Daniel Shahaf 219184f046 Highlight backslash escapes in "" and $'' strings correctly. 
Remove highlighting of hex and octal escapes in "" strings (which don't parse
those escapes), add it to $'' strings (which do), and correct the regexps.
Also add support for unicode \u/\U escapes.

Fixes zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#196.

FAQ

Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?

zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls and after running compinit). Widgets created later will work, but will not update the syntax highlighting.

How are new releases announced?

There is currently no "push" announcements channel. However, the following alternatives exist:

How to tweak

Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts, see the highlighters directory for documentation and configuration settings.
