ripgrep 15 is a new major version release of ripgrep that mostly has bug fixes,
some minor performance improvements and minor new features.
In case you haven't heard of it before, ripgrep is a line-oriented search
tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern.
By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip
hidden files/directories and binary files.
Here are some highlights:
- Several bugs around gitignore matching have been fixed. This includes
a commonly reported bug related to applying gitignore rules from parent
directories. - A memory usage regression when handling very large gitignore files has been
fixed. - rg -vf file, where file is empty, now matches everything.
- The -r/--replace flag now works with --json.
- A subset of Jujutsu (jj) repositories are now treated as if they were git
repositories. That is, ripgrep will respect jj's gitignores. - Globs can now use nested curly braces.
Platform support:
- aarch64 for Windows now has release artifacts.
- powerpc64 no longer has release artifacts generated for it. The CI
release workflow stopped working, and I didn't deem it worth my time to
debug it. If someone wants this and can test it, I'd be happy to add it
back. - ripgrep binaries are now compiled with full LTO enabled. You may notice
small performance improvements from this and a modest decrease in binary
size.
Performance improvements:
- PERF #2111:
Don't resolve helper binaries on Windows when -z/--search-zip isn't used. - PERF #2865:
Avoid using path canonicalization on Windows when emitting hyperlinks. - PERF #3184:
Improve performance of large values with -A/--after-context.
