v2.9

• This is expected to be the last release of minted v2.x. If so, it will
  then become the new package minted2 for backward compatibility.

• Added new option ignorelexererrors. When lexer errors are shown in
  highlighted output (default), they are typically displayed as red boxes
  that surround the relevant text. When lexer errors are ignored, the
  literal text that caused lexer errors is shown but there is no indication
  that it caused errors (#374).

• There is now a warning if fvextra version is less than 1.5.

v2.8

• Under non-Windows operating systems, detect executables with command -v
  rather than which to provide better cross-platform support (#345).

• Added new package option inputlanglinenos. This extends the existing
  langlinenos to cover \inputminted as well (#361).

• Improved and updated Pygments documentation (#339).

• Improved \mintinline documentation to address packages that redefine
  \section (#368).

• Added support for fvextra options breakafterinrun and
  breakbeforeinrun (#358). In fvextra version 1.5, breakaftergroup
  and breakbeforegroup were renamed to breakafterinrun and
  breakbeforeinrun to avoid naming ambiguity with new options. The old
  options breakaftergroup and breakbeforegroup are no longer supported.

• Added DEPENDS.txt (#331).

• Removed unnecessary dependency on calc package (#313).

• Added documentation in FAQ about copy and paste limitations (#302).

• Added note on text lexer to documentation (#274).

v2.7

• Reimplemented \mintinline to use fvextra's argument reading and
  processing macros, and to use fvextra's \Verb internally.
  \mintinline now works with all line breaking options supported by
  fvextra's \Verb, including breakanywhere (#329, #340). It now
  gives better results when used inside other commands, since it uses
  fvextra's retokenization macros. It is now compatible with hyperref
  for PDF strings such as bookmarks.

• Reimplemented \newmintinline based on new \mintinline.

• Reimplemented \mint to use fvextra's argument reading and processing
  macros. It now gives better results when used inside other commands,
  since it uses fvextra's retokenization macros. Fixed a bug that caused
  a continued paragraph after \mint to be indented (#218).

• Reimplemented \newmint based on new \mint. Commands created with
  \newmint can now use curly braces as delimiters, just like \mint
  (#254).

• Settings passed to pygmentize as command-line options are now quoted.
  This prevents escapeinside characters from being interpreted as special
  shell characters (#179, #262).

• Fixed bug with autogobble that produced incorrect dedent when using
  lastline with the lines beyond lastline having less indentation than
  the selected range (#326).

• Fixed unintended line breaks after hyphens under LuaTeX (#263).

• Added warning to documentation of \inputminted regarding filenames
  and shell command execution (#338).

v2.6

• autogobble automatically uses python or python3 executables,
  depending on availability, instead of requiring python. A custom
  executable can be specified by redefining \MintedPython (#277, #287).

• Fixed autogobble compatibility with fancyvrb 4.0+ (#315, #316).

• Pygments style names may now contain arbitrary non-whitespace characters.
  Previously, style names containing digits and some punctuation characters
  were incompatible (#210, #294, #299, #317). Pygments macros are now only
  defined just before use locally within minted commands and environments,
  rather than globally. Pygments macros now always use a \PYG prefix
  regardless of style, rather than a prefix of the form \PYG<style> (for
  example, what was previously \PYGdefault is now simply \PYG).

• Removed Python-based MD5 hashing for XeTeX, which was necessary before
  XeTeX added \mdfivesum in 2017.

• The default for stripnl is now false, so that original code is
  preserved exactly by default (#198).

• Added support for fontencoding option from fvextra (#208).

• Added note to FAQ about getting texi2pdf to work with minted given
  texi2pdf's assumptions about temp files (#186).

• Reimplemented bgcolor option to be compatible with color package.

v2.5

• The default placement for the listing float is now tbp instead of h,
  to parallel figure and table and also avoid warnings caused by h
  (#165). The documentation now contains information about changing default
  placement. The float package is no longer loaded when the newfloat
  package option is used.

• Added support for *nchars options from fvextra v1.3 that allow setting
  breaklines-related indentation in terms of a number of characters, rather
  than as a fixed dimension.

• Fixed incompatibility with babel magyar (#158).

• Added support for beamer overlays with beameroverlays option (#155).

• Comments in the Pygments LaTeX style files no longer appear as literal
  text when minted is used in .dtx files (#161).

• autogobble now works with package option kpsewhich (#151). Under
  Windows, the kpsewhich option no longer requires PowerShell.

• Fixed a bug that prevented finalizecache from working with outputdir
  (#149).

• Fixed a bug with firstline and lastline that prevented them from
  working with the minted environment (#145).

• Added note on breqn conflicts to FAQ (#163).

v2.4.1

• Single quotation marks in \jobname are now replaced with underscores in
  \minted@jobname to prevent quoting errors (#137).
• The autogobble option now takes firstline and lastline into account
  (#130).
• Fixed numberblanklines, which had been lost in the transition to v2.0+
  (#135).

v2.4

• Line breaking and all associated options are now completely delegated to
  fvextra.
• Fixed a bug from v2.2 that could cause the first command or environment to
  vanish when caching=false (related to work on \MintedPygmentize).

v2.3

• The fvextra package is now required. fvextra extends and patches
  fancyvrb, and includes improved versions of fancyvrb extensions that
  were formerly in minted.
• As part of fvextra, the upquote package is always loaded. fvextra
  brings the new option curlyquotes, which allows curly single quotation
  marks instead of the literal backtick and typewriter single quotation mark
  produced by upquote. This allows the default upquote behavior to be
  disabled when desired.
• Thanks to fvextra, the options breakbefore, breakafter, and
  breakanywhere are now compatible with non-ASCII characters under
  pdfTeX (#123).
• Thanks to fvextra, obeytabs no longer causes lines in multi-line
  comments or strings to vanish (#88), and is now compatible with
  breaklines (#99). obeytabs will now always give correct results with
  tabs used for indentation. However, tab stops are not guaranteed to be
  correct for tabs in the midst of text.
• fvextra brings the new options space, spacecolor, tab, and
  tabcolor that allow these characters and their colors to be redefined
  (#98). The tab may now be redefined to a flexible-width character such
  as \rightarrowfill. The visible tab will now always be black by default,
  instead of changing colors depending on whether it is part of indentation
  for a multiline string or comment.
• fvextra brings the new options highlightcolor and highlightlines,
  which allow single lines or ranges of lines to be highlighted based on line
  number (#124).
• fvextra brings the new options numberfirstline, stepnumberfromfirst,
  and stepnumberoffsetvalues that provide better control over line
  numbering when stepnumber is not 1.
• Fixed a bug from v2.2.2 that prevented upquote from working.

v2.2.2

• Fixed a bug introduced in v2.2 that prevented setting the Pygments style in
  the preamble. Style definitions are now more compatible with using
  \MintedPygmentize to call a custom pygmentize.

v2.2.1

• The shellesc package is loaded before ifplatform and other packages
  that might invoke \write18 (#112).
• When caching is enabled, XeTeX uses the new \mdfivesum macro from TeX
  Live 2016 to hash cache content, rather than using \ShellEscape with
  Python to perform hashing.
