Changes since 0.12.1:
bat as a library
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/.
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:
--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)
* 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)
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)
* .sc files should be treated as scala files, see #443 (@benwaffle)
* Allow underscores and dashes in page names, see #670 (@LunarLambda)
* Keep empty lines empty, see #601 (@mbarbar)
* Wrapping does not work when piping, see #758 (@fusillicode, @allevo,
@gildo)
* Allow for non-unicode filenames, see #225 (@sharkdp)
* Empty file without header produces incomplete grid, see #798 (@eth-p)
