Version 9.0.0

The new major version brings a reworked styling system. Highlight.js now defines a limited set of highlightable classes giving a consistent result across all the styles and languages. You can read a more detailed explanation and background in the [tracking issue][#348] that started this long process back in May.

This change is backwards incompatible for those who uses highlight.js with a custom stylesheet. The [new style guide][sg] explains how to write styles in this new world.

Bundled themes have also suffered a significant amount of improvements and may look different in places, but all the things now consistent and make more sense. Among others, the Default style has got a refresh and will probably be tweaked some more in next releases. Please do give your feedback in our [issue tracker][issues].
