    🗄 Grammar Deprecations:

    • 🗄 Deprecate c-like, though you should not be using it directly anyways.
      • will be removed in v11.
    • c and cpp are now wholly unique grammars that will diverge over time

    📜 Parser:

    • 🆕 new simpler highlightAll() API (#2962) Josh Goebel
      • this should be a drop-in replacement for both initHighlighting() and initHighlightingOnLoad()
      • note: it does not prevent itself from being called multiple times (as the previous API did)
    • beginKeyword no longer bestows double relevance (#2953) Josh Goebel
    • 👍 allow keywords to be an array of strings Josh Goebel
    • add modes.MATCH_NOTHING_RE that will never match
      • This can be used with end to hold a mode open (it must then be ended with endsParent in one of it's children modes) Josh Goebel

    🗄 Deprecations:

    • 🗄 initHighlighting() and initHighlightingOnLoad() deprecated.
      • Please use the new highlightAll() API instead.
      • Deprecated as of 10.6.
      • These will both be aliases to highlightAll in v11.
