- Deprecate `HighlightingAssets::syntaxes()` and `HighlightingAssets::syntax_for_file_name()`. Use `HighlightingAssets::get_syntaxes()` and `HighlightingAssets::get_syntax_for_path()` instead. They return a `Result` which is needed for upcoming lazy-loading work to improve startup performance. They also return which `SyntaxSet` the returned `SyntaxReference` belongs to. See #1747, #1755, #1776, #1862 (@Enselic)
- Remove `HighlightingAssets::from_files` and `HighlightingAssets::save_to_cache`. Instead of calling the former and then the latter you now make a single call to `bat::assets::build`. See #1802, #1971 (@Enselic)
- Replace the `error::Error(error::ErrorKind, _)` struct and enum with an `error::Error` enum. `Error(ErrorKind::UnknownSyntax, _)` becomes `Error::UnknownSyntax`, etc. Also remove the `error::ResultExt` trait. These changes stem from replacing `error-chain` with `thiserror`. See #1820 (@Enselic)
- Add new `MappingTarget` enum variant `MapExtensionToUnknown`. Refer to its documentation for more information. Also mark `MappingTarget` as `#[non_exhaustive]` since more enum variants might be added in the future. See #1703 (@cbolgiano), #2012 (@Enselic)
- Fix for a security vulnerability on Windows. Prior to this release, `bat` would execute programs called `less`/`less.exe` from the current working directory (instead of the one from `PATH`) with priority. An attacker might be able to use this by placing a malicious program in a shared directory where the user would execute `bat`. `bat` users on Windows are advised to upgrade to this version. See #1724 and #1472 (@Ry0taK).
-`ansi` replaces `ansi-dark` and `ansi-light`, see #1104 and #1412 (@mk12). **Breaking change:** users that were previously using one of the `ansi-*` themes should switch to `ansi`.
- The Gruvbox theme has been updated, see #1291 (@j0hnmeow). **Breaking change:** users that were previously using `gruvbox` or `gruvbox-white` should update and use `gruvbox-dark`/`gruvbox-light` instead.
- Compilation problems with `onig_sys` on various platforms have been resolved by upgrading to `syntect 4.2`, which includes a new `onig` version that allows to build `onig_sys` without the `bindgen` dependency. This removes the need for `libclang(-dev)` to be installed to compile `bat`. Package maintainers might want to remove `clang` as a build dependency. See #650 for more details.
Beginning with this release, `bat` can be used as a library (#423).
This was a huge effort and I want to thank all people who made this possible: @DrSensor, @mitsuhiko, @mre, @eth-p!
- Initial attempt in #469 (@mitsuhiko)
- Second attempt, complete restructuring of the `bat` crate, see #679 (@DrSensor)
- Updates to example, public API, error handling, further refactoring: #693#873#875 (@sharkdp)
I want to stress that this is the very first release of the library. Things are very likely to change. A lot of things are still missing (including the documentation).
That being said, you can start using it! See the example programs in [`examples/`](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/tree/master/examples).
You can see the API documentation here: https://docs.rs/bat/
## Features
- (**Breaking change**) Glob-based syntax mapping, see #877 and #592. With this change,
users need to update their bat config files (`bat --config-file`), if they have any `--map-syntax` settings
present.
The option now works like this:
```bash
--map-syntax <glob-pattern>:<syntax-name>
```
For more information, see the `--help` text, the man page or the README.
This new feature allows us to properly highlight files like:
*`/etc/profile`
*`~/.ssh/config`
-`--highlight-line` now accepts line ranges, see #809 (@lkalir)
- Proper wrapping support for output with wide Unicode characters, see #811#787 and #815 (@Kogia-sima)
- A lot of updates to existing syntaxes via #644 (@benwaffle, @keith-hall)
-`BAT_CACHE_PATH` can be used to place cached `bat` assets in a non-standard path, see #829 (@neuronull)
- Support combination of multiple styles at the same time, see #857 (@aslpavel)
## Bugfixes
- Do not pass '--no-init' on newer less versions, see #749 and #786 (@sharkdp)
- 'bat cache' still takes precedence over existing files, see #666 (@sharkdp)

# v0.11.0
## Features
- Three new special color themes are available: `ansi-light`, `ansi-dark` and `base16`. These
are useful for people that often switch from dark to light themes in their terminal emulator
or for people that want the colors to match their terminal theme colors. For more details,
see #543 and #490 (@mk12, implementation idea by @trishume)
- Hand-written auto completion script for Fish shell, see #524 and #555 (@ev-dev and @eth-p)
- The `-p`/`--plain` option can now be used twice (typically `-pp`). The first `-p` switches the
`--style` to "plain". The second `-p` disables the pager. See #560 and #552 (@eth-p)
## Bugfixes

- Binary files will now be indicated by a warning in interactive mode, see #530#466#550 (@maxfilov)

## Changes
- **Change the default configuration directory on macOS** to `~/.config/bat`, see #442 (@lavifb). If you are on macOS, you need to copy your configuration directory from the previous place (`~/Library/Preferences/bat`) to the new place (`~/.config/bat`).

- Properly set arguments to `less` if `PAGER` environment variable contains something like `less -F` (which is missing the `-R` option), see #430 (@majecty)
- Report the name of missing files, see #444 (@ufuji1984)
- Don't start pager if file doesn't exist, see #387
- Rename `bat cache --init` to `bat cache --build`, see #498

## Features
- Added `--line-range n:m` option to print a range of lines, see #159 (@tskinn)
- The syntax highlighting theme can now be controlled by the `BAT_THEME` environment variable, see [README](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#highlighting-theme) and #177 (@mandx)

- The color for the filename is now the default foreground color. The colors for the grid and the line numbers is now determined from the syntax highlighting theme, which now also works for light backgrounds, see #178.
## Bugfixes
- Escape Sequences get partially stripped, see #182 (@eth-p)
- Use separate Git repository for snapshot testing, see #165 and #161
