git-delta 0.2.0

on Rust Cargo

This is a large release, introducing major changes to delta configuration as well as new features and bug fixes. It involved a major overhaul of the code base. Many thanks to everyone who submitted issues, PRs, and helped with testing and feedback, in particular @0xC0FFEE, @boris-petrov, @clnoll, @da-x, @gibfahn, @mk12, @phillipwood, @waldyrious.

The highlights are:

• To configure delta's appearance, you now use "styles" instead of background color names. A style is a string like red bold ul "#ffeeee" that specifies foreground color, background color, and attributes. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta#choosing-colors-styles.

• Delta now reads configuration from a [delta] section in git config, and this is the recommended way to configure delta. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta#configuration

• Delta now has a line numbers feature, thanks to @clnoll. See #190, #219

• Delta now has --diff-highlight and --diff-so-fancy emulation modes (thanks @waldyrious for much testing)
