Before update, please check your code whether is used deleted styles and methods.

Support Node.js

Drop supports for Node <= 14. Minimal supported version is 15.0.0 (Released 2020-10-20).
In the theory the v3 can works with Node12, but we can't test it.

• frame, replace in your code with underline
• encircle, replace in your code with underline
• overline, replace in your code with underline

Deleted methods

The methods are deleted:

• ansi, replace in your code with ansi256 or fg
• bgAnsi, replace in your code with bgAnsi256 or bg

Deleted clamp in functions

The clamp (0, 255) for the ANSI 256 codes and RGB values is removed, because is unused.
You should self check the function arguments.

The affected functions:

• ansi256 and fg (alias to ansi256) - expected a code in the range 0 - 255
• bgAnsi256 and bg (alias to bgAnsi256) - expected a code in the range0 - 255
• rgb - expected r, g, b values in the range 0 - 255
• bgRgb - expected r, g, b values in the range 0 - 255

v2.3.0

Cumulative Release v2.0.1 - v2.3.0

Features

• Added detection of additional terminals, thanks @dse, colors.js:issue #42.
• Added supports the argument as number.
• Added bgGrey and bgGray aliases for bgBlackBright.

v2.0.0

Features

• Added support for Deno.
• Added support for Next.js edge runtime.
• Added NEW named import for ansis:

  import { red } from 'ansis';

  For example:
  NEW v2.x.x

  import ansis, { red } from 'ansis'; // default and named import
  ansis.red`error`;
  red`error`;

  OLD v1.5.x

  import ansis from 'ansis'; // default import
  import { red } from 'ansis/colors'; // named import
  ansis.red`error`;
  red`error`;

• Optimised named export into one file to avoid separate wraps files for CJS and ESM.
• Reduced the size of dist/ directory by 50%.

BREAKING CHANGE (TypeScript only)

The deprecated OLD named import from 'ansis/colors' still works, but using TypeScript can be occurred the error:

TS2307: Cannot find module ansis/colors ...

Solution: update your code, e.g.: import { red } from 'ansis/colors' --> import { red } from 'ansis'

DEPRECATIONS

• OLD named import import { red } from 'ansis/colors' is deprecated, use the NEW named import.
• The barely used ansi() function name is deprecated, use ansi256() or alias fg() instead.
