If a preprocessor command could not be started, we now show some
additional context with the error message. Previously, it showed
something like this:
some/file: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Which is itself pretty misleading. Now it shows:
some/file: preprocessor command could not start: '"nonexist" "some/file"': No such file or directory (os error 2)

This is necessary because jemalloc + musl + Ubuntu 16.04 is apparently
broken.
Moreover, jemalloc doesn't support i686, so we accept the performance
regression there.

This brings in a bug fix that no longer tries to run `git` to update the
submodule if the `git` command doesn't exist.
This is useful is more restricted build contexts where `git` isn't
installed. Such as in the docker image used for running `cross`.
It turns out that musl's allocator is slow enough to cause a fairly
noticeable performance regression when ripgrep is built as a static
binary with musl. We fix this by using jemalloc when building with musl.
We continue to use the default system allocator in all other scenarios.
Namely, glibc's allocator doesn't noticeably regress performance compared
to jemalloc. But we could add more targets to this logic if other
system allocators (macOS, Windows) prove to be slow.
This wasn't necessary before because rustc recently stopped using jemalloc
by default.
Fixes#1268
In an effort to strip line terminators, we assumed their existence. But
a pattern file may not end with a line terminator, so we shouldn't
unconditionally strip them.
We fix this by moving to bstr's line handling, which does this for us
automatically.
This is for consistency with the short and long flags given in other
bullet points. I originally assumed there was no long flag for `-P`
because none was given here.
PR #1254
This feature solves a major reason I was skeptical of using ripgrep, so
I think it’s good to mention it in the section about why one should use
it.
I use backreferences a lot, so I had previously thought that ripgrep
would provide no speed advantage over ag, since I would always have
`-P` enabled. But when I saw `--auto-hybrid-regex` in the 11.0.0
changelog, I learned that ripgrep can use it to speed up simple queries
while still allowing me to write backreferences.
PR #1253
This flag, when set, will automatically dispatch to PCRE2 if the given
regex cannot be compiled by Rust's regex engine. If both engines fail to
compile the regex, then both errors are surfaced.
Closes#1155
The default stack size is 32KB, and this increases it to 10MB. 32KB is
pretty paltry in the environments in which ripgrep runs, and 10MB is
easily afforded as a maximum size. (The size limit we set for Rust's
regex engine is considerably larger.)
This was motivated due to the fack that JIT stack limits have been
observed to be hit in the wild:

This flag is commonly used in pipelines and it can be annoying to write
it out every time you need it.
Ideally, we would use -h for this to match GNU grep, but -h is used to
print help output.
Closes#1185
This sets up the release announcement and briefly describes the
versioning change. The actual version change itself won't happen until
the release.
Closes#1172
