fd v6.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-11-16 // over 6 years ago

  • 🔄 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)
