0.17.0

Thanks to the many contributors! Particular highlights are

Thanks to @bash's work, delta now automatically detects whether your terminal has a light/dark background (unless you specify with --light or --dark):

• Detect Dark/Light Mode from Terminal by @bash in #1615

@joshtriplett solved the long-standing problem of correctly parsing traditional grep output, e.g. git grep, grep, etc. Until now there had been annoying parse ambiguities related to separator characters in file paths. This is particularly valuable for git grep since it has interesting features such as git grep -W (see #769)

• Parse filename unambiguously using color escape sequences by @joshtriplett in #1634

@imbrish fixed two important bugs and added the ability to set a default language (e.g. for executable shell scripts with no file name suffix)

• Honor default-language option by @imbrish in #1655
• Preserve "Binary files" line in color_only mode by @imbrish in #1649
• Fix headers of modified binary files by @imbrish in #1629
