Instead of 100 ms - 50 ms, startup takes 10 ms - 5 ms.
HighlightingAssets::get_syntax_set() is never called when e.g. piping the bat
output to a file (see Config::loop_through), so by loading the SyntaxSet only
when needed, we radically improve startup time when it is not needed.
Or rather, introduce new versions of these methods and deprecate the old ones.
This is preparation to enable robust and user-friendly support for lazy-loading.
With lazy-loading, we don't know if the SyntaxSet is valid until after we try to
use it, so wherever we try to use it, we need to return a Result. See discussion
about panics in #1747.
Using BufReader makes sense for large files, but assets are never large enough
to require buffering. It is significantly faster to load the file contents in
one go, so let's do that instead.
Closes#1753
Do not ignore `BAT_CONFIG_PATH` if it doesn't exist. Both when
generating a new config file with `--generate-config-file` and
when attempting to read the config.
Also, provide a better error message in case the file can not
be created.
closes#1550
As discussed in #1519, the batcat snap package is too problematic for
official endorsement, so withdraw recommendation from README.me (and
remove section from CHANGELOG.md since a release with it has not been
made yet).
This combines ansi-light and ansi-dark into a single theme that works
with both light and dark backgrounds. Instead of specifying white/black,
the ansi theme uses the terminal's default foreground/background color
by setting alpha=01, i.e. #00000001. This is in addition to the alpha=00
encoding where red contains an ANSI color palette number.
Now, `--theme ansi-light` and `--theme ansi-dark` will print a
deprecation notice and use ansi instead (unless the user has a custom
theme named ansi-light or ansi-dark, which would take precedence).
The macOS version of mktemp does not recognize the --suffix option.
Using pure -d should work since, it seems [1], macOS 10.11 however.
So to make the script work on macOS, stop using the --suffix option.
The downside is of course that the temporary dir will have an anonymous
name, but I see no risk of confusion given how short-lived the usage of
the dir is, and given the context it is used.

This fixes#1438.
Note however, that using a pager such as less will add a newline itself.
So to actually not print a newline for such files, you need to either
disable paging:
bat --style=plain --paging=never no-newline-at-end-of-file.txt
or use a "pager" that does not add a newline:
bat --style=plain --pager=cat no-newline-at-end-of-file.txt
Note that we also update syntax tests file since a bunch of them had
missing newlines on the last lines.
Bat already has a base16 theme. The new base16-256 theme is for users
of base16-shell, who configure their terminal with a 256-color variant
of a base16 theme. These variants put some of the base16 colors in
elsewhere in the 256-color table to avoid clobbering bright color slots
(ansi codes 8 to 15) with colors that don't respect the ordinary meaning
of that slot (e.g. bright green in ordinary base16 is not green).
