We look for similar flag names via Jaccard index on ngrams. In my
experience this tends to work better than Levenshtein or other edit
distance based metrics. Principally because it allows for out-of-order
suggestions. For example, --case-smart will result in a suggestion for
--smart-case, even though the edit distance between them is pretty big.
This is something Clap did for us. I initially thought it wasn't
necessary to add this back in, but I realized it wouldn't be much work
and might actually be helpful to folks.
Previously, we were running 'cargo deb' locally. But the release process
is a little simpler now thanks to GitHub Actions and the 'gh' tool, so I
felt comfortable putting the 'deb' generation in CI.
Now the only real manual part of release asset creation is the M2
release, but that should hopefully be automated once GitHub makes Apple
silicon runners available for free.
Basically, unless the -a/--text flag is given, it is generally always an
error to search for an explicit NUL byte because the binary detection
will prevent it from matching.
Fixes#1838
The --vimgrep flag has some severe footguns when using a pattern that
matches very frequently. We had already written some docs to warn about
that, but now we also include a suggestion to avoid exorbitant heap
usage.
Closes#2505
This adds info about whether PCRE2 is available or not to the output of
--version. Essentially, --version now subsumes --pcre2-version, although
we do retain the former because it (usefully) emits an exit code based
on whether PCRE2 is available or not.
Closes#2645
Previously, we were applying the -M/--max-columns flag *before* triming
prefix ASCII whitespace. But this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. We
should be trimming first, but the result of trimming is ultimately what
we'll be printing and that's what -M/--max-columns should be applied to.
Fixes#2458
