• Stanislav Belov wrote a new definition for 1C, replacing the one that has not been updated for more than 8 years. The new version supports syntax for versions 7.7 and 8.
• Nicolas LLOBERA improved C# definition fixing edge cases with function titles detection and added highlighting of [Attributes].

• Martin Clausen made annotation collections in Clojure to look consistently with other kinds.
• Alejandro Alonso updated Swift keywords.

The new major version brings a reworked styling system. Highlight.js now defines a limited set of highlightable classes giving a consistent result across all the styles and languages. You can read a more detailed explanation and background in the tracking issue that started this long process back in May.

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.

Bundled themes have also suffered a significant amount of improvements and may look different in places, but all the things now consistent and make more sense. Among others, the Default style has got a refresh and will probably be tweaked some more in next releases. Please do give your feedback in our issue tracker.
