Release Notes (v2.7.5)

April 17, 2024

The v2.7.5 release updates the ansi module to address minor issues.

---

Improved usage and help text syntax highlighting

The ansi module holds a collection of regular expressions that apply automatic formatting to usage and help text with standard syntax.

This change addresses the following:

• Metavars match on 2 letters instead of requiring 3. For example, ID is now matched.

• The pattern matching here is very generalized with the exception of a very short list of special resource names (i.e., localhost, stdin, stdout, and stderr). But if an option is named --stdout for example, the highlighting is not handled properly. This change adds a negative look-behind to catch this edge case.
