0.10.0 (TBD)

This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that contains some major new features, a huge number of bug fixes, and is the first release based on libripgrep. The entirety of ripgrep's core search and printing code has been rewritten and generalized so that anyone can make use of it.

Major new features include PCRE2 support, multi-line search and a JSON output format.

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • The minimum version required to compile Rust has now changed to track the latest stable version of Rust. Patch releases will continue to compile with the same version of Rust as the previous patch release, but new minor versions will use the current stable version of the Rust compile as its minimum supported version.
  • The match semantics of -w/--word-regexp have changed slightly. They used to be \b(?:<your pattern>)\b, but now it's (?:^|\W)(?:<your pattern>)(?:$|\W). This matches the behavior of GNU grep and is believed to be closer to the intended semantics of the flag. See #389 for more details.

Feature enhancements:

  • FEATURE #162: libripgrep is now a thing. The primary crate is grep.
  • FEATURE #176: Add -U/--multiline flag that permits matching over multiple lines.
  • FEATURE #188: Add -P/--pcre2 flag that gives support for look-around and backreferences.
  • FEATURE #244: Add --json flag that prints results in a JSON Lines format.
  • FEATURE #321: Add --one-file-system flag to skip directories on different file systems.
  • FEATURE #404: Add --sort and --sortr flag for more sorting. Deprecate --sort-files.
  • FEATURE #416: Add --crlf flag to permit $ to work with carriage returns on Windows.
  • FEATURE #917: The --trim flag strips prefix whitespace from all lines printed.
  • FEATURE #993: Add --null-data flag, which makes ripgrep use NUL as a line terminator.
  • FEATURE #997: The --passthru flag now works with the --replace flag.
  • FEATURE #1038-1: Add --line-buffered and --block-buffered for forcing a buffer strategy.
  • FEATURE #1038-2: Add --pre-glob for filtering files through the --pre flag.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #2: Searching with non-zero context can now use memory maps if appropriate.
  • BUG #200: ripgrep will now stop correctly when its output pipe is closed.
  • BUG #389: The -w/--word-regexp flag now works more intuitively.
  • BUG #643: Detection of readable stdin has improved on Windows.
  • BUG #441, BUG #690, BUG #980: Matching empty lines now works correctly in several corner cases.
  • BUG #764: Color escape sequences now coalesce, which reduces output size.
  • BUG #842: Add man page to binary Debian package.
  • BUG #922: ripgrep is now more robust with respect to memory maps failing.
  • BUG #937: Color escape sequences are no longer emitted for empty matches.
  • BUG #940: Context from the --passthru flag should not impact process exit status.
  • BUG #984: Fixes bug in ignore crate where first path was always treated as a symlink.
  • BUG #990: Read stderr asynchronously when running a process.
  • BUG #1013: Add compile time and runtime CPU features to --version output.
  • BUG #1028: Don't complete bare pattern after -f in zsh.

0.9.0 (2018-08-03)

This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that contains some minor new features and a panoply of bug fixes.

Releases provided on Github for x86_64 will now work on all target CPUs, and will also automatically take advantage of features found on modern CPUs (such as AVX2) for additional optimizations.

This release increases the minimum supported Rust version from 1.20.0 to 1.23.0.

It is anticipated that the next release of ripgrep (0.10.0) will provide multi-line search support and a JSON output format.

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • When --count and --only-matching are provided simultaneously, the behavior of ripgrep is as if the --count-matches flag was given. That is, the total number of matches is reported, where there may be multiple matches per line. Previously, the behavior of ripgrep was to report the total number of matching lines. (Note that this behavior diverges from the behavior of GNU grep.)
  • Octal syntax is no longer supported. ripgrep previously accepted expressions like \1 as syntax for matching U+0001, but ripgrep will now report an error instead.
  • The --line-number-width flag has been removed. Its functionality was not carefully considered with all ripgrep output formats. See #795 for more details.

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for Android, Bazel, Fuchsia, Haskell, Java and Puppet.
  • FEATURE #411: Add a --stats flag, which emits aggregate statistics after search results.
  • FEATURE #646: Add a --no-ignore-messages flag, which suppresses parse errors from reading .ignore and .gitignore files.
  • FEATURE #702: Support \u{..} Unicode escape sequences.
  • FEATURE #812: Add -b/--byte-offset flag that shows the byte offset of each matching line.
  • FEATURE #814: Add --count-matches flag, which is like --count, but for each match.
  • FEATURE #880: Add a --no-column flag, which disables column numbers in the output.
  • FEATURE #898: Add support for lz4 when using the -z/--search-zip flag.
  • FEATURE #924: termcolor has moved to its own repository: https://github.com/BurntSushi/termcolor
  • FEATURE #934: Add a new flag, --no-ignore-global, that permits disabling global gitignores.
  • FEATURE #967: Rename --maxdepth to --max-depth for consistency. Keep --maxdepth for backwards compatibility.
  • FEATURE #978: Add a --pre option to filter inputs with an arbitrary program.
  • FEATURE fca9709d: Improve zsh completion.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #135: Release portable binaries that conditionally use SSSE3, AVX2, etc., at runtime.
  • BUG #268: Print descriptive error message when trying to use look-around or backreferences.
  • BUG #395: Show comprehensible error messages for regexes like \s*{.
  • BUG #526: Support backslash escapes in globs.
  • BUG #795: Fix problems with --line-number-width by removing it.
  • BUG #832: Clarify usage instructions for -f/--file flag.
  • BUG #835: Fix small performance regression while crawling very large directory trees.
  • BUG #851: Fix -S/--smart-case detection once and for all.
  • BUG #852: Be robust with respect to ENOMEM errors returned by mmap.
  • BUG #853: Upgrade grep crate to regex-syntax 0.6.0.
  • BUG #893: Improve support for git submodules.
  • BUG #900: When no patterns are given, ripgrep should never match anything.
  • BUG #907: ripgrep will now stop traversing after the first file when --quiet --files is used.
  • BUG #918: Don't skip tar archives when -z/--search-zip is used.
  • BUG #934: Don't respect gitignore files when searching outside git repositories.
  • BUG #948: Use exit code 2 to indicate error, and use exit code 1 to indicate no matches.
  • BUG #951: Add stdin example to ripgrep usage documentation.
  • BUG #955: Use buffered writing when not printing to a tty, which fixes a performance regression.
  • BUG #957: Improve the error message shown for --path separator / in some Windows shells.
  • BUG #964: Add a --no-fixed-strings flag to disable -F/--fixed-strings.
  • BUG #988: Fix a bug in the ignore crate that prevented the use of explicit ignore files after disabling all other ignore rules.
  • BUG #995: Respect $XDG_CONFIG_DIR/git/config for detecting core.excludesFile.

0.8.1 (2018-02-20)

This is a patch release of ripgrep that primarily fixes regressions introduced in 0.8.0 (#820 and #824) in directory traversal on Windows. These regressions do not impact non-Windows users.

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for csv and VHDL.
  • FEATURE #798: Add underline support to termcolor and ripgrep. See documentation on the --colors flag for details.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #684: Improve documentation for the --ignore-file flag.

  • BUG #791: Add man page to ARM release.
  • BUG #797: Improve documentation for "intense" setting in termcolor.
  • BUG #800: Fix a bug in the ignore crate for custom ignore files. This had no impact on ripgrep.
  • BUG #807: Fix a bug where rg --hidden . behaved differently from rg --hidden ./.
  • BUG #815: Clarify a common failure mode in user guide.
  • BUG #820: Fixes a bug on Windows where symlinks were followed even if not requested.
  • BUG #824: Fix a performance regression in directory traversal on Windows.

0.8.0 (2018-02-11)

This is a new minor version releae of ripgrep that satisfies several popular feature requests (config files, search compressed files, true colors), fixes many bugs and improves the quality of life for ripgrep maintainers. This release also includes greatly improved documentation in the form of a User Guide and a FAQ.

This release increases the minimum supported Rust version from 1.17 to 1.20.

BREAKING CHANGES:

Note that these are all very minor and unlikely to impact most users.

  • In order to support configuration files, flag overrides needed to be rethought. In some cases, this changed ripgrep's behavior. For example, in ripgrep 0.7.1, rg foo -s -i will perform a case sensitive search since the -s/--case-sensitive flag was defined to always take precedence over the -i/--ignore-case flag, regardless of position. In ripgrep 0.8.0 however, the override rule for all flags has changed to "the most recent flag wins among competing flags." That is, rg foo -s -i now performs a case insensitive search.
  • The -M/--max-columns flag was tweaked so that specifying a value of 0 now makes ripgrep behave as if the flag was absent. This makes it possible to set a default value in a configuration file and then override it. The previous ripgrep behavior was to suppress all matching non-empty lines.
  • In all globs, [^...] is now equivalent to [!...] (indicating class negation). Previously, ^ had no special significance in a character class.
  • For downstream packagers, the directory hierarchy in ripgrep's archive releases has changed. The root directory now only contains the executable, README and license. There is now a new directory called doc which contains the man page (previously in the root), a user guide (new), a FAQ (new) and the CHANGELOG (previously not included in release). The complete directory remains the same.

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for Apache Avro, C++, GN, Google Closure Templates, Jupyter notebooks, man pages, Protocol Buffers, Smarty and Web IDL.
  • FEATURE #196: Support a configuration file. See the new user guide for details.
  • FEATURE #261: Add extended or "true" color support. Works in Windows 10! See the FAQ for details.
  • FEATURE #539: Search gzip, bzip2, lzma or xz files when given -z/--search-zip flag.
  • FEATURE #544: Add support for line number alignment via a new --line-number-width flag.
  • FEATURE #654: Support linuxbrew in ripgrep's Brew tap.
  • FEATURE #673: Bring back .rgignore files. (A higher precedent, application specific version of .ignore.)
  • FEATURE #676: Provide ARM binaries. WARNING: This will be provided on a best effort basis.
  • FEATURE #709: Suggest -F/--fixed-strings flag on a regex syntax error.
  • FEATURE #740: Add a --passthru flag that causes ripgrep to print every line it reads.
  • FEATURE #785: Overhaul documentation. Cleaned up README, added user guide and FAQ.
  • FEATURE 7f5c07: Add hidden flags for convenient overrides (e.g., --no-text).

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #553: Permit flags to be repeated.
  • BUG #633: Fix a bug where ripgrep would panic on Windows while following symlinks.
  • BUG #649: Fix handling of !**/ in .gitignore.
  • BUG #663: BREAKING CHANGE: Support [^...] glob syntax (as identical to [!...]).
  • BUG #693: Don't display context separators when not printing matches.
  • BUG #705: Fix a bug that prevented ripgrep from searching OneDrive directories.
  • BUG #717: Improve --smart-case uppercase character detection.
  • BUG #725: Clarify that globs do not override explicitly given paths to search.
  • BUG #742: Write ANSI reset code as \x1B[0m instead of \x1B[m.
  • BUG #747: Remove yarn.lock from YAML file type.
  • BUG #760: ripgrep can now search /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/* files.
  • BUG #761: Fix handling of gitignore patterns that contain a /.
  • BUG #776: BREAKING CHANGE: --max-columns=0 now disables the limit.
  • BUG #779: Clarify documentation for --files-without-match.
  • BUG #780, BUG #781: Fix bug where ripgrep missed some matching lines.

Maintenance fixes:

  • MAINT #772: Drop env_logger in favor of simpler logger to avoid many new dependencies.
  • MAINT #772: Add git revision hash to ripgrep's version string.
  • MAINT #772: (Seemingly) improve compile times.
  • MAINT #776: Automatically generate man page during build.
  • MAINT #786: Remove use of unsafe in globset. 🎉
  • MAINT e9d448: Add an issue template (has already drastically improved bug reports).
  • MAINT ae2d03: Remove the compile script.

Friends of ripgrep:

I'd like to extend my gratitude to @balajisivaraman for their recent hard work in a number of areas, and in particular, for implementing the "search compressed files" feature. Their work in sketching out a specification for that and other work has been exemplary.

Thanks @balajisivaraman!

I'd like to give a big Thank You to @okdana for their recent hard work on ripgrep. This includes new features like --line-regexp, heroic effort on zsh auto-completion and thinking through some thorny argv issues with me.

I'd also like to thank @ericbn for their work on improving ripgrep's argv parsing by allowing some flags to override others.

Thanks @okdana and @ericbn!

Bug fixes:

0.5.0 (2017-03-12)

This is a new minor version release of ripgrep that includes one minor breaking change, bug fixes and several new features including support for text encodings other than UTF-8.

A notable accomplishment with respect to Rust is that ripgrep proper now only contains a single unsafe use (for accessing the contents of a memory map).

The breaking change is:

  • FEATURE #380: Line numbers are now hidden by default when ripgrep is printing to a tty and the only thing searched is stdin.

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for Ceylon, CSS, Elixir, HTML, log, SASS, SVG, Twig
  • FEATURE #1: Add support for additional text encodings, including automatic detection for UTF-16 via BOM sniffing. Explicit text encoding support with the -E/--encoding flag was also added for latin-1, GBK, EUC-JP and Shift_JIS, among others. The full list can be found here: https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-encoding-get
  • FEATURE #129: Add a new -M/--max-columns flag that omits lines longer than the given number of bytes. (Disabled by default!)
  • FEATURE #369: A new flag, --max-filesize, was added for limiting searches to files with a maximum file size.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #52, BUG #311: Tweak how binary files are detected and handled. (We are slightly less conservative and will no longer use memory without bound.)
  • BUG #326: When --files flag is given, we should never attempt to parse positional arguments as regexes.
  • BUG #327: Permit the --heading flag to override the --no-heading flag.
  • BUG #340: Clarify that the -u/--unrestricted flags are aliases.
  • BUG #343: Global git ignore config should use $HOME/.config/git/ignore and not $HOME/git/ignore.
  • BUG #345: Clarify docs for -g/--glob flag.
  • BUG #381: Add license files to each sub-crate.
  • BUG #383: Use latest version of clap (for argv parsing).
  • BUG #392: Fix translation of set globs (e.g., {foo,bar,quux}) to regexes.
  • BUG #401: Add PowerShell completion file to Windows release.
  • BUG #405: Fix bug when excluding absolute paths with the -g/--glob flag.

0.4.0

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.)

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for Crystal, Kotlin, Perl, PowerShell, Ruby, Swig
  • FEATURE #83: Type definitions can now include other type definitions.
  • FEATURE #243: BREAKING CHANGE: The --column flag now implies --line-number.
  • FEATURE #263: Add a new --sort-files flag.
  • FEATURE #275: Add a new --path-separator flag. Useful in cygwin.

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #182: Redux: use more portable ANSI color escape sequences when possible.
  • BUG #258: Fix bug that caused ripgrep's parallel iterator to spin and burn CPU.
  • BUG #262: Document how to install shell completion files.
  • BUG #266, BUG #293: Fix handling of bold styling and change the default colors.
  • BUG #268: Make lack of backreference support more explicit.
  • BUG #271: Remove ~ dependency on clap.
  • BUG #277: Fix cosmetic issue in globset crate docs.
  • BUG #279: ripgrep did not terminate when -q/--quiet was given.
  • BUG #281: BREAKING CHANGE: Completely remove ^C handling from ripgrep.
  • BUG #284: Make docs for -g/--glob clearer.
  • BUG #286: When stdout is redirected to a file, don't search that file.
  • BUG #287: Fix ZSH completions.
  • BUG #295: Remove superfluous memmap dependency in grep crate.
  • BUG #308: Improve docs for -r/--replace.
  • BUG #313: Update bytecount dep to latest version.
  • BUG #318: Fix invalid UTF-8 output bug in Windows consoles.

0.3.2

Feature enhancements:

  • Added or improved file type filtering for Less, Sass, stylus, Zsh

Bug fixes:

  • BUG #229: Make smart case slightly less conservative.
  • BUG #247: Clarify use of --heading/--no-heading.
  • BUG #251, BUG #264, BUG #267: Fix matching bug caused by literal optimizations.
  • BUG #256: Fix bug that caused rg foo and rg foo/ to have different behavior when foo was a symlink.
  • BUG #270: Fix bug where patterns starting with a - couldn't be used with the -e/--regexp flag. (This resolves a regression that was introduced in ripgrep 0.3.0.)

0.3.1

Bug fixes:

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

0.3.0

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.

0.2.9

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.

0.2.8

Bug fixes:

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

0.2.7

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 -.

0.2.6

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.

0.2.5

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.

0.2.4

SKIPPED.

0.2.3
