ripgrep 0.4.0
This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that includes a couple very minor breaking changes, a few new features and lots of bug fixes.
This version of ripgrep upgrades its regex dependency from 0.1 to 0.2,
which includes a few minor syntax changes:
- POSIX character classes now require double bracketing. Previously, the regex
[:upper:]would parse as theupperPOSIX character class. Now it parses as the character class containing the characters:upper:. The fix to this change is to use[[:upper:]]instead. Note that variants like[[:upper:][:blank:]]continue to work. - The character
[must always be escaped inside a character class. - The characters
&,-and~must be escaped if any one of them are repeated consecutively. For example,[&],[\&],[\&\&],[&-&]are all equivalent while[&&]is illegal. (The motivation for this and the prior change is to provide a backwards compatible path for adding character class set notation.)
