The culmination of several months of work by dozens of people, Flatpak 1.14.0 is now out!
I'm a fan of standalone binaries statically linked to musl for small command line applications. One such CLI app that releases this way is Pastel, a comprehensive color utility.

fd is looking for contributors
fd is my very first Rust project. In fact, if you go back in (Git) history, the project was originally written in C++. I have created various other Rust command-line tools since then, but I love coming back to fd, as I personally use it the most.

Colin - Cute color information tool.
How does this compare to pastel?

A list of new(ish) command line tools – Julia Evans
No such list is complete without hexyl!

huxdemp: A modernized hexdump, with colorized output, column reordering, and Lua plugins!
huxdemp has: - Colorized output! No more straining your eyes to distinguish different patterns of data. (from hexyl and many others) - Color customization! Depicted in the above screenshot, HUXD_COLORS can be set to customize the colors used. (Original.) - Column reordering! ([screenshot]()) The -f flag can be set to show output however you'd like. (Original.) - Lua plugins! If you pass an unrecognized value to -f, it will try to load and run a Lua script by that name in $LUA_PATH, allowing for user-defined columns. E.g., in [this screenshot](), an ebcdic column was defined with [this script](). (Original.) - CP437 output! The -t cp437 flag can be passed, ensuring that every byte value, from 0x0 to 0xFF, will have a unique glyph in the ASCII column (as opposed to using . for all non-printable characters). This makes distinguishing binary patterns in data far easier. ([screenshot](), [screenshot]()) (from xd) - Highlighting of Unicode codepoints! With the -u flag, bytes in the byte column that encode the same Unicode codepoint will be "highlighted". ([screenshot]()) - Automatic paging! If the output is too large to be viewed on a single screen, it will automatically be piped to less(1).
