Any problem, create a new issue here: http://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow/issues

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### What is improved ?

- smoother and faster. (linear time complexity)
- the code is shorter and easier to be read now. (shorter than 100 lines)
- no limit of parentheses levels.
- separately edit guifgs and ctermfgs (the colors used to highlight)
- now you can design your own parentheses  such as 'begin' and 'end' . (you can also design  what kinds of parentheses to use for different filetypes. )
- you can also configure seprately for different type of files.
- now you can even decide to let some operators (like + - * / , ==) hilighted with the parentheses together.
- now json style configuration used, more understandable and more readable, easily for advanced configuration.
- the last , but not the least , the chinese statement is added as you see.
