v1.8.0

• Added new option backgroundcolor (alias bgcolor). This provides a
  basic, \colorbox-based implementation of background colors for commands
  and environments. Added new option backgroundcolorvphantom (alias
  bgcolorvphantom) for customizing background height. Added new option
  backgroundcolorpadding (alias bgcolorpadding) for customizing padding
  between text and the edge of the region with background color.

• Added option insertenvname. This customizes the verbatim environment
  used by \VerbatimInsertBuffer.

• When numberblanklines=false, highlightlines no longer highlights blank
  lines at the end of a highlighted range (#25, gpoore/minted#226).

• An unnecessary line break is no longer inserted before the last "word" of a
  line when it is preceded by a long "word" that is broken internally as a
  result of breakbefore, breakafter, or breakanywhere (#26).

• Added option breakpreferspaces (default true). This determines whether
  line breaks are preferentially inserted at normal spaces rather than at
  other locations allowed by breakbefore, breakafter, or breakanywhere
  (#26).

• Added option breakanywhereinlinestretch (gpoore/minted#387).

• \FVExtraReadVArg now takes a multi-line (but not multi-paragraph)
  verbatim argument. The new \FVExtraReadVArgSingleLine provides the old
  functionality of taking an argument restricted to a single line
  (gpoore/minted#376).

• By default, \Verb and \SaveVerb now take multi-line (but not
  multi-paragraph) verbatim arguments. The old behavior of requiring
  verbatim arguments to be on a single line can be restored by setting the
  new option vargsingleline to true.

• Added documentation for undocumented fancyvrb option listparameters
  (gpoore/minted#256).

• Expanded breaklines documentation with discussion of limitations and
  alternatives (gpoore/minted#400).

v1.7.0

• Added new command \VerbatimClearBuffer.

• VerbatimBuffer environments with the same buffer name now append to the
  same buffer, regardless of the value of globalbuffer. Previously,
  globalbuffer=false caused any pre-existing buffer to be cleared. Now,
  globalbuffer=false causes anything that is appended to the buffer to be
  removed at the end of the environment, but the entire buffer is not
  cleared.

• \FVExtraUnexpandedReadStarOArgMArgBVArg now checks that the final
  argument it reads is braced (#22).

• Text that immediately follows \VerbatimInsertBuffer is no longer indented
  to start a new paragraph.

• Updated tcblisting usage in docs for compatibility with the latest
  tcolorbox.

v1.6.1

• Fixed bug from v1.6 that caused a space following a comma to be lost (#21).

v1.6

• Added new environment VerbatimWrite. This is similar to fancyvrb's
  VerbatimOut, except that it allows for writing to a file multiple times
  and guarantees truly verbatim output via \detokenize.

• Added new environment VerbatimBuffer. This stores the contents of an
  environment verbatim in a "buffer," a sequence of numbered macros each of
  which contains one line of the environment. The "buffered" lines can then
  be looped over for further processing or later use.

• Added new command \VerbatimInsertBuffer. This inserts an existing buffer
  created by VerbatimBuffer as a Verbatim environment.

• Redefined visible space \FancyVerbSpace so that it now has the correct
  width. It had previously been redefined as \textvisiblespace, but that
  was slightly too narrrow.

• Added option spacebreak. This determines the line break that is inserted
  around spaces when showspaces=true or breakcollapsespaces=false, by
  defining the new macro \FancyVerbSpaceBreak.

• breakbefore, breakafter, and breakanywhere now produce plain breaks
  around spaces when showspaces=true, instead of breaks with a break symbol
  at the end of wrapped lines. \FancyVerbBreakAnywhereBreak,
  \FancyVerbBreakBeforeBreak, and \FancyVerbBreakAfterBreak are no longer
  inserted next to spaces. Instead, \FancyVerbSpaceBreak is inserted or
  (depending on options) \FV@Space is defined to include
  \FancyVerbSpaceBreak.

• Added option breakcollapsespaces. When true (default), a line break
  within a run of regular spaces (showspaces=false) replaces all spaces
  with a single break, and the wrapped line after the break starts with a
  non-space character. When false, a line break within a run of regular
  spaces preserves all spaces, and the wrapped line after the break may start
  with one or more spaces. This causes regular spaces to behave exactly like
  the visible spaces produced with showspaces; both give identical line
  breaks, with the only difference being the appearance of spaces.

• breaklines now automatically enables breaks after space characters when
  showspaces=true.

• Reimplemented definition of \FV@Space to work with new space options.

• Added documentation about how reimplemented commands handle the codes
  option differently compared to fancyvrb (#17).

• Starred commands such as \Verb* now use both visible spaces and visible
  tabs instead of just visible spaces. This is more similar to the current
  behavior of \verb*, except that \verb* converts tabs into visible
  spaces (#19).

• The mathescape option now resets the ampersand & catcode (#18).

v1.5

• Added \FancyVerbFormatInline for customizing the formatting of inline
  verbatim, such as \Verb. This parallels \FancyVerbFormatLine and
  \FancyVerbFormatText.

• Added line breaking option breaknonspaceingroup. When commandchars is
  used to allow macros within verbatim, this inserts breaks within groups
  {...}.

• Added \FVExtraUnexpandedReadStarOArgMArgBVArg to support reimplementation
  of \mintinline for minted.

• Added VerbEnv environment, which is an environment variant of \Verb.
  This supports reimplementation of \mintinline for minted.

• breakbefore and breakafter now support the escaped comma \, (#15).

• Fixed unintended line breaks after hyphens under LuaTeX (#14).

• Added documentation on Pandoc compatibility (#11).

• Replaced breakbeforegroup with breakbeforeinrun, and replaced
  breakaftergroup with breakafterinrun. With the introduction of
  breaknonspaceingroup, "group" is now reserved for referring to TeX
  groups {...}.

• Removed dependency on ifthen package.

• breakautoindent now works correctly with Pygments output that treats
  leading whitespace as a separate token or as part of a token.

v1.4

• Reimplemented \Verb. It now works as expected inside other commands
  (with a few limitations), including in movable arguments, and is compatible
  with hyperref for things like PDF bookmarks. It now supports
  breaklines and relevant line-breaking options.

• Reimplemented \SaveVerb and \UseVerb to be equivalent to the new
  \Verb. The new option retokenize allows saved verbatim material to be
  retokenized under new commandchars and codes when it is inserted with
  \UseVerb.

• New command \EscVerb works like the reimplemented \Verb, except that
  special characters can be escaped with a backslash. It works inside other
  commands without any limitations, including in movable arguments, and is
  compatible with hyperref for things like PDF bookmarks.

• Added extra option for switching between the reimplemented \Verb,
  \SaveVerb, \UseVerb and the original fancyvrb definitions.
  Reimplemented versions are used by default. This option will apply to any
  future reimplemented commands and environments.

• New command \fvinlineset only applies options to commands related to
  typesetting verbatim inline, like \Verb, \SaveVerb, \UseVerb. It
  only works with commands that are defined or reimplemented by fvextra.
  It overrides options from \fvset.

• Patched fancyvrb so that \Verb (either reimplemented version or
  original) can use characters like % for delimiters when used outside any
  commands.

• obeytabs now works with the calc package's redefined \setcounter.
  Since minted loads calc, this also fixes minted compatibility
  (minted #221).

• Added new option fontencoding (minted #208).

• highlightlines now works correctly with frame (#7).

v1.3.1

• beameroverlays now works with VerbatimOut

v1.3

• Added beameroverlays option, which enables beamer overlays using the
  < and > characters.

• Added options breakindentnchars, breaksymbolsepleftnchars (alias
  breaksymbolsepnchars), breaksymbolseprightnchars,
  breaksymbolindentleftnchars (alias breaksymbolindentnchars), and
  breaksymbolindentrightnchars. These are identical to the pre-existing
  options without the nchars suffix, except that they allow indentation to
  be specified as an integer number of characters rather than as a dimension.
  As a result of these new options, \settowidth is no longer used in the
  preamble, resolving some font incompatibilities (#4).

• Clarified in the docs that breaksymbolsepright is a minimum, rather
  than exact, distance.

v1.2.1

• The package is now compatible with classes and packages that redefine
  \raggedright.
• Fixed a bug that introduced extra space in inline contexts such as
  \mintinline when breaklines=true (#3).

v1.2

• Added support for line breaking when working with Pygments for syntax
  highlighting.
• The default highlightcolor is now defined with rgb for compatibility
  with the color package. Fixed a bug in the conditional color definition
  when color and xcolor are not loaded before fvextra.
