[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#864983: highlight.js: New upstream version available in experimental, upload to unstable

[Ximin Luo]

Source: highlight.js
Version: 8.2+ds-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've uploaded a new version of highlight.js to Debian experimental. Now that
the freeze is over, I'd like to upload it to unstable soon. The next version of
rust will need this version (>= 9) for its documentation, and I'd like to
upload that to unstable soon as well.

I've CCd the maintainers of the packages that depend on this library to ensure
that their packages still work against version 9. To these people: please
install the highlight.js packages from Debian experimental and verify that they
don't break your packages.

Here are the changes from 8:

https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js/blob/master/CHANGES.md#version-9110

In particular, in Version 9.0.0:

"This change is backwards incompatible for those who uses highlight.js with a
custom stylesheet. The new style guide explains how to write styles in this new
world."

If I hear no response within TWO WEEKS (July 2) I will go ahead and upload 9
to unstable. If people mention that are issues before then, I'll be happy to
delay this upload. I hope that's reasonable.
