  • v0.4.4

    June 26, 2019

  • v0.4.0 Changes

    🚀 This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that includes a couple very 🛠 minor breaking changes, a few new features and lots of bug fixes.

    ⬆️ This version of ripgrep upgrades its regex dependency from 0.1 to 0.2, which includes a few minor syntax changes:

    • POSIX character classes now require double bracketing. Previously, the regex [:upper:] would parse as the upper POSIX character class. Now it parses as the character class containing the characters :upper:. The fix to this change is to use [[:upper:]] instead. Note that variants like [[:upper:][:blank:]] continue to work.
    • The character [ must always be escaped inside a character class.
    • The characters &, - and ~ must be escaped if any one of them are repeated consecutively. For example, [&], [\&], [\&\&], [&-&] are all equivalent while [&&] is illegal. (The motivation for this and the prior change is to provide a backwards compatible path for adding character class set notation.)

  • v0.3.1 Changes

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #242: ripgrep didn't respect --colors foo:none correctly. Now it does.

  • v0.3.0 Changes

    🚀 This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that includes two breaking 🐎 changes with lots of bug fixes and some new features and performance 👌 improvements. Notably, if you had a problem with colors or piping on Windows 🚀 before, then that should now be fixed in this release.

    💥 BREAKING CHANGES:

    • 🏗 ripgrep now requires Rust 1.11 to compile. Previously, it could build on Rust 1.9. The cause of this was the move from Docopt to Clap for argument parsing.
    • The -e/--regexp flag can no longer accept a pattern starting with a -. There are two work-arounds: rg -- -foo and rg [-]foo or rg -e [-]foo will all search for the same -foo pattern. The cause of this was the move from Docopt to Clap for argument parsing. This may get fixed in the future..

    🐎 Performance improvements:

    • PERF #33: ripgrep now performs similar to GNU grep on small corpora.
    • PERF #136: ripgrep no longer slows down because of argument parsing when given a large argument list.

    🔋 Feature enhancements:

    • ➕ Added or improved file type filtering for Elixir.
    • FEATURE #7: Add a -f/--file flag that causes ripgrep to read patterns from a file.
    • FEATURE #51: Add a --colors flag that enables one to customize the colors used in ripgrep's output.
    • FEATURE #138: Add a --files-without-match flag that shows only file paths that contain zero matches.
    • FEATURE #230: Add completion files to the release (Bash, Fish and PowerShell).

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #37: Use correct ANSI escape sequences when TERM=screen.linux.
    • BUG #94: ripgrep now detects stdin on Windows automatically.
    • BUG #117: Colors should now work correctly and automatically inside mintty.
    • BUG #182: Colors should now work within Emacs. In particular, --color=always will emit colors regardless of the current environment.
    • BUG #189: Show less content when running rg -h. The full help content can be accessed with rg --help.
    • BUG #210: Support non-UTF-8 file names on Unix platforms.
    • BUG #231: Switch from block buffering to line buffering.
    • BUG #241: Some error messages weren't suppressed when --no-messages was used.

  • v0.2.9 Changes

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #226: File paths explicitly given on the command line weren't searched in parallel. (This was a regression in 0.2.7.)
    • BUG #228: If a directory was given to --ignore-file, ripgrep's memory usage would grow without bound.

  • v0.2.8 Changes

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug with the SIMD/AVX features for using bytecount in commit 4ca15a.

  • v0.2.7 Changes

    May 29, 2020

    🐎 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 -.

  • v0.2.6 Changes

    May 09, 2020

    🔋 Feature enhancements:

    • ➕ Added or improved file type filtering for Fish.

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #206: Fixed a regression with -g/--glob flag in 0.2.5.

  • v0.2.5 Changes

    March 16, 2020

    🔋 Feature enhancements:

    • ➕ Added or improved file type filtering for Groovy, Handlebars, Tcl, zsh and Python.
    • FEATURE #9: Support global gitignore config and .git/info/exclude files.
    • FEATURE #45: Add --ignore-file flag for specifying additional ignore files.
    • FEATURE #202: Introduce a new ignore crate that encapsulates all of ripgrep's gitignore matching logic.

    🐛 Bug fixes:

    • BUG #44: ripgrep runs slowly when given lots of positional arguments that are directories.
    • BUG #119: ripgrep didn't reset terminal colors if it was interrupted by ^C. Fixed in PR #187.
    • BUG #184: Fixed a bug related to interpreting gitignore files in parent directories.
