    🔋 Features

    • 🆕 New --exec-batch <cmd>/-X <cmd> option for batch execution of commands, see #360 (@kimsnj).
      This allows you to do things like:

      fd … -X vim # open all search results in vim (or any other editor)fd … -X ls -l # view detailed stats about the search results with 'ls'fd -e svg -X inkscape # open all SVG files in Inkscape

    • 👌 Support for 24-bit color codes (when specified via LS_COLORS) as well as
      💅 different font styles (bold, italic, underline).

    🔄 Changes

    • 🐎 A few performance improvements, in particular when printing lots of colorized
      👀 results to the console, see #370
    • 👀 The LS_COLORS handling has been "outsourced" to a separate crate (https://github.com/sharkdp/lscolors) that is now being used by other tools as well: fselect, lsd. For details, see #363.

    Other

    • 👀 fd will be available in Ubuntu Disco DIngo (19.04), see #373 (@sylvestre)
    • 🚀 This release should come with a static ARM binary (arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf), see #320 (@duncanfinney)

    October 27, 2018

    🔋 Features

    • ➕ Added support for filtering by file modification time by adding two new options --changed-before <date|duration> and --changed-within <..>. For more details, see the --help text, the man page, the relevant issue #165 and the PR #339 (@kimsnj)
    • ➕ Added --show-errors option to enable the display of filesystem error messages such as "permission denied", see #311 (@psinghal20 and @majecty)
    • ➕ Added --maxdepth as a (hidden) alias for --max-depth, see #323 (@mqudsi)

  • v6.0.0

    November 16, 2017

    🔄 Changes

    • The --exec/-x option does not spawn an intermediate shell anymore. This improves the
      🐎 performance of parallel command execution and fixes a whole class of (present and potentially
      future) problems with shell escaping. The drawback is that shell commands cannot directly be
      👀 called with --exec. See #155 for the full discussion. These changes have been implemented by
      @reima (Thanks!).

    🛠 Bugfixes

    • 🏁 --exec does not escape cmd.exe metacharacters on Windows (see #155, as above).

    Other

    • fd is now available in the FreeBSD ports (@andoriyu)
    • 🏗 The minimal rustc version is now checked when building with cargo, see #164 (@matematikaadit)
    • The output directory for the shell completion files is created if it does not exist (@andoriyu)

    • ➕ Added the --exclude, -X option to suppress certain files/directories in the search results
