+# pict-rs 0.5.13
+
+pict-rs is a simple image hosting microservice, designed to handle storing and retrieving images,
+animations, and videos, as well as providing basic image processing functionality.
+
+## Overview
+
+pict-rs 0.5.13 is a maintenance release aiming to enable better logging in some scenarios.
+
+### Features
+
+- [Colorless Logging](#colorless-logging)
+
+
+### Changes
+
+- [Remove Flume](#remove-flume)
+
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+There are no significant changes from 0.5.12. Upgrading should be as simple as pulling a new version
+of pict-rs.
+
+
+## Descriptions
+
+### Colorless Logging
+
+When opting to use the `json` logger, the tracing subscriber automatically disables colored output.
+This didn't remove colors from errors, though, and pict-rs hasn't had a way to disable colors while
+using other log formats. pict-rs 0.5.13 introduces a new configuration value to remove colored
+output from all logs regardless of logging format.
+
+With pict-rs.toml
+```toml
+[tracing.logging]
+no_ansi = true
+```
+
+With environment variables
+```bash
+PICTRS__TRACING__LOGGING__NO_ANSI=true pict-rs run
+```
+
+With commandline flags
+```bash
+pict-rs --no-log-ansi run
+```
+
+Colors in logs can be useful, so I imagine this option won't be used much. There has been a request
+for this functionality though and it's little cost to maintain.
+
+
+### Remove Flume
+
+Recently I've been debugging a memory usage issue in another project of mine. I wasn't able to fully
+track down the cause, but I did notice that removing the
+[flume channel library](https://github.com/zesterer/flume) seemed to make the leak go away. Since I
+also use flume in pict-rs, I'm opting to replace it with tokio's native channel implementation. This
+may or may not improve memory usage, but it does reduce the depenency count and therefore build time
+for pict-rs.
