The new major version brings a reworked styling system. Highlight.js now defines a limited set of highlightable classes giving a consistent result across all the styles and languages. You can read a more detailed explanation and background in the [tracking issue][#348] that started this long process back in May.
This change is backwards incompatible for those who uses highlight.js with a custom stylesheet. The [new style guide][sg] explains how to write styles in this new world.
Bundled themes have also suffered a significant amount of improvements and may look different in places, but all the things now consistent and make more sense. Among others, the Default style has got a refresh and will probably be tweaked some more in next releases. Please do give your feedback in our [issue tracker][issues].

now work in Elixir.- tabReplace and useBR that were used in different places are also unified
into the global options object and are to be set using configure(options).
This function is documented in our [API docs][]. Also note that these
parameters are gone from highlightBlock and fixMarkup which are now also
rely on configure.
- We removed public-facing (though undocumented) object hljs.LANGUAGES which
was used to register languages with the library in favor of two new methods:
registerLanguage and getLanguage. Both are documented in our [API docs][].
- Result returned from highlight and highlightAuto no longer contains two
separate attributes contributing to relevance score, relevance and
keyword_count. They are now unified in relevance.
Another technically compatible change that nonetheless might need attention:
- The structure of the NPM package was refactored, so if you had installed it
locally, you'll have to update your paths. The usual require('highlight.js')
works as before. This is contributed by [Dmitry Smolin][].
New features:
- Languages now can be recognized by multiple names like "js" for JavaScript or "html" for, well, HTML (which earlier insisted on calling it "xml"). These aliases can be specified in the class attribute of the code container in your HTML as well as in various API calls. For now there are only a few very common aliases but we'll expand it in the future. All of them are listed in the [class reference][cr].
- Language detection can now be restricted to a subset of languages relevant in
a given context — a web page or even a single highlighting call. This is
especially useful for node.js build that includes all the known languages.
Another example is a StackOverflow-style site where users specify languages
as tags rather than in the markdown-formatted code snippets. This is
documented in the [API reference][] (see methods highlightAuto and
configure).
- Language definition syntax streamlined with [variants][] and [beginKeywords][].
New languages and styles:
- Oxygene by [Carlo Kok][]
Miscellaneous improvements:
- Highlighting => prompts in Clojure.

A catch-up release dealing with some of the accumulated contributions. This one is probably will be the last before the 8.0 which will be slightly backwards incompatible regarding some advanced use-cases.
One outstanding change in this version is the addition of 6 languages to the [hosted script][d]: Markdown, ObjectiveC, CoffeeScript, Apache, Nginx and Makefile. It now weighs about 6K more but we're going to keep it under 30K.
New languages:
- OCaml by [Mehdi Dogguy][mehdid] and [Nicolas Braud-Santoni][nbraud]
Improvements:
- Ruby's got support for characters like ?A, ?1, ?\012 etc. and %r{..}
.
- Haskell's got new keywords and now recognizes more things like pragmas,
preprocessors, modules, containers, FFIs etc. Thanks to [Zena Treep][treep]
for the implementation and to [Jeremy Hull][sourrust] for guiding it.
- Miscellaneous fixes in PHP, Brainfuck, SCSS, Asciidoc, CMake, Python and F#.

New core developers
The latest long period of almost complete inactivity in the project coincided
with growing interest to it led to a decision that now seems completely obvious:
we need more core developers.
So without further ado let me welcome to the core team two long-time
contributors: [Jeremy Hull][] and [Oleg
Efimov][].
Hope now we'll be able to work through stuff faster!
P.S. The historical commit is [here][1] for the record.

[Cédric Néhémie]: https://github.com/abe33
Version 7.3
- Since this version highlight.js no longer works in IE version 8 and older.
It's made it possible to reduce the library size and dramatically improve code
readability and made it easier to maintain. Time to go forward!
- New languages: AppleScript (by [Nathan Grigg][ng] and [Dr. Drang][dd]) and

Version 7.2
A regular bug-fix release without any significant new features. Enjoy!
Version 7.1
A Summer crop:
- [Marc Fornos][mf] made the definition for Clojure along with the matching
style Rainbow (which, of course, works for other languages too).
- CoffeeScript support continues to improve getting support for regular
expressions.
- Yoshihide Jimbo ported to highlight.js [five Tomorrow styles][tm] from the
[project by Chris Kempson][tm0].
- Thanks to [Casey Duncun][cd] the library can now be built in the popular
[AMD format][amd].
- And last but not least, we've got a fair number of correctness and consistency
fixes, including a pretty significant refactoring of Ruby.[mf]: https://github.com/mfornos

[cd]: https://github.com/caseman
[amd]: http://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html
Version 7.0
The reason for the new major version update is a global change of keyword syntax
which resulted in the library getting smaller once again. For example, the
hosted build is 2K less than at the previous version while supporting two new
languages.
Notable changes:
- The library now works not only in a browser but also with [node.js][]. It is
installable with
npm install highlight.js. [API][] docs are available on our
wiki.- The new unique feature (apparently) among syntax highlighters is highlighting
HTTP headers and an arbitrary language in the request body. The most useful
languages here are XML and JSON both of which highlight.js does support.
Here's [the detailed post][p] about the feature.
- Two new style themes: a dark "south" [Pojoaque][] by Jason Tate and an
emulation ofXCode IDE by [Angel Olloqui][ao].
- Three new languages: D by [Aleksandar Ružičić][ar], R by [Joe Cheng][jc]
and GLSL by [Sergey Tikhomirov][st].
- Nginx syntax has become a million times smaller and more universal thanks to
remaking it in a more generic manner that doesn't require listing all the
directives in the known universe.
- Function titles are now highlighted in PHP.
- Haskell and VHDL were significantly reworked to be more rich and correct
by their respective maintainers [Jeremy Hull][sr] and [Igor Kalnitsky][ik].
And last but not least, many bugs have been fixed around correctness and
language detection.
Overall highlight.js currently supports 51 languages and 20 style themes.

Version 6.2
A lot of things happened in highlight.js since the last version! We've got nine
new contributors, the discussion group came alive, and the main branch on GitHub
now counts more than 350 followers. Here are most significant results coming
from all this activity:
- 5 (five!) new languages: Rust, ActionScript, CoffeeScript, MatLab and
experimental support for markdown. Thanks go to [Andrey Vlasovskikh][av],
[Alexander Myadzel][am], [Dmytrii Nagirniak][dn], [Oleg Efimov][oe], [Denis
Bardadym][db] and [John Crepezzi][jc].
- 2 new style themes: Monokai by [Luigi Maselli][lm] and stylistic imitation of
another well-known highlighter Google Code Prettify by [Aahan Krish][ak].
- A vast number of [correctness fixes and code refactorings][log], mostly made
by [Oleg Efimov][oe] and [Evgeny Stepanischev][es].

Version 6.1 — Solarized
[Jeremy Hull][jh] has implemented my dream feature — a port of [Solarized][]
style theme famous for being based on the intricate color theory to achieve
correct contrast and color perception. It is now available for highlight.js in
both variants — light and dark.
This version also adds a new original style Arta. Its author pumbur maintains a
[heavily modified fork of highlight.js][pb] on GitHub.

Version 6.0
New major version of the highlighter has been built on a significantly
refactored syntax. Due to this it's even smaller than the previous one while
supporting more languages!
New languages are:
- Haskell by [Jeremy Hull][sourrust]
- Erlang in two varieties — module and REPL — made collectively by [Nikolay
Zakharov][desh], [Dmitry Kovega][arhibot] and [Sergey Ignatov][ignatov]
- Objective C by [Valerii Hiora][vhbit]
- Vala by [Antono Vasiljev][antono]

bugs.
Developer overview of the new language syntax is available in a [blog post about
recent beta release][beta].
[beta]: http://softwaremaniacs.org/blog/2011/04/25/highlight-js-60-beta/en/
P.S. New version is not yet available on a Yandex CDN, so for now you have to
download [your own copy][d].

Version 5.14
Fixed bugs in HTML/XML detection and relevance introduced in previous
refactoring.
Also test.html now shows the second best result of language detection by
relevance.
Version 5.13
Past weekend began with a couple of simple additions for existing languages but
ended up in a big code refactoring bringing along nice improvements for language
developers.
For users
- Description of C++ has got new keywords from the upcoming [C++ 0x][] standard.
- Description of HTML has got new tags from [HTML 5][].
- CSS-styles have been unified to use consistent padding and also have lost
pop-outs with names of detected languages.
- [Igor Kalnitsky][ik] has sent two new language descriptions: CMake & VHDL.
This makes total number of languages supported by highlight.js to reach 35.
Bug fixes:
- Custom classes on
tags are not being overridden anymore containers:[c++ 0x]: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x
The most significant change is the ability to include language submodes right
under contains instead of defining explicit named submodes in the main array:
contains: [ 'string', 'number', {begin: '\\n', end: hljs.IMMEDIATE_RE} ]
This is useful for auxiliary modes needed only in one place to define parsing.
Note that such modes often don't have className and hence won't generate a
separate in the resulting markup. This is similar in effect to
noMarkup: true. All existing languages have been refactored accordingly.
Test file test.html has at last become a real test. Now it not only puts the detected language name under the code snippet but also tests if it matches the expected one. Test summary is displayed right above all language snippets.
Fine people at [Yandex][] agreed to host highlight.js on their big fast servers. [Link up][l]!
[yandex]: http://yandex.com/ [l]: http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/download/
Though I'm on a vacation in Paris, I decided to release a new version with a couple of small fixes:
- Tomas Vitvar discovered that TAB replacement doesn't always work when used with custom markup in code
A long-awaited version is finally released.
New languages:
- Andrew Fedorov made a definition for Lua
[pl]: http://kung-fu-tzu.ru/
Fixes for existing languages:
- [Loren Segal][ls] reworked the Ruby definition and added highlighting for [YARD][] inline documentation
[ls]: http://gnuu.org/ [yard]: http://yardoc.org/
The highlighter has become more usable as a library allowing to do highlighting from initialization code of JS frameworks and in ajax methods (see. readme.eng.txt).
Also this version drops support for the [WordPress][wp] plugin. Everyone is welcome to [pick up its maintenance][p] if needed.
[wp]: http://wordpress.org/ [p]: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~isagalaev/+junk/highlight/annotate/342/src/wp_highlight.js.php
- Jan Berkel has contributed a definition for Scala. +1 to hotness!
tags to avoid
Fixed escaping of quotes in VBScript strings.
This version brings a small change: now .ini-files allow digits, underscores and square brackets in key names.
Fixed small but upsetting bug in the packer which caused incorrect highlighting of explicitly specified languages. Thanks to Andrew Fedorov for precise diagnostics!
The version to fulfil old promises.
The most significant change is that highlight.js now preserves custom user markup in code along with its own highlighting markup. This means that now it's possible to use, say, links in code. Thanks to [Vladimir Dolzhenko][vd] for the [initial proposal][1] and for making a proof-of-concept patch.
Also in this version:
- [Vasily Polovnyov][vp] has sent a GitHub-like style and has implemented support for CSS @-rules and Ruby symbols.
[1]: http://softwaremaniacs.org/forum/highlightjs/6612/
- at last it's possible to replace indentation TABs with something sensible (e.g. 2 or 4 spaces)
This is one of those nice version consisting entirely of new and shiny contributions!
- [Vladimir Ermakov][vooon] created highlighting for AVR Assembler
[vooon]: http://vehq.ru/about/ [rukeba]: http://rukeba.com/ [drake]: http://drakeguan.org/ [ke]: http://k-evdokimenko.moikrug.ru/
The main change in the new major version of highlight.js is a mechanism for packing several languages along with the library itself into a single compressed file. Now sites using several languages will load considerably faster because the library won't dynamically include additional files while loading.
Also this version fixes a long-standing bug with Javascript highlighting that couldn't distinguish between regular expressions and division operations.
And as usually there were a couple of minor correctness fixes.
Great thanks to all contributors! Keep using highlight.js.
This version comes with two contributions from [Jason Diamond][jd]:
- language definition for C# (yes! it was a long-missed thing!)
Plus there are a couple of minor bug fixes for parsing HTML and XML attributes.
[jd]: http://jason.diamond.name/weblog/
The biggest news is highlighting for Lisp, courtesy of Vasily Polovnyov. It's somewhat experimental meaning that for highlighting "keywords" it doesn't use any pre-defined set of a Lisp dialect. Instead it tries to highlight first word in parentheses wherever it makes sense. I'd like to ask people programming in Lisp to confirm if it's a good idea and send feedback to [the forum][f].

In other news. [One small bug][bug] was fixed, built-in keywords were added for Python and C++ which improved auto-detection for the latter (it was shame that [my wife's blog][alenacpp] had issues with it from time to time). And lastly thanks go to Sam for getting rid of my stylistic comments in code that were getting in the way of [JSMin][].

Changing of a major version number caused by a new format of language definition
A very nice version in my opinion fixing a number of small bugs and slightly increased speed in a couple of corner cases. Thanks to everybody who reports bugs in he [forum][f] and by email!
There is also a new language — XML. A custom XML formerly was detected as HTML
and didn't highlight custom tags. In this version I tried to make custom XML to
be detected and highlighted by its own rules. Which by the way include such
things as CDATA sections and processing instructions ().

[Vladimir Gubarkov][xonix] has provided an interesting and useful addition. File export.html contains a little program that shows and allows to copy and paste an HTML code generated by the highlighter for any code snippet. This can be useful in situations when one can't use the script itself on a site.

Many thanks to you all!
Three new languages are available: Django templates, SQL and Axapta. The latter two are sent by [Dmitri Roudakov][1]. However I've almost entirely rewrote an SQL definition but I'd never started it be it from the ground up :-)
The engine itself has got a long awaited feature of grouping keywords ("keyword", "built-in function", "literal"). No more hacks!

It is major mainly because now highlight.js has grown large and has become modular. Now when you pass it a list of languages to highlight it will dynamically load into a browser only those languages.
Also:
- Konstantin Evdokimenko of [RibKit][] project has created a highlighting for RenderMan Shading Language and RenderMan Interface Bytestream. Yay for more languages!
There is also a small backwards incompatible change in the new version. The function initHighlighting that was used to initialize highlighting instead of initHighlightingOnLoad a long time ago no longer works. If you by chance still use it — replace it with the new one.

Highlight.js is a parser, not just a couple of regular expressions. That said I'm glad to announce that in the new version 2.9 has support for:
- in-string substitutions for Ruby -- #{...}`
A maintenance release with more tuned heuristics. Fully backwards compatible.
- Nikita Ledyaev presents highlighting for VBScript, yay!
Fixed bugs were rather unpleasant so I encourage everyone to upgrade!
- Peter Leonov provides another improved highlighting for Perl
Also highlight.js homepage now lists sites that use the library. Feel free to add your site by [dropping me a message][mail] until I find the time to build a submit form.

Version 1.0 of javascript syntax highlighter is released!
It's the first version available with English description. Feel free to post your comments and question to [highlight.js forum][forum]. And don't be afraid if you find there some fancy Cyrillic letters -- it's for Russian users too :-)
