# News
* 15-06-2019
- A new architecture for defining the highlighting for **specific commands**: it now
uses **abstract definitions** instead of **top-down, regular code**. The first effect
is the highlighting for the `git` command it is now **maximally faithful**, it
follows the `git` command almost completely.
