- Fix highlighting of Markdown files, see #963 and #977
- Fix base16theme (was broken since in v0.14), see #972, #934 and #979 (@mk12). Users suffering from #865 ("no color for bat in ssh from a Windows client") can use theansi-darkandansi-lightthemes from now on.

- QML, see #962 (@pylipp)

Bugfixes
- Error message printed in the middle of the output for another file, see #946
- Performance improvements when using custom caches (via bat cache --build): thebatstartup time should now be twice as fast (@lzutao).
Themes
- Updated version of the Solarized dark/light themes, see #941
bat as a library
- There are a few changes in the "low level" API (the Configstruct has changed and the error handler needs a new&mut dyn Writeargument). The high-level API is not affected.
v0.14.0
Features
- Added a new --file-name <name>…option to overwrite the displayed filename(s) in the header. This is useful when piping input intobat. See #654 and #892 (@neuronull).
- Added a new --generate-config-fileoption to create an initial configuration file at the right place. See #870 (@jmick414)
Bugfixes

- Updated liquiddependency to 0.20, see #880 (@ignatenkobrain)
bat as a library
- 
A completely new "high level" API has been added that is much more convenient to use. See the examplesfolder for the updated code. The older "low level" API is still available (basically everything that is not in the rootbatmodule), but has been refactored quite a bit. It is recommended to only use the new "high level" API, if possible. This will be much easier to keep stable. Note that this should still be considered a "beta" release ofbat-as-a-library. For more details and some screenshots of the example programs, see #936.
- 
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 bybatthe application. When depending on bat as a library, downstreamCargo.tomlshould disable this feature to cut out inapplicable heavy dependencies:[dependencies] bat = { version = "0.14", default-features = false }Other optional functionality has also been put behind features: pagingandgitsupport.
- 
Allow using the library with older syntect, see #896 and #898 (@dtolnay) 
New syntaxes
- Rego, see #872 (@patrick-east)
- Stylo, see #917
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 batcrate, see #679 (@DrSensor)

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
