• v8.1.0 Changes

  May 19, 2020

  🔋 Features

  • ➕ Add new --owner [user][:group] command-line option See #307 (pull #581) (@alexmaco)
    This can be used to filter results by ownership:

    files matching the 'exercise' pattern, owned by johnfd exercise --type file --owner john# files/directories that are not owned by johnfd --owner '!john'# … owned by the 'students' groupfd --owner ':students'# … owned by the 'students' group, but not by johnfd --owner '!john:students'

  🏁 Note that the new option is currently not available on Windows.

  • ➕ Add support for a global ignore file (~/.config/fd/ignore on Unix), see #575 (@soedirgo)
  • 👀 Do not exit immediately if one of the search paths is missing, see #587 (@DJRHails)

  🛠 Bugfixes

  • 🏁 Reverted a change from fd 8.0 that enabled colors on all Windows terminals (see below) in order to support older Windows versions again, see #577. Unfortunately, this re-opens #469

  🔄 Changes

• v8.0.0 Changes

  April 16, 2020

  🔋 Features

  • ➕ Add a new -l/--list-details option to show more details about the search results. This is
    basically an alias for --exec-batch ls -l with some additional ls options.
    This can be used in order to:
    • see metadata like permissions, owner, file size, modification times (#491)
    • see symlink targets (#482)
    • achieve a deterministic output order (#324, #196, #159)
  • ➕ Add a new --max-results=<count> option to limit the number of search results, see #472, #476 and #555
    This can be useful to speed up searches in cases where you know that there are only N results.
    Using this option is also (slightly) faster than piping to head -n <count> where fd can only
    exit when it finds the search results <count> + 1.
  • ➕ Add the alias -1 for --max-results=1, see #561. (@SimplyDanny).
  • ➕ Add new --type socket and --type pipe filters, see #511.
  • ➕ Add new --min-depth <depth> and --exact-depth <depth> options in addition to the existing option
    👀 to limit the maximum depth. See #404.
  • 👌 Support additional ANSI font styles in LS_COLORS: faint, slow blink, rapid blink, dimmed, hidden and strikethrough.

  🛠 Bugfixes

  • Preserve non-UTF8 filenames: invalid UTF-8 filenames are now properly passed to child-processes
    when using --exec, --exec-batch or --list-details. In fd's output, we replace non-UTF-8
    sequences with the "�" character. However, if the output of fd goes to another process, we
    👀 print the actual bytes of the filename. For more details, see #558 and #295.
  • 💅 LS_COLORS entries with unsupported font styles are not completely ignored, see #552

  🔄 Changes

  • 🏁 Colored output will now be enabled by default on older Windows versions.
    👍 This allows the use of colored output if the terminal supports it (e.g.
    MinTTY, Git Bash). On the other hand, this will be a regression for users
    🏁 on older Windows versions with terminals that do not support ANSI escape
    sequences. Affected users can use an alias fd="fd --color=never" to
    continue using fd without colors. There is no change of behavior for
    🏁 Windows 10. See #469.
  • When using --glob in combination with --full-path, a * character does not match a path
    separation character (/ or \\) anymore. You can use ** for that. This allows things like
    fd -p -g '/some/base/path/*/*/*.txt' which would previously match to arbitrary depths (instead
    👀 of exactly two folders below /some/base/path. See #404.
  • 🚚 "Legacy" support to use fd -exec (with a single dash) has been removed. Use fd -x or
    fd --exec instead.
  • Overall improved error handling and error messages.

  Other

  • 🍎 Package maintainers on MacOS and Windows might think about adding (GNU) ls as an optional dependency for fd to make full use of fds new -l/--list-details option. For MacOS, fd relies on gls which should be available via coreutils.
  • 🌐 Korean translation of the README, see: 한국어 (@spearkkk)

• v7.5.0 Changes

  March 22, 2020

  🔋 Features

  • ➕ Added --one-file-system (aliases: --mount, --xdev) to not cross file system boundaries on Unix and Windows, see #507 (@FallenWarrior2k).
  • ➕ Added --base-directory to change the working directory in which fd is run, see #509 and #475 (@hajdamak).
  • 👀 fd will not use colored output if the NO_COLOR environment variable is set, see #550 and #551 (@metadave).
  • 👀 fd --exec will return exit code 1 if one of the executed commands fails, see #526 and #531 (@fusillicode and @Giuffre)

  🐛 Bug Fixes

  • 🛠 Fixed 'command not found' error when using zsh completion, see #487 (@barskern).
  • 👀 fd -L should include broken symlinks, see #357 and #497 (@tommilligan, @neersighted and @sharkdp)
  • 👀 Display directories even if we don't have permission to enter, see #437 (@sharkdp)

  🔄 Changes

  • 👀 A flag can now be passed multiple times without producing an error, see #488 and #496 (@rootbid).
  • 👀 Search results are sorted when using the -X option to match the behaviour of piping to xargs, see #441 and #524 (@Marcoleni @crash-g).

• v7.4.0 Changes

  September 15, 2019

  🐎 Performance improvements

  • 📇 Reduce number of stat syscalls, improving the performance for searches where file metadata is
    👀 required (--type, --size, --changed-within, …), see #434 (@tavianator)
  • 🐎 Use jemalloc by default, improving the performance for almost all searches, see #481. Note that
    Windows and *musl* builds do not profit from this.

  🔋 Features

  • ➕ Added a new -g/--glob option to switch to glob-based searches (instead of regular expression
    based searches). This is accompanied by a new --regex option that can be used to switch back,
    👀 if users want to alias fd="fd --glob". See #284
  • ➕ Added a new --path-separator <sep> option which can be useful for Windows users who
    👀 want/need fd to use / instead of \, see #428 and #153 (@mookid)
  • ➕ Added support for hidden files on Windows, see #379
  • When fd is run with the --exec-batch/-X option, it now exposes the exit status of the
    👀 command that was run, see #333.
  • 👀 Exit immediately when Ctrl-C has been pressed twice, see #423

  🛠 Bugfixes

  • 👀 Make --changed-within/--changed-before work for directories, see #470

  Other

  • 👀 Pre-built fd binaries should now be available for armhf targets, see #457 (@detly)
  • 🐧 fd is now available on Alpine Linux, see #451 (@5paceToast)
  • 👀 fd is now in the officla FreeBSD repositories, see #412 (@t6)
  • ➕ Added OpenBSD install instructions, see #421 (@evitalis)
  • ➕ Added metadata to the Debian package, see #416 (@cathalgarvey)
  • 👀 fd can be installed via npm, see #438 (@pablopunk)

• v7.3.0 Changes

  February 13, 2019

  🔋 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)
  • 📚 Various documentation improvements, see #389

  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)
  • ➕ Added --search-path option which can be supplied to replace the positional path argument at any position.
