[GitHub Release](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/releases/tag/v0.2.0) · lightweight tag · 221 commits since v0.1.1

Major milestone release that substantially closes the gap with Python Rich
feature parity. Adds seven new renderables/modules, a complete interactive
demo showcase ("Nebula Deploy"), conformance testing against Python Rich
fixtures, and significant performance work.

### New Renderables

- **Traceback** renderable with syntax-highlighted source context and
  optional runtime backtrace capture via `Traceback::capture` (feature
  `backtrace`). Source indentation preserved; "main" is no longer
  incorrectly filtered as an internal frame.

  erase, and terminal control (`rich.control` parity with conformance
  fixtures).

  (`rich.constrain` parity).
  ([24126e5](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/24126e5c0a8b305979d3607bdf183c517516fa3b))

## [0.1.0] -- 2026-01-19

[GitHub Release](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/releases/tag/v0.1.0) · annotated tag · 141 commits · initial release

First public release of rich_rust: a Rust port of Python's Rich library
for beautiful terminal output. Approximately 11,800 lines of idiomatic,
`#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` Rust across 20+ modules. Published to
[crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/rich_rust).

### Core Engine

- **Console** coordinator with automatic terminal capability detection
  (4-bit, 8-bit, 24-bit truecolor), configurable output streams, and
  ANSI SGR generation.
  ([b05abdb](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/b05abdbbe266fe84a12f020e998fde7c82c91e3c),
  [19b5187](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/19b518759f81c0a615ea87c16dcde86603f10820))
- **Style** system with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, dim,
  reverse, foreground/background colors, hyperlinks (`link_id`), and
  meta fields. LRU cache for `render_ansi()` output.
  ([d2ce02f](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/d2ce02f2a040545333248a0061d945980d58beff),
  [c67e00a](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/c67e00a6554388360a982dc58d8ce8d28dea9c07))
- **Text** with rich markup parsing (`[bold red]text[/]`), styled spans,
  and Unicode cell width handling.
- **Segment** as atomic rendering unit using `Cow<'a, str>` for
  zero-allocation paths.
  ([c4bf8fd](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/c4bf8fd5de0b6886b12e3d18a097dafe227a1a32))
- **Color** system covering standard 16, 256-color palette, and 24-bit
  RGB/hex. Validated against RICH_SPEC Section 1.
  ([d3c14c8](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/d3c14c80c234a6cd6e973f733b3b408e34ffd639))
- **Markup** parser for `[bold red]text[/]` style syntax.
- **Terminal** detection for dimensions, color support, Unicode
  capabilities, and legacy Windows console.
- **Renderable** trait for ergonomic `console.print_renderable()`
  dispatching; blanket impls for `str`/`String`.
  ([053d8aa](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/053d8aa4ab2f7f756c4d46d0b939207a1ab3da3d),
  [ca4d119](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/ca4d119afcfda526a2ab22343bc9525645b846f5))

### Renderables

- **Table** with auto-sizing columns, borders, headers/footers, leading
  support, vertical padding, and rounding correction in
  `collapse_widths()`.
  ([e160e4f](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/e160e4f4080bc806be70daa0a3d3db8dc7988bbf),
  [021b890](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/021b890d558d2ce4d00b1ff6b0f55b81a03b39da),
  [c3b5a36](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/c3b5a36004485f9c9ad38f56b6a8326d83f3d68f))
- **Panel** with box styles (rounded, square, heavy, double, ASCII),
  titles, subtitles, and padding.
  ([883eae4](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/883eae48c5669e3c3a728639ea35d57ae07c9a60))
- **Tree** with hierarchical data visualization and guide lines.
- **ProgressBar** with customizable progress tracking and spinners.
- **Rule** horizontal dividers with optional styled titles.
- **Columns** multi-column newspaper-style layout.
- **Padding** and **Align** layout helpers.

### Feature-gated Modules

- `syntax`: Syntax highlighting via syntect (100+ languages).
- `markdown`: Markdown rendering via pulldown-cmark (CommonMark + GFM).
- `json`: JSON pretty-printing with syntax highlighting.

### Performance Optimizations

- `Segment` uses `Cow<'a, str>` for zero-allocation rendering.
  ([c4bf8fd](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/c4bf8fd5de0b6886b12e3d18a097dafe227a1a32))
- `Text::render` uses byte-index slicing to avoid intermediate `String`
  allocations.
  ([109a60e](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/109a60e0c189ce4a381e0328cd376aa49c3ecdd1))
- `Style::render_ansi` returns `Arc`-cached strings to reduce cloning
  in the hot path.

  ([18b8286](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/18b8286ff7f89b4ec6009e7773daf48ba0e4579a))
- Markdown multi-paragraph fix, rule truncation, `highlight_regex`
  optimization.
  ([7ac74ee](https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/rich_rust/commit/7ac74eed7c713ca22aa1dacc888318ed49ee20ef))
