Changes

• perf: much faster (2x to 5x depending on the workload)
  • detect and apply better algorithms before starting
  • mmap support
• feat: you can now pass a file path as argument to tuc
• feat: add the ability to display fallback output when a field is out of bound
  (you can set it per-field using -f <range>=somefallback or by providing
  a default fallback with --fallback-oob somefallback)
  (it will be opened with mmap if available and as long as --no-mmap is not set)
• feat: it is now possible to type \t while formatting fields and
  output a TAB (as we already do for \n) e.g. -f '{1}\t{2}'
• feat: new argument --fixed-memory (-M) to cut lines in chunks of
  a fixed size (in kilobytes), to allow cutting arbitrary long lines
• feat: --characters now depends on the (default) regex feature
• feat: ignore broken pipe when feeding output to tools such as head
• feat: display short help when run without arguments
• feat: help and short help are colored, as long as output is a tty and
  unless env var TERM=dumb or NO_COLOR (any value) is set
• chore: --json internally uses serde_json, faster and more precise
• chore: improved test coverage

Changes

• feat: new option --json to format output as JSON array
• feat: -r can be used when cutting --characters. It replaces
  the (empty) delimiter between characters with whatever you provided
• feat: exit early when some combinations of fields cannot be used together
• feat: updated dependencies. In particular the regex crate which offers new
  functionalities (word boundary assertions)
• fix: field formatting is now applied to field 1 even if no delimiters
  are found (similar to how we print the unformatted field 1)
• doc: many error messages have been rewritten for better clarity
• doc: new svg demo in the README

Changes

• feat: no more need to pass --join when using --replace, it's implied
• feat: new error messages when applying some incompatible options
• doc: improved documentation, help, man page
• doc: mention that --regex requires an argument
• test: improved test coverage
• fix: better error message when --regex argument is missing

Time for a new release, 1.0.0 !
Since no known bugs have been found since a while, it's time to give a sense of maturity with a 1.0.0 release.

Changes

• refactor: regex feature is enabled by default
• perf: disable unnecessary regex features to reduce binary size
• refactor: check fields bounds using unsigned_abs
• chore: updated dependencies
• chore: prebuilt binaries are built with rust 1.67.1
• doc: added link to tuc playground
• doc: fix typos

For maintainers: first, thank you. You help so many projects with your valuable work.
With the release of 1.0.0 I took the decision to compile tuc with regex support enabled by default. This means that prebuilt binaries have changed from tuc and tuc-regex to tuc (now with regex) and tuc-lite (tuc-lite is tuc without regex support, to offer a smaller binary). I believe is best for tuc to have regex support by default: sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if tuc-lite is meaningful for every distribution/OS out there, I'll leave that decision up to you. And thanks again.
