I didn't wait until September to do it, this year!
2019-09-26hlmod: update for highlight 3.51 API change
Quoting Amitai Schleier, who made this same change in ikiwiki[1], where lots of the public-inbox highlight code comes from: > As of 3.51, searchFile() is no longer provided in highlight's Perl > bindings (at least on NetBSD and OS X, as built from pkgsrc). This > leaves us falling through to getConfDir(), which has been gone > rather longer. > > From highlight git, it appears searchFile() and getFiletypesConfPath() > both originated in the 3.14 release. The latter is still available in > 3.51, and returns the same result searchFile() used to. Switch to it. So, this should still be compatible with the version of highlight.pm in Debian, but add support for newer versions as well.

2019-02-05hlmod: support "```$LANG" blocks in text
This is compatible with Markdown; but we still keep the WYSIWYG nature of plain-text with this. This is only intended for use with our documentation. Enabling any type of Markdown support for emails can lead to incompatibilities or interopability problems with alternative implementations.
2019-02-05hlmod: do_hl* performs src_escape immediately
We want to be able to take advantage of this in other modules
2019-02-05hlmod: make into a singleton
It turns out there's no point in having multiple instances of this or having to worry about destruction or destruction ordering. This will make it easier to reuse the one instance we have across different modules.
2019-02-05hlmod: hoist out do_hl_lang sub
We'll want to use to support highlighting syntax used by Markdown and possibly other markup languages (while retaining the raw plain-text layout and formatting).
2019-02-05viewvcs: cleanup utf8 handling
Favor in-place utf8::decode since it's a bit faster without method dispatch overhead; and don't care about validity just yet. HlMod->do_hl itself should return "utf8" strings, since other parts of our code can use it, so it's not the job of ViewVCS to post-process HlMod output.
2019-01-27hlmod: disable enclosing <pre> tag
We already have a <pre> tag in ViewVCS, and nesting <pre> inside the pre-existing <pre> overrides the "white-space:pre" we use to align line numbers.
2019-01-21highlight: initial wrapper and PSGI service
I'll probably expose the PSGI service for cgit; but it could be useful to others as well.
