ripgrep v0.2.7 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-29 // almost 4 years ago

  • 🐎 Performance improvements:

    • PERF #223: Added a parallel recursive directory iterator. This results in major performance improvements on large repositories.
    • PERF #11: ripgrep now uses the bytecount library for counting new lines. In some cases, ripgrep runs twice as fast. Use RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release --features 'simd-accel avx-accel' to get the fastest possible binary.

    🔋 Feature enhancements:

    • ➕ Added or improved file type filtering for Agda, Tex, Taskpaper, Markdown, asciidoc, textile, rdoc, org, creole, wiki, pod, C#, PDF, C, C++.
    • FEATURE #149: Add a new --no-messages flag that suppresses error messages. Note that rg foo 2> /dev/null also works.
    • FEATURE #159: Add a new -m/--max-count flag that limits the total number of matches printed for each file searched.

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #199: Fixed a bug where -S/--smart-case wasn't being applied correctly to literal optimizations.
    • BUG #203: Mention the full name, ripgrep, in more places. It now appears in the output of --help and --version. The repository URL is now also in the output of --help and the man page.
    • BUG #215: Include small note about how to search for a pattern that starts with a -.
