0.4.6 Current release
* https://github.com/tartley/colorama/pull/139 Add alternative to 'init()',
called 'just_fix_windows_console'. This fixes many longstanding problems
with 'init', such as working incorrectly on modern Windows terminals, and
wonkiness when init gets called multiple times. The intention is that it
just makes all Windows terminals treat ANSI the same way as other terminals
do. Many thanks the njsmith for fixing our messes.
* https://github.com/tartley/colorama/pull/352 Support Windows 10's ANSI/VT
console. This didn't exist when Colorama was created, and avoiding us
causing havok there is long overdue. Thanks to segeviner for the initial
approach, and to njsmith for getting it merged.
* https://github.com/tartley/colorama/pull/338 Internal overhaul of package
metadata declaration, which abolishes our use of the now heavily
discouraged setuptools (and hence setup.py, setup.cfg and MANIFEST.in), in
favor of hatchling (and hence pyproject.toml), generously contributed by
ofek (author of hatchling). This includes dropping support Python3.5 and
3.6, which are EOL, and were already dropped from setuptools, so this
should not affect our users.
* https://github.com/tartley/colorama/pull/353 Attention to detail award to
LqdBcnAtWork for a spelling fix in demo06
0.4.5
* Catch a racy ValueError that could occur on exit.
* Create README-hacking.md, for Colorama contributors.
* Tweak some README unicode characters that don't render correctly on PyPI.
* Fix some tests that were failing on some operating systems.
* Add support for Python 3.9.
* Add support for PyPy3.
* Add support for pickling with the ``dill`` module.
0.4.4
Re-org of README, to put the most insteresting parts near the top.
Added Linux makefile targets and Windows powershell scripts to automate bootstrapping a development environment, and automate the process of testing wheels before they are uploaded to PyPI.
Use stdlib unittest.mock where available
Travis CI now also builds on arm64
Demo06 demonstrates existing cursor positioning feature
Fix OSC regex & handling to prevent hang or crash
Document enterprise support by Tidelift
0.4.0:
Fix2: reset LIGHT_EX colors with RESET_ALL.
Fix: ignore invalid "erase" ANSI codes.
Fix stream wrapping under PyCharm.
Added contextlib magic methods to ansitowin32.StreamWrapper.

Makes ANSI escape character sequences for producing colored terminal text and
cursor positioning work under MS Windows.
ANSI escape character sequences have long been used to produce colored terminal
text and cursor positioning on Unix and Macs. Colorama makes this work on
Windows, too, by wrapping stdout, stripping ANSI sequences it finds (which
otherwise show up as gobbledygook in your output), and converting them into the
appropriate win32 calls to modify the state of the terminal. On other platforms,
Colorama does nothing.
Colorama also provides some shortcuts to help generate ANSI sequences but works
fine in conjunction with any other ANSI sequence generation library, such as
Termcolor.
