 ## Features

+- Add `-b` / `--number-nonblank` flag to only number non-blank lines, for `cat -b` compatibility. Closes #3856, see #3857 (@MeGaurav4)
 - Add a `--sanitize=<auto|always|never>` flag for safe display of untrusted input. It implies `--strip-ansi` at the same value and additionally substitutes terminal-active control bytes (cursor moves, charset switches, beep, etc.) and Unicode bidi / zero-width formatting characters with the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD). Mitigates Trojan-Source-style spoofing (CVE-2021-42574). See #3729 (@curious-rabbit)
 - Map justfile, Justfile, .justfile, and *.justfile to Makefile syntax highlighting, see #3623 (@zachvalenta)
 - Preserve `--diff` change markers and snip separators when `--plain` is set. Closes #3630, see #3643 (@mvanhorn)

 - Syntax highlighting for Python files using uv as script runner in shebang #3689 (@janlarres)

 ## Bugfixes
+- Avoid repeated scans of long lines in Log syntax highlighting, see #3876 (@Matei02355)
 - Fix `--list-languages` respecting `--paging=never`, see #3828 (@cyphercodes)
 - Fix `--sanitize` passing through the bidi control characters U+200E, U+200F and U+061C, see #3862 (@lenamonj)
 - `--strip-ansi`: also strip 8-bit C1 introducers (U+0090, U+0098, U+009B, U+009D, U+009E, U+009F) and DCS/SOS/PM/APC sequence bodies, which previously passed through. See #3729 (@curious-rabbit)

MeGaurav4	061fb216cb	feat: implement `-b` / `--number-nonblank` for `cat -b` compatibility Adds a `-b` / `--number-nonblank` flag that numbers only non-blank lines. Blank lines (those containing only the line terminator) are printed without a number and don't advance the counter, matching `cat -b` behaviour. - `-b` implies `--style=numbers` (same as `-n`), but only counts non-blank lines - `-b` takes precedence over `-n`: both `-bn` and `-nb` behave like `-b` - `-bp` disables numbering (plain mode wins) - Works with files, stdin, and piped output (like `-n`) Closes #3856.	2026-08-11 11:48:10 +05:30

Matt Van Horn	530e83a455	feat: bat auto-detects language from stdin via first-line patterns When piped input has no filename hint, bat falls back to plain text. Many common formats can be reliably identified by shebang or magic-string in the first line (#!/bin/bash, <?xml, {"json: ...}, etc.). Adds a first-line pattern matcher to assets.rs. Fixes #3697	2026-05-16 13:51:00 -07:00
