ansi_term is Unmaintained

Details
Status	unmaintained
Package	ansi_term
Version	0.12.1
URL	ogham/rust-ansi-term#72
Date	2021-08-18

The maintainer has adviced this crate is deprecated and will not
receive any maintenance.

The crate does not seem to have much dependencies and may or may not be ok to use as-is.

Last release seems to have been three years ago.

Possible Alternative(s)

The below list has not been vetted in any way and may or may not contain alternatives;

• anstyle
• nu-ansi-term
• yansi

See advisory page for additional details.

(The advisory has since added the console crate as another alternative, which seems like a potentially decent option?)

There's already a PR to switch to nu-ansi-term at #2040.

Just a note that Windows does not have ANSI support by default and locked-down computers (i.e. in a corporate environment) won't be able to install it. Plus it garbles output if redirected into a file. Practically, I would say that tracing does not currently support colour in Windows.

owo-colors and termcolor don't seem to have this problem.

Any news on this one?

The fix #2287 seems already merged, but no release since the merge.
Waiting for the next release of tracing-subscriber.

Should be published soon, sorry for the delay!

Published tracing-subscriber v0.3.16, which now depends on nu-ansi-term.
