions up to v14.20.0, Alpine 3.15 & 3.16 install versions up to v16.16.0 (**These are all versions on the main branch**). Alpine 3.5 - 3.12 required the package [`python2`](https://www.python.org/) to build NodeJS, as they are older versions to build. Alpine 3.13+ requires `python3` to successfully build newer NodeJS versions, but you can use `python2` with Alpine 3.13+ if you need to build versions of node supported in Alpine 3.5 - 3.15, you just need to specify what version of NodeJS you need to install in the package install script._
