    • The --suppress-startup-messages flag default value changed to true. [#2240]

    • Issue the zowe files search data-sets command with the new encoding option to use a different code page when searching data set contents. [#2161]

    • ​​Added the optional --attributes flag to zowe zos-files upload file-to-uss to allow passing a .zosattributes file path for upload encoding format. [#2319]

    • Added new command zowe zos-files download all-members-matching (zowe files dl amm) to download members matching specified pattern(s). [#2359]

    • Fixed an issue where the zowe files upload dir-to-uss command was missing a progress bar to track progress of file uploads. [#2344]

    Imperative

    • Added the ability to specify a profile with the zowe config secure command. This allows the user to prompt for the secure values of the specified profile. [#1890]

    • Fixed an issue where the zowe plugins install command could fail when installing a scoped package because the scoped registry was used to fetch all dependencies. [#2317]

    • Enabled commands with either the --help or --version flags to still display their information despite any configuration file issues. [#2301]

    • Updated --help-web commands to work even in the presence of a faulty configuration. [#2361]
