- ## Version 8.0 beta
-
- This new major release is quite a big overhaul bringing both new features and
- some backwards incompatible changes. However, chances are that the majority of
- users won't be affected by the latter: the basic scenario described in the
- README is left intact.
-
- Here's what did change in an incompatible way:
-
- - We're now prefixing all classes located in [CSS classes reference][cr] with
- `hljs-`, by default, because some class names would collide with other
- people's stylesheets. If you were using an older version, you might still want
- the previous behavior, but still want to upgrade. To suppress this new
- behavior, you would initialize like so:
-
- ```html
- <script type="text/javascript">
- hljs.configure({classPrefix: ''});
- hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();
- </script>
- ```
-
- - `tabReplace` and `useBR` that were used in different places are also unified
- into the global options object and are to be set using `configure(options)`.
- This function is documented in our [API docs][]. Also note that these
- parameters are gone from `highlightBlock` and `fixMarkup` which are now also
- rely on `configure`.
-
- - We removed public-facing (though undocumented) object `hljs.LANGUAGES` which
- was used to register languages with the library in favor of two new methods:
- `registerLanguage` and `getLanguage`. Both are documented in our [API docs][].
-
- - Result returned from `highlight` and `highlightAuto` no longer contains two
- separate attributes contributing to relevance score, `relevance` and
- `keyword_count`. They are now unified in `relevance`.
-
- Another technically compatible change that nonetheless might need attention:
-
- - The structure of the NPM package was refactored, so if you had installed it
- locally, you'll have to update your paths. The usual `require('highlight.js')`
- works as before. This is contributed by [Dmitry Smolin][].
-
- New features:
-
- - Languages now can be recognized by multiple names like "js" for JavaScript or
- "html" for, well, HTML (which earlier insisted on calling it "xml"). These
- aliases can be specified in the class attribute of the code container in your
- HTML as well as in various API calls. For now there are only a few very common
- aliases but we'll expand it in the future. All of them are listed in the
- [class reference][].
-
- - Language detection can now be restricted to a subset of languages relevant in
- a given context — a web page or even a single highlighting call. This is
- especially useful for node.js build that includes all the known languages.
- Another example is a StackOverflow-style site where users specify languages
- as tags rather than in the markdown-formatted code snippets. This is
- documented in the [API reference][] (see methods `highlightAuto` and
- `configure`).
-
- - Language definition syntax streamlined with [variants][] and
- [beginKeywords][].
-
- New languages and styles:
-
- - *Oxygene* by [Carlo Kok][]
- - *Mathematica* by [Daniel Kvasnička][]
- - *Autohotkey* by [Seongwon Lee][]
- - *Atelier* family of styles in 10 variants by [Bram de Haan][]
- - *Paraíso* styles by [Jan T. Sott][]
-
- Miscelleanous improvements:
-
- - Highlighting `=>` prompts in Clojure.
- - [Jeremy Hull][] fixed a lot of styles for consistency.
- - Finally, highlighting PHP and HTML [mixed in peculiar ways][php-html].
- - Objective C and C# now properly highlight titles in method definition.
- - Big overhaul of relevance counting for a number of languages. Please do report
- bugs about mis-detection of non-trivial code snippets!

-
- ## Version 7.5
-
- A catch-up release dealing with some of the accumulated contributions. This one
- is probably will be the last before the 8.0 which will be slightly backwards
- incompatible regarding some advanced use-cases.
-
- One outstanding change in this version is the addition of 6 languages to the
- [hosted script][d]: Markdown, ObjectiveC, CoffeeScript, Apache, Nginx and
- Makefile. It now weighs about 6K more but we're going to keep it under 30K.
-
- New languages:
-
- - OCaml by [Mehdi Dogguy][mehdid] and [Nicolas Braud-Santoni][nbraud]
- - [LiveCode Server][lcs] by [Ralf Bitter][revig]
- - Scilab by [Sylvestre Ledru][sylvestre]
- - basic support for Makefile by [Ivan Sagalaev][isagalaev]
-
- Improvements:
-
- - Ruby's got support for characters like `?A`, `?1`, `?\012` etc. and `%r{..}`
- regexps.
- - Clojure now allows a function call in the beginning of s-expressions
- `(($filter "myCount") (arr 1 2 3 4 5))`.
- - Haskell's got new keywords and now recognizes more things like pragmas,
- preprocessors, modules, containers, FFIs etc. Thanks to [Zena Treep][treep]
- for the implementation and to [Jeremy Hull][sourrust] for guiding it.
- - Miscelleanous fixes in PHP, Brainfuck, SCSS, Asciidoc, CMake, Python and F#.

-
- ## New core developers
-
- The latest long period of almost complete inactivity in the project coincided
- with growing interest to it led to a decision that now seems completely obvious:
- we need more core developers.
-
- So without further ado let me welcome to the core team two long-time
- contributors: [Jeremy Hull][] and [Oleg
- Efimov][].
-
- Hope now we'll be able to work through stuff faster!
-
- P.S. The historical commit is [here][1] for the record.

-
- ## Version 7.3
-
- - Since this version highlight.js no longer works in IE version 8 and older.
- It's made it possible to reduce the library size and dramatically improve code

-
-
- ## Version 7.2
-
- A regular bug-fix release without any significant new features. Enjoy!
-
-
- ## Version 7.1
-
- A Summer crop:
-
- - [Marc Fornos][mf] made the definition for Clojure along with the matching
- style Rainbow (which, of course, works for other languages too).
- - CoffeeScript support continues to improve getting support for regular
- expressions.
- - Yoshihide Jimbo ported to highlight.js [five Tomorrow styles][tm] from the
- [project by Chris Kempson][tm0].
- - Thanks to [Casey Duncun][cd] the library can now be built in the popular
- [AMD format][amd].
- - And last but not least, we've got a fair number of correctness and consistency
- fixes, including a pretty significant refactoring of Ruby.

-
-
- ## Version 7.0
-
- The reason for the new major version update is a global change of keyword syntax
- which resulted in the library getting smaller once again. For example, the
- hosted build is 2K less than at the previous version while supporting two new
- languages.
-
- Notable changes:
-
- - The library now works not only in a browser but also with [node.js][]. It is
- installable with `npm install highlight.js`. [API][] docs are available on our
- wiki.
-
- - The new unique feature (apparently) among syntax highlighters is highlighting
- *HTTP* headers and an arbitrary language in the request body. The most useful
- languages here are *XML* and *JSON* both of which highlight.js does support.
- Here's [the detailed post][p] about the feature.
-
- - Two new style themes: a dark "south" *[Pojoaque][]* by Jason Tate and an
- emulation of*XCode* IDE by [Angel Olloqui][ao].
-
- - Three new languages: *D* by [Aleksandar Ružičić][ar], *R* by [Joe Cheng][jc]
- and *GLSL* by [Sergey Tikhomirov][st].
-
- - *Nginx* syntax has become a million times smaller and more universal thanks to
- remaking it in a more generic manner that doesn't require listing all the
- directives in the known universe.
-
- - Function titles are now highlighted in *PHP*.
-
- - *Haskell* and *VHDL* were significantly reworked to be more rich and correct
- by their respective maintainers [Jeremy Hull][sr] and [Igor Kalnitsky][ik].
-
- And last but not least, many bugs have been fixed around correctness and
- language detection.
-
- Overall highlight.js currently supports 51 languages and 20 style themes.

-
- ## Version 6.2
-
- A lot of things happened in highlight.js since the last version! We've got nine
- new contributors, the discussion group came alive, and the main branch on GitHub
- now counts more than 350 followers. Here are most significant results coming
- from all this activity:
-
- - 5 (five!) new languages: Rust, ActionScript, CoffeeScript, MatLab and
- experimental support for markdown. Thanks go to [Andrey Vlasovskikh][av],
- [Alexander Myadzel][am], [Dmytrii Nagirniak][dn], [Oleg Efimov][oe], [Denis
- Bardadym][db] and [John Crepezzi][jc].
-
- - 2 new style themes: Monokai by [Luigi Maselli][lm] and stylistic imitation of
- another well-known highlighter Google Code Prettify by [Aahan Krish][ak].
-
- - A vast number of [correctness fixes and code refactorings][log], mostly made
- by [Oleg Efimov][oe] and [Evgeny Stepanischev][es].

-
- ## Version 6.1 — Solarized
-
- [Jeremy Hull][jh] has implemented my dream feature — a port of [Solarized][]
- style theme famous for being based on the intricate color theory to achieve
- correct contrast and color perception. It is now available for highlight.js in
- both variants — light and dark.
-
- This version also adds a new original style Arta. Its author pumbur maintains a
- [heavily modified fork of highlight.js][pb] on GitHub.

-
-
- ## Version 6.0
-
- New major version of the highlighter has been built on a significantly
- refactored syntax. Due to this it's even smaller than the previous one while
- supporting more languages!
-
- New languages are:
-
- - Haskell by [Jeremy Hull][sourrust]
- - Erlang in two varieties — module and REPL — made collectively by [Nikolay
- Zakharov][desh], [Dmitry Kovega][arhibot] and [Sergey Ignatov][ignatov]
- - Objective C by [Valerii Hiora][vhbit]
- - Vala by [Antono Vasiljev][antono]
- - Go by [Stephan Kountso][steplg]
-
- [sourrust]: https://github.com/sourrust
- [desh]: http://desh.su/
- [arhibot]: https://github.com/arhibot
- [ignatov]: https://github.com/ignatov
- [vhbit]: https://github.com/vhbit
- [antono]: https://github.com/antono
- [steplg]: https://github.com/steplg
-
- Also this version is marginally faster and fixes a number of small long-standing
- bugs.
-
- Developer overview of the new language syntax is available in a [blog post about
- recent beta release][beta].
-
- [beta]: http://softwaremaniacs.org/blog/2011/04/25/highlight-js-60-beta/en/
-
- P.S. New version is not yet available on a Yandex' CDN, so for now you have to
- download [your own copy][d].
-
- [d]: /soft/highlight/en/download/
-
-
- ## Version 5.14
-
- Fixed bugs in HTML/XML detection and relevance introduced in previous
- refactoring.
-
- Also test.html now shows the second best result of language detection by
- relevance.
-
-
- ## Version 5.13
-
- Past weekend began with a couple of simple additions for existing languages but
- ended up in a big code refactoring bringing along nice improvements for language
- developers.
-
- ### For users
-
- - Description of C++ has got new keywords from the upcoming [C++ 0x][] standard.
- - Description of HTML has got new tags from [HTML 5][].
- - CSS-styles have been unified to use consistent padding and also have lost
- pop-outs with names of detected languages.
- - [Igor Kalnitsky][ik] has sent two new language descriptions: CMake и VHDL.
-
- This makes total number of languages supported by highlight.js to reach 35.
-
- Bug fixes:
-
- - Custom classes on `<pre>` tags are not being overridden anymore
- - More correct highlighting of code blocks inside non-`<pre>` containers:
- highlighter now doesn't insist on replacing them with its own container and
- just replaces the contents.
- - Small fixes in browser compatibility and heuristics.
-
- [c++ 0x]: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x
- [html 5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5
- [ik]: http://kalnitsky.org.ua/
-
- ### For developers
-
- The most significant change is the ability to include language submodes right
- under `contains` instead of defining explicit named submodes in the main array:
-
- contains: [
- 'string',
- 'number',
- {begin: '\\n', end: hljs.IMMEDIATE_RE}

-
- This is useful for auxiliary modes needed only in one place to define parsing.
- Note that such modes often don't have `className` and hence won't generate a
- separate `<span>` in the resulting markup. This is similar in effect to
- `noMarkup: true`. All existing languages have been refactored accordingly.
-
- Test file test.html has at last become a real test. Now it not only puts the
- detected language name under the code snippet but also tests if it matches the
- expected one. Test summary is displayed right above all language snippets.
-
-
- ## CDN
-
- Fine people at [Yandex][] agreed to host highlight.js on their big fast servers.

- ## Version 5.10 — "Paris".
-
- Though I'm on a vacation in Paris, I decided to release a new version with a
- couple of small fixes:
-
- - Tomas Vitvar discovered that TAB replacement doesn't always work when used
- with custom markup in code
- - SQL parsing is even more rigid now and doesn't step over SmallTalk in tests
-
-
- ## Version 5.9
-
- A long-awaited version is finally released.
-
- New languages:
-
- - Andrew Fedorov made a definition for Lua
- - a long-time highlight.js contributor [Peter Leonov][pl] made a definition for
- Nginx config
- - [Vladimir Moskva][vm] made a definition for TeX
-
- [pl]: http://kung-fu-tzu.ru/
- [vm]: http://fulc.ru/
-
- Fixes for existing languages:
-
- - [Loren Segal][ls] reworked the Ruby definition and added highlighting for
- [YARD][] inline documentation
- - the definition of SQL has become more solid and now it shouldn't be overly
- greedy when it comes to language detection
-
- [ls]: http://gnuu.org/
- [yard]: http://yardoc.org/
-
- The highlighter has become more usable as a library allowing to do highlighting
- from initialization code of JS frameworks and in ajax methods (see.
- readme.eng.txt).
-
- Also this version drops support for the [WordPress][wp] plugin. Everyone is
- welcome to [pick up its maintenance][p] if needed.

-
-
- ## Version 5.8
-
- - Jan Berkel has contributed a definition for Scala. +1 to hotness!
- - All CSS-styles are rewritten to work only inside `<pre>` tags to avoid
- conflicts with host site styles.
-
-
- ## Version 5.7.
-
- Fixed escaping of quotes in VBScript strings.
-
-
- ## Version 5.5
-
- This version brings a small change: now .ini-files allow digits, underscores and
- square brackets in key names.
-
-
- ## Version 5.4
-
- Fixed small but upsetting bug in the packer which caused incorrect highlighting
- of explicitly specified languages. Thanks to Andrew Fedorov for precise
- diagnostics!
-
-
- ## Version 5.3
-
- The version to fulfil old promises.
-
- The most significant change is that highlight.js now preserves custom user
- markup in code along with its own highlighting markup. This means that now it's
- possible to use, say, links in code. Thanks to [Vladimir Dolzhenko][vd] for the
- [initial proposal][1] and for making a proof-of-concept patch.
-
- Also in this version:
-
- - [Vasily Polovnyov][vp] has sent a GitHub-like style and has implemented
- support for CSS @-rules and Ruby symbols.
- - Yura Zaripov has sent two styles: Brown Paper and School Book.
- - Oleg Volchkov has sent a definition for [Parser 3][p3].

-
- ## Version 5.2
-
- - at last it's possible to replace indentation TABs with something sensible (e.g. 2 or 4 spaces)
- - new keywords and built-ins for 1C by Sergey Baranov
- - a couple of small fixes to Apache highlighting
-
-
- ## Version 5.1
-
- This is one of those nice version consisting entirely of new and shiny
- contributions!
-
- - [Vladimir Ermakov][vooon] created highlighting for AVR Assembler
- - [Ruslan Keba][rukeba] created highlighting for Apache config file. Also his
- original visual style for it is now available for all highlight.js languages
- under the name "Magula".
- - [Shuen-Huei Guan][drake] (aka Drake) sent new keywords for RenderMan
- languages. Also thanks go to [Konstantin Evdokimenko][ke] for his advice on
- the matter.

-
-
- ## Version 5.0
-
- The main change in the new major version of highlight.js is a mechanism for
- packing several languages along with the library itself into a single compressed
- file. Now sites using several languages will load considerably faster because
- the library won't dynamically include additional files while loading.
-
- Also this version fixes a long-standing bug with Javascript highlighting that
- couldn't distinguish between regular expressions and division operations.
-
- And as usually there were a couple of minor correctness fixes.
-
- Great thanks to all contributors! Keep using highlight.js.
-
-
- ## Version 4.3
-
- This version comes with two contributions from [Jason Diamond][jd]:
-
- - language definition for C# (yes! it was a long-missed thing!)
- - Visual Studio-like highlighting style
-
- Plus there are a couple of minor bug fixes for parsing HTML and XML attributes.
-
- [jd]: http://jason.diamond.name/weblog/
-
-
- ## Version 4.2
-
- The biggest news is highlighting for Lisp, courtesy of Vasily Polovnyov. It's
- somewhat experimental meaning that for highlighting "keywords" it doesn't use
- any pre-defined set of a Lisp dialect. Instead it tries to highlight first word
- in parentheses wherever it makes sense. I'd like to ask people programming in
- Lisp to confirm if it's a good idea and send feedback to [the forum][f].
-
- Other changes:
-
- - Smalltalk was excluded from DEFAULT_LANGUAGES to save traffic
- - [Vladimir Epifanov][voldmar] has implemented javascript style switcher for
- test.html
- - comments now allowed inside Ruby function definition
- - [MEL][] language from [Shuen-Huei Guan][drake]
- - whitespace now allowed between `<pre>` and `<code>`
- - better auto-detection of C++ and PHP
- - HTML allows embedded VBScript (`<% .. %>`)

-
-
- ## Version 4.1
-
- Languages:
-
- - Bash from Vah
- - DOS bat-files from Alexander Makarov (Sam)
- - Diff files from Vasily Polovnyov
- - Ini files from myself though initial idea was from Sam
-
- Styles:
-
- - Zenburn from Vladimir Epifanov, this is an imitation of a
- [well-known theme for Vim][zenburn].
- - Ascetic from myself, as a realization of ideals of non-flashy highlighting:
- just one color in only three gradations :-)
-
- In other news. [One small bug][bug] was fixed, built-in keywords were added for
- Python and C++ which improved auto-detection for the latter (it was shame that
- [my wife's blog][alenacpp] had issues with it from time to time). And lastly
- thanks go to Sam for getting rid of my stylistic comments in code that were
- getting in the way of [JSMin][].

-
- ## Version 4.0
-
- New major version is a result of vast refactoring and of many contributions.
-
- Visible new features:
-
- - Highlighting of embedded languages. Currently is implemented highlighting of
- Javascript and CSS inside HTML.
- - Bundled 5 ready-made style themes!
-
- Invisible new features:
-
- - Highlight.js no longer pollutes global namespace. Only one object and one
- function for backward compatibility.
- - Performance is further increased by about 15%.
-
- Changing of a major version number caused by a new format of language definition
- files. If you use some third-party language files they should be updated.
-
-
- ## Version 3.5
-
- A very nice version in my opinion fixing a number of small bugs and slightly
- increased speed in a couple of corner cases. Thanks to everybody who reports
- bugs in he [forum][f] and by email!
-
- There is also a new language — XML. A custom XML formerly was detected as HTML
- and didn't highlight custom tags. In this version I tried to make custom XML to
- be detected and highlighted by its own rules. Which by the way include such
- things as CDATA sections and processing instructions (`<? ... ?>`).

-
-
- ## Version 3.3
-
- [Vladimir Gubarkov][xonix] has provided an interesting and useful addition.
- File export.html contains a little program that shows and allows to copy and
- paste an HTML code generated by the highlighter for any code snippet. This can
- be useful in situations when one can't use the script itself on a site.
-
-
- [xonix]: http://xonixx.blogspot.com/
-
-
- ## Version 3.2 consists completely of contributions:
-
- - Vladimir Gubarkov has described SmallTalk
- - Yuri Ivanov has described 1C
- - Peter Leonov has packaged the highlighter as a Firefox extension
- - Vladimir Ermakov has compiled a mod for phpBB
-
- Many thanks to you all!
-
-
- ## Version 3.1
-
- Three new languages are available: Django templates, SQL and Axapta. The latter
- two are sent by [Dmitri Roudakov][1]. However I've almost entirely rewrote an
- SQL definition but I'd never started it be it from the ground up :-)
-
- The engine itself has got a long awaited feature of grouping keywords
- ("keyword", "built-in function", "literal"). No more hacks!
-
- [1]: http://roudakov.ru/
-
-
- ## Version 3.0
-
- It is major mainly because now highlight.js has grown large and has become
- modular. Now when you pass it a list of languages to highlight it will
- dynamically load into a browser only those languages.
-
- Also:
-
- - Konstantin Evdokimenko of [RibKit][] project has created a highlighting for
- RenderMan Shading Language and RenderMan Interface Bytestream. Yay for more
- languages!
- - Heuristics for C++ and HTML got better.
- - I've implemented (at last) a correct handling of backslash escapes in C-like
- languages.
-
- There is also a small backwards incompatible change in the new version. The
- function initHighlighting that was used to initialize highlighting instead of
- initHighlightingOnLoad a long time ago no longer works. If you by chance still
- use it — replace it with the new one.
-

-
-
- ## Version 2.9
-
- Highlight.js is a parser, not just a couple of regular expressions. That said
- I'm glad to announce that in the new version 2.9 has support for:
-
- - in-string substitutions for Ruby -- `#{...}`
- - strings from from numeric symbol codes (like #XX) for Delphi
-
-
- ## Version 2.8
-
- A maintenance release with more tuned heuristics. Fully backwards compatible.
-
-
- ## Version 2.7
-
- - Nikita Ledyaev presents highlighting for VBScript, yay!
- - A couple of bugs with escaping in strings were fixed thanks to Mickle
- - Ongoing tuning of heuristics
-
- Fixed bugs were rather unpleasant so I encourage everyone to upgrade!
-
-
- ## Version 2.4
-
- - Peter Leonov provides another improved highlighting for Perl
- - Javascript gets a new kind of keywords — "literals". These are the words
- "true", "false" and "null"
-
- Also highlight.js homepage now lists sites that use the library. Feel free to
- add your site by [dropping me a message][mail] until I find the time to build a
- submit form.

-
-
- ## Version 2.3
-
- This version fixes IE breakage in previous version. My apologies to all who have
- already downloaded that one!
-
-
- ## Version 2.2
-
- - added highlighting for Javascript
- - at last fixed parsing of Delphi's escaped apostrophes in strings
- - in Ruby fixed highlighting of keywords 'def' and 'class', same for 'sub' in
- Perl
-
-
- ## Version 2.0
-
- - Ruby support by [Anton Kovalyov][ak]
- - speed increased by orders of magnitude due to new way of parsing
- - this same way allows now correct highlighting of keywords in some tricky
- places (like keyword "End" at the end of Delphi classes)
-
- [ak]: http://anton.kovalyov.net/
-
-
- ## Version 1.0
-
- Version 1.0 of javascript syntax highlighter is released!
-
- It's the first version available with English description. Feel free to post
- your comments and question to [highlight.js forum][forum]. And don't be afraid
- if you find there some fancy Cyrillic letters -- it's for Russian users too :-)
