    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Support for 24-bit color codes (when specified via LS_COLORS) as well as
      ๐Ÿ’… different font styles (bold, italic, underline).

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changes

    • ๐ŸŽ A few performance improvements, in particular when printing lots of colorized
      ๐Ÿ‘€ results to the console, see #370
    • ๐Ÿ‘€ The LS_COLORS handling has been "outsourced" to a separate crate (https://github.com/sharkdp/lscolors) that is now being used by other tools as well: fselect, lsd. For details, see #363.
