# Upcoming release
## Features
- Added a new `--file-name <name>…` option to overwrite the displayed filename(s)
in the header. This is useful when piping input into `bat`. See #654 and #892 (@neuronull).
- Added a new `--generate-config-file` option to creat an initial configuration file
at the right place. See #870 (@jmick414)
## Bugfixes
- Performance problems with C# source code have been fixed, see #677 (@keith-hall)
- Performance problems with Makefiles have been fixed, see #750 (@keith-hall)
## Other
- Updated `liquid` dependency to 0.20, see #880 (@ignatenkobrain)
## `bat` as a library
- Stripped out a lot of binary-only dependencies, see #895 and #899 (@dtolnay)
This introduces a `features = ["application"]` which is enabled by default and pulls in
everything required by `bat` the application. When depending on bat as a library, downstream
`Cargo.toml` should disable this feature to cut out inapplicable heavy dependencies:
``` toml
[dependencies]
bat = { version = "0.13", default-features = false }
```
Other optional functionality has also been put behind features: `paging` and `git` support.
- Allow using the library with older syntect, see #896 and #898 (@dtolnay)
## New syntaxes
- Rego, see #872 (@patrick-east)
- Stylo, see #917
## New themes
## Packaging
# v0.13.0
## `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/`](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/tree/master/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:
```bash
--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)
- Proper wrapping support for output with wide Unicode characters, see #811 #787 and #815 (@Kogia-sima)
- 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)
- Support combination of multiple styles at the same time, see #857 (@aslpavel)
## 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)
- Files named `build` don't respect shebang lines, see #685 (@sharkdp)
## Other
- Parametrizable names for man page and shell completion files, see #659 #673 #656 (@eth-p)

## Bugfixes
- Output looks unbalanced when using '--style=grid,numbers' without 'header', see #571 (@eth-p)
- issues with filenames starting with "cache", see #584
- Can't build cache with new theme without creating cache dir, see #576 (@frm)

or for people that want the colors to match their terminal theme colors. For more details,
see #543 and #490 (@mk12, implementation idea by @trishume)
- Hand-written auto completion script for Fish shell, see #524 and #555 (@ev-dev and @eth-p)
- The `-p`/`--plain` option can now be used twice (typically `-pp`). The first `-p` switches the
`--style` to "plain". The second `-p` disables the pager. See #560 and #552 (@eth-p)
## Bugfixes

## Changes
- **Change the default configuration directory on macOS** to `~/.config/bat`, see #442 (@lavifb). If you are on macOS, you need to copy your configuration directory from the previous place (`~/Library/Preferences/bat`) to the new place (`~/.config/bat`).

- Don't start pager if file doesn't exist, see #387
- Rename `bat cache --init` to `bat cache --build`, see #498

![](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/c3e769482ef3184f6be6adaa34bdc8d19c378254/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f324b54486859542e706e67)
see #395 and #381 for more details.
- Added `--pager` option (to configure the pager from the configuration file), see #362 (@majecty)
- Added `BAT_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable to set a non-default path for `bat`s configuration file, see #375 (@deg4uss3r)
- Allow for multiple occurences of `--style` to allow for the configuration
of styles from the config file, see #367 (@sindreij)
- Allow for multiple `--line-range` arguments, see #23
- The `--terminal-width` option can now also accept offsets, see #376
## Changes
- Use of italics is now *disabled by default* (see #389 for details). They can be
re-enabled by adding `--italic-text=always` to your configuration file.
- The default tab-width has been set to 4.
- Added new "Sublime Snazzy" theme.
- Shell completions are currently *not* shipped anymore, see #372 for details.
## Bugfixes
- Avoid endless recursion when `PAGER="bat"`, see #383 (@rodorgas)
## Other
- `bat` is now available on openSUSE, see #405 (@dmarcoux)
- Added section about the new configuration file in the README (@deg4uss3r)
- Chinese translation of README (@chinanf-boy)
- Re-written tests for `--tabs` (@choznerol)
- Speed up integration tests, see #394
# v0.8.0
## Features
- Support for a configuration file with the following simple format:
```bash
--tabs=4
--theme="Sublime Snazzy"
# A line-comment
--map-syntax .ignore:.gitignore
--map-syntax PKGBUILD:bash
--map-syntax Podfile:ruby
# Flags and options can also be on a single line:
--wrap=never --paging=never
```
The configuration file path can be accessed via `bat --config-file`. On Linux,
it is stored in `~/.config/bat/config`.
- Support for the `BAT_OPTS` environment variable with the same format as specified
above (in a single line). This takes precedence over the configuration file.
See also #310.
- Support for custom syntax mappings via the `-m`/`--max-syntax` option.
This allows users to (re)map certain file extensions or file names to an existing syntax:
``` bash
bat --map-syntax .config:json ...
```
The option can be use multiple times. Note that you can easily make these mappings permanent by using bats new configuration file.
See #169

- Add support for wildcards in Windows CMD, see #309 (@zxey)
- First-line syntax detection for all input types, see #205
- Encoding support for UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE, see #285

## Bugfixes
- JavaDoc comments break syntax highlighting in .java files, see #81
- Bat Panics on Haskell Source Code, see #314
## Other
- Better `-h` and `--help` texts.
- Updated documentation on how to configure `bat`s pager
- Updated documentation for light backgrounds, see #328 (@russtaylor)
- Generate shell completions during build, see #115 (@davideGiovannini)
- A lot of new tests have been written
- `bat` is now available via [Termux](https://termux.com/), see #341 (@fornwall)
- `bat` is now available via [nix](https://nixos.org/nix), see #344 (@mgttlinger)
- `bat` is now available via [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/danlynn/bat/), see #331 (@danlynn)
# v0.7.1
## Features
- Use the `ansi_colours` package by @mina86 for better true-color approximation on 8 bit color terminals, see #319 and #202.
## Bugfixes
- Bat Panics on Haskell Source Code, see #314
- Disable wrapping when `--style=plain`/`-p` is used, see #289
## Other
