Sourced from colored's changelog.

Unreleased

• Updated top-level docs to include a note about ColoredString's role in the Colorize pipeline as well as link to it to suggest learning more about how to manipulate existing ColoredString's.
• Changes to ColoredString:
  • Expose fields.
  • [DEPRECATION]: Deprecated methods fgcolor, bgcolor, and style due to their obsolescence in the face of the exposing of their represented fields.
  • Add methods for clearing specific elements of fgcolor, bgcolor, and style.
  • Change Default implementation to be via derive as Style now implements Default (see changes to Style below).
  • Add implementation of DerefMut.
  • Updated docs to reflect the above changes as well as generally greatly expand them.
• Changes to Style:
  • Implemented Default for Style (returns CLEAR). This exposes a method by which users can create plain Style's from scratch.
  • Implemented From<Styles> for Style. This lets users easily create Style's from specific styles.
  • Exposed previously private method add.
  • Created method remove which essentially does the opposite.
  • Added builder-style methods in the vein of Colorize to add stylings (e.g. bold, underline, italic, strikethrough).
  • Implemented bitwise operators BitAnd, BitOr, BitXor, and Not as well as their representative assignment operators. You can also use a Styles as an operand for these.
  • Implemented FromIterator<Styles> for Style.
• Changes to Styles:
  • Implemented bitwise operators BitAnd, BitOr, BitXor, and Not which all combine Styles's and output Style's. These can also take a Style as an operand.
• Added additional testing for all of the above changes.
• Added methods with_style and with_color_and_style to Colorize.
