Releases: wofr06/lesspipe
V2.07 with changed bat/batcat defaults, better json support
When bat/batcat is used to colorize the output, the style is now set to plain and the theme to ansi . This is a compromise for dark and light terminal backgrounds and more resembles the output without that filter. Changing the style and theme can be done in the bat config file, using the BAT_THEME and BAT_STYLE environment variables or be given as an option in the LESSCOLORIZER variable as described in the man page.
V2.06 with ShellCheck changes and a security fix
The support for perl storable (pst) files was removed for security reasons. The shell scripts do now pass the ShellCheck tests. Adjustments for the recognition of hdf amd matlab files (for newer file command) and language recognition for bat(cat) were done.
V2.05
V2.04 with csv formatting and lessfilter in PATH
Files in csv or tsv format are now displayed in table form. This can be undone with a colon appended to the file name. A program .lessfilter in the home directory or lessfilter in the PATH
gets called if existing. Colorizing programs do not get called, if less does not interpret color escape sequences (missing -R).
V2.03 with improved code2color
The handling of the calls to the colorizers vimcolor and code2color was changed to achieve a better syntax highlighting. Files within archives get now syntax highlighted also with code2color. The detection of the -R option when calling less was improved.
V2.02 with lessfilter
This release adds support for .lessfilter, brings back perl Storable support and fixes some minor issues in html and rpm files handling. Experimental feature: The content of remote URL's starting with https:// can be viewed directly.
V2.01 with tab completion
A new tab completion mechanism for zsh and bash is available. The programs dpkg (for deb) files and rpmunpack (for rpm files) are no longer used to display file contents. Some code cleanup has been done and minor fixes in the test suite were applied.
V2.00
Complete rewrite with many fixes and enhancements and a new test suite (test.pl). There is now support for calling lesspipe within a pipe (LESSOPEN="|-..."). This setting would trigger lesspipe also for other programs using less for displaying content. For man, git and perldoc this is suppressed. LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR is no longer honored.
A new program vimcolor can be used to colorize the output but is mainly intended for checks in the test suite. See more details in the README.md
