ripgrep 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/--encodingflag 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-columnsflag 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/--unrestrictedflags are aliases. - BUG #343:
Global git ignore config should use
$HOME/.config/git/ignoreand not$HOME/git/ignore. - BUG #345:
Clarify docs for
-g/--globflag. - 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/--globflag.
