Here's the new release of GNU Source-Highlight.
From the low level point of view, the algorithm for finding the best matching regular expression was optimized; The strategy used by source-highlight is to select the first matching rule
- with empty prefix (or prefix containing only space characters, i.e., spaces or tabs) or
- with the smallest prefix.
As for end-user stuff, in C++ and Java, types used in variable and parameter definitions are now highlighted, see the example below.
/*
This is a classical Hello program
to test source-highlight with Java programs.
to have an html translation type
source-highlight -s java -f html --input Hello.java --output Hello.html
source-highlight -s java -f html < Hello.java > Hello.html
or type source-highlight --help for the list of options

Probably the main novelty is the possibility of specifying a line range, or multiple line ranges: only the lines in the input source that are in that range are actually in the output (--line-range). It is also possible to specify the sorrounding "context", i.e., the number of lines not in range that are put in the output anyway (--range-context); the context itself can be formatted with its own style. Finally, a range separator string can be specified, e.g., "..." (--range-separator). For instance, the following command
source-highlight -s java -f htmlgenerates the following output (note the gray lines of context)
--line-range="12-18","29-34" --line-number
--range-context=3 --range-separator="<...>"
-i test.java -o test_linerange_sep.html

Tiziano Muller wrote a configuration file for bash_completion, for source-highlight (thank you Tiziano).
Finally, two new language definitions were added: one for xorg configuration files, and one for the Scala programming language (thanks to Dean Wampler), here are some examples:
Xorg file
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
