I try to use the code, but get the following error
go get github.com/shiena/ansicolor
can't load package: package github.com/shiena/ansicolor: no buildable Go source

Hi @shiena

Thanks for this wonderful library. I'm curious if there is way to expose methods in the form of

ResetColor()
SetColor(atr ...Attribute)

So we could use it with conjunction :

SetColor("\x1b[30m", "\x1b[41m") // Black foreground, red background
fmt.Println("This text will be now in red background with black foregoreund)
fmt.Printf("This too!\n")
ResetColor() 

It would be very useful to change existing by wrapping it.

This library uses something similar: https://github.com/daviddengcn/go-colortext

I also use something similar but it doesn't have any windows support: https://github.com/fatih/color#plug-into-existing-code

I got the following panic from within this library:

panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range

The offending line is nw, err = cw.w.Write(p[first:last])

When setting the terminal color, ansicolor uses the file handle syscall.Stdout for the windows system calls.

In my use case, this is not sufficient. I am compiling my go application as a windows GUI application (no terminal) and, if the command-line argument "-console" is provided, I allocate a new console.

I'm using the following syscalls for that:

procAttachConsole = kernel32.MustFindProc("AttachConsole")
procAllocConsole  = kernel32.MustFindProc("AllocConsole")
procFreeConsole   = kernel32.MustFindProc("FreeConsole")

As a result, the syscall.stdout handle (=1) is not correct, but there is no way to configure another window handle.

Problem was discovered when using golangs ssh package. If an application tries to output escape sequences not recognized by ansicolor (e.g. if $TERM=xterm and you run top) then a short write error occurs and the stdout pipe would break (though the connection and stdin pipe still function).

Preferably, the unrecognized sequences would just be placed into the buffer untouched.

Not sure whether it is a Windows issue or ansicolor issue.
Light yellow and white works fine, but yellow broke.

package main

import (
	"io"
	"os"
	"sync"

	"github.com/shiena/ansicolor"
)

type logWriter struct {
	sync.Mutex
	writer io.Writer
}

func newLogWriter(wr io.Writer) *logWriter {
	return &logWriter{writer: wr}
}

func main() {
	w := newLogWriter(ansicolor.NewAnsiColorWriter(os.Stdout))
	w.writer.Write([]byte("\x1b[43m Yellow"))
	w.writer.Write([]byte("\x1b[103m Light Yellow"))
	w.writer.Write([]byte("\x1b[47m White \x1b[0m"))
}

At printing Japanese letter on chcp 65001, they are not displayed because the font is not enough. It is not problem. But, on printing next string, the first character is not displayed though it is alphabet.

（Japanese: chcp 65001 で、日本語を出そうとすると、フォントの関係で日本語が表示されません。それ自体は当然なのですが、それに続く次回の出力で表示可能なはずの１文字が欠けてしまう問題を確認しました。表示できない文字列が入力で入ってくる以上、正常動作できなくて当然ですが、もし可能であれば何かしら対応いただけると幸いです）

package main

import (
        "fmt"

func main() {
        w := ansicolor.NewAnsiColorWriter(os.Stdout)
        fmt.Fprint(w, "Green(\x1B[32mみどり\x1b[0m)")
        fmt.Fprint(w, "Blue(\x1B[34mあお\x1B[0m)")
        fmt.Fprint(w, "\n")
}

// vim:set fenc=utf8:

-> No Problem

-> The Problem is that Blue's B is not displayed.

Any chance you could take a SemVer based release for those of us who use versions? Something like 1.0.0 or v1.0.0.
