exa v0.4.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-10-18 // over 8 years ago
  • So a while back I decided to add lots more info to exa's site, and unknowingly described a bunch of features that were in the development version but not the release version! So this is a kind-of emergency release to allow everybody to use those features, even those using the released versions.

    The downside of this is that I did mark some features as ones I wanted to complete before the v0.4.0 milestone. All that's happened is the version that they'll show up in has been renamed, but they're all still on my radar.

    โž• Additions

    • Add --grid --long view, which splits the details into multiple columns (090cebe)
    • ๐Ÿ‘ Allow --tree without --long, which displays a tree view without any details (e1f4ea9)

    ๐Ÿ”„ Changes

    • ๐Ÿ‘ DragonFlyBSD support (9601884, 6317417)
