v6.0.4

Documentation

• Updated: all four star history charts with current data for English and Russian, in light and dark variants (ad1d7c4)

What's Changed

Fixed missing PR groups in release notes by @WhoSowSee in #7

Full Changelog: v6.0.3...v6.0.4

v6.0.3

Documentation

• Simplified: CI and release documentation, synchronized the links in both README versions, and consolidated heading regression tests (a9a9ad8)

Maintenance

• Fixed: release notes no longer duplicate changelog descriptions and generated PR entries; related descriptions appear once per PR, with breaking changes listed first (PR #6)

What's Changed

Fixed literal heading text in braces by @WhoSowSee in #5

• Fixed: literal text in heading braces remains visible in terminal and HTML output, including Markdown code blocks, while explicit heading attributes retain their meaning (5d33cad)

Full Changelog: v6.0.2...v6.0.3

v6.0.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: pager help descriptions keep their muted color through wrapping and column changes, while shortcut keys retain the theme color (a472d4c)
• Fixed: --render-html preserves comments unless --hide-comments is set, including multiline text and source numbering; borderless header-only tables retain all lines (1814e47)

Documentation

• Added: light and dark star history charts stored in the repository and refreshed automatically for both README versions (0ee95fb)
• Documented: the corrected argument order for macOS lipo in the 6.0.1 changelog, making the already shipped build fix explicit (2f91bf4)

• Localized: star history titles, star counts and month labels in README-RU, and removed headings already provided by the charts (6a5bc6e)
• Updated: all four star history charts with current data, covering English and Russian labels in light and dark themes (007a7f2)
• Updated: the overview and theme screenshots in both README versions, and shortened the sample SQL query for the new captures (d41edb1)

Maintenance

• Removed: the special merging of 6.0.1 and 6.0.0 release notes; each release now uses only its own changelog section (3a6e0a2)
• Added: contribution and AI guidelines, issue/PR templates and Rust settings; CI checks formatting and Clippy, runs tests on Linux, Windows and macOS, and reuses build workflows (6c2bbbb)
• Fixed: automatic star history updates can publish on protected main through a dedicated GitHub App, with commits restricted to the four chart files (82f3d35)
• Added: .editorconfig to standardize UTF-8, LF and indentation while preserving Markdown trailing spaces used for hard line breaks (77575d2)
• Added: .gitattributes to normalize text to LF, show Rust context in diffs and preserve screenshots and bundled syntax data as binary files (aaec029)
• Added: RPM packages for x86_64/ARM64 and Arch Linux packages for x86_64; CI checks dependencies, SHA-256 and licenses, then installs and runs each package (e477ebb)
