Release Notes

0.0.1

This is the initial release. It identifies and colors keywords, identifiers, operators, strings, literals and comments. The pipe operator | is identified as punctuation.pipe.jq; you can add that to your color theme to give it a distinct color.

0.0.2

A couple of bug fixes:

• Allow underscore in variable names (thanks https://github.com/RossHammer)
• Add the elif keyword (thanks https://github.com/connesc)
