Announcing erdtree 3.0.0: A multi-threaded general purpose disk-usage and filesystem utility
I personally regret adding NO_COLOR support to termcolor. See https://github.com/BurntSushi/termcolor/pull/63 and https://github.com/BurntSushi/termcolor/issues/72.

Ouch 0.3.0 released!
I'm a little leery of clap taking on the role of color control. I've found that each library with "auto" support does it slightly differently and that really the best place for that policy is in the caller so there is a consistent experience and so it can adapt to the caller's needs. The WG-CLI has talked about this in the past and concolor family of crates is the result. I'm waiting on feedback for termcolor's use case (non-ANSI) before going 1.0 at which point we will probably make this the backend for clap's auto color support.
