Description

This is noted as a breaking change, though it will actually only affect new installs.

Rationale: we are the fancy MySQL client. Let's use the fancy format. In 2026, terminals have Unicode support.

Preparation for release 2.0.

The test myclirc file remains set to ascii to avoid changing many tests.

Example (with non-default colors):

Checklist

  • I added this contribution to the changelog.md file.
  • I added my name to the AUTHORS file (or it's already there).
  • To lint and format the code, I ran
    uv run ruff check && uv run ruff format && uv run mypy --install-types .
