- 0.4.6 Current release
- #139 Add alternative to 'init()', called 'just_fix_windows_console'. This fixes many longstanding problems with 'init', such as working incorrectly on modern Windows terminals, and wonkiness when init gets called multiple times. The intention is that it just makes all Windows terminals treat ANSI the same way as other terminals do. Many thanks the njsmith for fixing our messes.
- #352 Support Windows 10's ANSI/VT console. This didn't exist when Colorama was created, and avoiding us causing havok there is long overdue. Thanks to segeviner for the initial approach, and to njsmith for getting it merged.
- #338 Internal overhaul of package metadata declaration, which abolishes our use of the now heavily discouraged setuptools (and hence setup.py, setup.cfg and MANIFEST.in), in favor of hatchling (and hence pyproject.toml), generously contributed by ofek (author of hatchling). This includes dropping support Python3.5 and 3.6, which are EOL, and were already dropped from setuptools, so this should not affect our users.
