• Pin recording jobs to Recordr 0.2.6.
• Pin test jobs to Bats Wrapper 0.2.2.

Full changelog

v0.6.6

Changed

• Running logr.sh directly now exits silently, including with -h or --help. Source the library to use its functions.

Fixed

• Emit plain ℹ without the variation selector that could occupy an extra terminal cell.
• Use the checked-out Logr library in recordings instead of an older copy found on PATH.

The SVG font-rendering difference remains unresolved; this release removes the selector workaround.
