+* The [CodeHilite][ch] Extension has gained a new config option: `use_pygments`.
+ The option is `True` by default, however, it allows one to turn off Pygments code
+ highlighting (set to `False`) while preserving the language detection features of
+ the extension. Note that Pygments language detection is not used as that would 'use
+ Pygments`. If a language is defined for a code block, it will be assigned to the
+ `<code>` tag as a class in the manner suggested by the [HTML5 spec][spec]
+ (alternate output will not be entertained) and might be used by a JavaScript
+ library in the browser to highlight the code block.

* Test coverage has been improved including running [flake8]. While those changes
will not directly effect end users, the code is being better tested which will
benefit everyone.
