Hi,
First up, great tool!
I was just about to open a new issue, but luckily spotted my problem has already been fixed(_thank you_!). It did make me wonder if I was using a massively old release, and perhaps I am. Right now there are 277 changes since the last release, a good chunk of which look to be big functional improvements and fixes.
Perhaps the intention is for people to just build directly from master, but maybe it is time for a new tagged release?
Thanks,
James
PS. I hope this doesn't come across as pushy and entitled, and I do understand that cutting a new release can be a nervous chunk of work ;)

Hi @JNRowe, definitely agree! Let's leave this issue open until it's done. I'm hoping for next week. This one has taken too long -- a large number of bug fixes and refactoring got bundled up with new features (arbitrary foreground/background styling with glyph attributes for all stylable elements, [delta] section in ~/.gitconfig for configuration, line numbering, diff-highlight and diff-so-fancy emulation, mix-and-matchable named collections of options ("presets") [delta "my-preset"]) and it's taken a while to straighten out. It is now basically stable, just whitespace handling that I'm aiming to fix before release (#179). Plus new documentation. I've learned my lesson though and aim to do better branch management, e.g. hotfixes on a releasable branch, in the future.
If you are able to build master, then using that and letting me know of any problems would be fantastic.

Thanks @JNRowe, 0.2.0 is released now.
From the release notes (https://github.com/dandavison/delta/releases/tag/0.2.0):
The highlights are:
To configure delta's appearance, you now use "styles" instead of background color names. A style is a string like
red bold ul "#ffeeee"that specifies foreground color, background color, and attributes. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta#choosing-colors-styles.Delta now reads configuration from a
[delta]section in git config, and this is the recommended way to configure delta. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta#configurationDelta now has a line numbers feature, thanks to @clnoll. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta/pull/190, https://github.com/dandavison/delta/pull/219
Delta now has
--diff-highlightand--diff-so-fancyemulation modes (thanks @waldyrious for much testing)
