| post | New release: boxes v2.0.0 | 2021-02-15 22:00:00 +0100 | v2.0.0 |
A major update which brings Unicode support for input text and PCRE2 regular expressions:
-
We finally have Unicode support for input and output text as per [#1](https://github.com/{{ site.github }}/issues/1). In fact, most character sets on your system should now be supported. Boxes picks up your system encoding, but you can override that by using
-n, e.g.-n UTF-8. -
We adopted Semantic Versioning. This is a new major release.
-
ANSI escape sequences are now supported in the input text. This means you can pipe your text through lolcat and still get correct boxes around it. Thanks to residualmind!
-
The regular expression engine was upgraded to state-of-the-art PCRE2. This means you have more powerful regular expression syntax at your disposal. It also means that any backreferences in your config file are now
$1instead of\1. -
Due to the above changes, {{ site.name }} now has a runtime dependency on libunistring and pcre2. This is only relevant for package maintainers or people who build from source.
-
Some deprecated box designs were dropped (netdata, tjc, c-cmt3, and ccel). If you miss them, you can get them back from an old version of the config file.
