Feature enhancements:

• Added or improved file type filtering for VB, R, F#, Swift, Nim, Javascript, TypeScript

Many many bug fixes. Thanks every for reporting these and helping make ripgrep better! (Note that I haven't captured every tracking issue here, some were closed as duplicates.)

• BUG #8: Don't use an intermediate buffer when --threads=1. (Permits constant memory usage.)
• BUG #15: Improves the documentation for --type-add.
• BUG #16, BUG #49, BUG #50, BUG #65: Some gitignore globs were being treated as anchored when they weren't.
• BUG #18: --vimgrep reported incorrect column number.
• BUG #19: ripgrep was hanging waiting on stdin in some Windows terminals. Note that this introduced a new bug: #94.
• BUG #21: Removes leading ./ when printing file paths.
• BUG #22: Running rg --help | echo caused rg to panic.
• BUG #24: Clarify the central purpose of rg in its usage message.
• BUG #25: Anchored gitignore globs weren't applied in subdirectories correctly.
• BUG #30: Globs like foo/** should match contents of foo, but not foo itself.
• BUG #35, BUG #81: When automatically detecting stdin, only read if it's a file or a fifo. i.e., ignore stdin in rg foo < /dev/null.
• BUG #36: Don't automatically pick memory maps on MacOS. Ever.
• BUG #38: Trailing whitespace in gitignore wasn't being ignored.
• BUG #43: --glob didn't work with directories.
• BUG #46: Use one fewer worker thread than what is provided on CLI.
• BUG #47: --help/--version now work even if other options are set.
• BUG #55: ripgrep was refusing to search /proc/cpuinfo. Fixed by disabling memory maps for files with zero size.
• BUG #64: The first path given with --files set was ignored.
• BUG #67: Sometimes whitelist globs like !/dir weren't interpreted as anchored.
• BUG #77: When -q/--quiet flag was passed, ripgrep kept searching even after a match was found.

• BUG #93: ripgrep was extracting an erroneous inner literal from a repeated pattern.
