 ## Packaging
 
+- Compilation problems with `onig_sys` on various platforms have been resolved by upgrading to `syntect 4.2`, which includes a new `onig` version that allows to build `onig_sys` without the `bindgen` dependency. This removes the need for `libclang(-dev)` to be installed to compile `bat`. Package maintainers might want to remove `clang` as a build dependency. See #650 for more details.
