- Added a helper to "optimize" regular expressions that match one of many
literal words; this can save 20% and more lexing time with lexers that
highlight many keywords or builtins.
- New styles: "xcode" and "igor", similar to the default highlighting of
the respective IDEs.
- The command-line "pygmentize" tool now tries a little harder to find the
correct encoding for files and the terminal (#979).
- Added "inencoding" option for lexers to override "encoding" analogous
to "outencoding" (#800).
- Added line-by-line "streaming" mode for pygmentize with the "-s" option.
(pull request #165) Only fully works for lexers that have no constructs spanning
lines!
- Added an "envname" option to the LaTeX formatter to select a replacement
verbatim environment (pull request #235).
- Updated the Makefile lexer to yield a little more useful highlighting.
- Lexer aliases passed to ``get_lexer_by_name()`` are now case-insensitive.
- File name matching in lexers and formatters will now use a regex cache
for speed (pull request #205).
- Pygments will now recognize "vim" modelines when guessing the lexer for
a file based on content (pull request #118).
- Major restructure of the ``pygments.lexers`` module namespace. There are now
many more modules with less lexers per module. Old modules are still around
and re-export the lexers they previously contained.
- The NameHighlightFilter now works with any Name.* token type (#790).
- Python 3 lexer: add new exceptions from PEP 3151.
- Opa lexer: add new keywords (pull request #170).
- Julia lexer: add keywords and underscore-separated number
literals (pull request #176).
- Lasso lexer: fix method highlighting, update builtins. Fix
guessing so that plain XML isn't always taken as Lasso (pull request #163).
- Objective C/C++ lexers: allow "@" prefixing any expression (#871).
- Ruby lexer: fix lexing of Name::Space tokens (#860) and of symbols
in hashes (#873).

- JavaScript lexer: add the "yield" keyword (pull request #196).
- HTTP lexer: support for PATCH method (pull request #190).
- Koka lexer: update to newest language spec (pull request #201).
- Haxe lexer: rewrite and support for Haxe 3 (pull request #174).

- F# lexer: rewrite with newest spec for F# 3.0 (#842), fix a bug with
dotted chains (#948).

- Rebol lexer: fix comment detection and analyse_text (pull request #261).
- LLVM lexer: update keywords to v3.4 (pull request #258).
- PHP lexer: add new keywords and binary literals (pull request #222).
- external/markdown-processor.py updated to newest python-markdown (pull request #221).
- CSS lexer: some highlighting order fixes (pull request #231).
- Ceylon lexer: fix parsing of nested multiline comments (#915).
- C family lexers: fix parsing of indented preprocessor directives (#944).
- Rust lexer: update to 0.9 language version (pull request #270, PR#388).
- Elixir lexer: update to 0.15 language version (pull request #392).
- Fix swallowing incomplete tracebacks in Python console lexer (#874).
either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.

for states not in the child lexer are now inherited. If you override a state
in the child lexer, an "inherit" keyword has been added to insert the base
state at that position (PR#141).

- New option ``hl_lines`` to HTML formatter, to highlight certain
lines.

- New option *-g* to pygmentize, to allow lexer guessing based on
filetext (can be slowish, so file extensions are still checked
first).

of whether data is xml-like (a check which is used in several
versions of ``analyse_text()``. Several lexers also have more
accurate ``analyse_text()`` now.
Pygments is a syntax highlighting package written in Python.
It is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software
such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify
source code. Highlights are:
* a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
* special attention is paid to details, increasing quality by a fair amount
* support for new languages and formats are added easily
* a number of output formats, presently HTML, LaTeX, RTF and ANSI sequences
* it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
* ... and it highlights even Brainfuck!
