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.
