ripgrep 11 is a new major version release of ripgrep that contains many bug
fixes, some performance improvements and a few feature enhancements. Notably,
ripgrep's user experience for binary file filtering has been improved. See the
guide's new section on binary data for more details.

In case you haven't heard of it before, ripgrep is a line-oriented search
tool that recursively searches your current directory for a regex pattern. By
default, ripgrep will respect your .gitignore and automatically skip hidden
files/directories and binary files.

This release also marks a change in ripgrep's versioning. Where as the previous
version was 0.10.0, this version is 11.0.0. Moving forward, ripgrep's
major version will be increased a few times per year. ripgrep will continue to
be conservative with respect to backwards compatibility, but may occasionally
introduce breaking changes, which will always be documented in this CHANGELOG.
See issue 1172 for a bit
more detail on why this versioning change was made.

This release increases the minimum supported Rust version from 1.28.0 to
1.34.0.

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • ripgrep has tweaked its exit status codes to be more like GNU grep's. Namely,
    if a non-fatal error occurs during a search, then ripgrep will now always
    emit a 2 exit status code, regardless of whether a match is found or not.
    Previously, ripgrep would only emit a 2 exit status code for a catastrophic
    error (e.g., regex syntax error). One exception to this is if ripgrep is run
    with -q/--quiet. In that case, if an error occurs and a match is found,
    then ripgrep will exit with a 0 exit status code.
  • Supplying the -u/--unrestricted flag three times is now equivalent to
    supplying --no-ignore --hidden --binary. Previously, -uuu was equivalent
    to --no-ignore --hidden --text. The difference is that --binary disables
    binary file filtering without potentially dumping binary data into your
    terminal. That is, rg -uuu foo should now be equivalent to grep -r foo.
  • The avx-accel feature of ripgrep has been removed since it is no longer
    necessary. All uses of AVX in ripgrep are now enabled automatically via
    runtime CPU feature detection. The simd-accel feature does remain available
    (only for enabling SIMD for transcoding), however, it does increase
    compilation times substantially at the moment.
