0.5.0
This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that includes one minor breaking
change, bug fixes and several new features including support for text encodings
other than UTF-8.
A notable accomplishment with respect to Rust is that ripgrep proper now only
contains a single unsafe
use (for accessing the contents of a memory map).
The breaking change is:
- FEATURE #380:
Line numbers are now hidden by default when ripgrep is printing to a tty
and the only thing searched is stdin.
Feature enhancements:
- Added or improved file type filtering for Ceylon, CSS, Elixir, HTML, log,
SASS, SVG, Twig - FEATURE #1:
Add support for additional text encodings, including automatic detection for
UTF-16 via BOM sniffing. Explicit text encoding support with the
-E/--encoding
flag was also added for latin-1, GBK, EUC-JP
and Shift_JIS, among others. The full list can be found here:
https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-encoding-get - FEATURE #129:
Add a new-M/--max-columns
flag that omits lines longer than the given
number of bytes. (Disabled by default!) - FEATURE #369:
A new flag,--max-filesize
, was added for limiting searches to files with
a maximum file size.
Bug fixes:
- BUG #52,
BUG #311:
Tweak how binary files are detected and handled. (We are slightly less
conservative and will no longer use memory without bound.) - BUG #326:
When --files flag is given, we should never attempt to parse positional
arguments as regexes. - BUG #327:
Permit the --heading flag to override the --no-heading flag. - BUG #340:
Clarify that the-u/--unrestricted
flags are aliases. - BUG #343:
Global git ignore config should use$HOME/.config/git/ignore
and not
$HOME/git/ignore
. - BUG #345:
Clarify docs for-g/--glob
flag. - BUG #381:
Add license files to each sub-crate. - BUG #383:
Use latest version of clap (for argv parsing). - BUG #392:
Fix translation of set globs (e.g.,{foo,bar,quux}
) to regexes. - BUG #401:
Add PowerShell completion file to Windows release. - BUG #405:
Fix bug when excluding absolute paths with the-g/--glob
flag.
