v8.5.1

Bugfixes

• Fix --threads/-j option value parsing, see #1160 and #1162 (@sharkdp)

v8.5.0

Features

• --type executable/-t now works on Windows, see #1051 and #1061 (@tavianator)

Bugfixes

• Fixed differences between piped / non-piped output. This changes fds behavior back to what we
  had before 8.3.0, i.e. there will be no leading ./ prefixes, unless --exec/-x,
  --exec-batch/-X, or --print0/-0 are used. --strip-cwd-prefix can be used to strip that
  prefix in those cases. See #1046, #1115, and #1121 (@tavianator)
• fd could previously crash with a panic due to a race condition in Rusts standard library
  (see rust-lang/rust#39364). This has been fixed by switching to a different
  message passing implementation, see #1060 and #1146 (@tavianator)
• fds memory usage will not grow unboundedly on huge directory trees, see #1146 (@tavianator)
• fd returns an error when current working directory does not exist while a search path is
  specified, see #1072 (@vijfhoek)
• Improved "command not found" error message, see #1083 and #1109 (@themkat)
• Preserve command exit codes when using --exec-batch, see #1136 and #1137 (@amesgen)

Changes

• No leading ./ prefix for non-interactive results, see above.
• fd now colorizes paths in parallel, significantly improving performance, see #1148 (@tavianator)
• fd can now avoid stat syscalls even when colorizing paths, as long as the color scheme doesn't
  require metadata, see #1148 (@tavianator)
• The statically linked musl versions of fd now use jmalloc, leading to a significant performance
  improvement, see #1062 (@tavianator)

Other

• Added link back to GitHub in man page and --help text, see #1086 (@scottchiefbaker)
• Major update in how fd handles command line options internally, see #1067 (@tmccombs)

v8.4.0

Features

• Support multiple --exec <cmd> instances, see #406 and #960 (@tmccombs)

Bugfixes

• "Argument list too long" errors can not appear anymore when using --exec-batch/-X, as the command invocations are automatically batched at the maximum possible size, even if --batch-size is not given. See #410 and #1020 (@tavianator)

Changes

• Directories are now printed with an additional path separator at the end: foo/bar/, see #436 and #812 (@yyogo)
• The -u flag was changed to be equivalent to -HI (previously, a single -u was only equivalent to -I). Additional -u flags are still allowed, but ignored. See #840 and #986 (@jacksontheel)

Other

• Added installation instructions for RHEL8, see #989 (@ethsol)

v8.3.2

Bufixes

• Invalid absolute path on windows when searching from the drive root, see #931 and #936 (@gbarta)

v8.3.1

Bugfixes

• Stop implying --no-ignore-parent when --no-vcs-ignore is supplied, see #907, #901, #908 (@tmccombs)
• fd no longer waits for the whole traversal if the only matches arrive within max_buffer_time, see #868 and #895 (@tavianator)
• --max-results=1 now immediately quits after the first result, see #867 (@tavianator)
• fd -h does not panic anymore when stdout is closed, see #897

Changes

• Disable jemalloc on FreeBSD, see #896 (@xanderio)
• Updated man page, see #912 (@rlue)
• Updated zsh completions, see #932 (@tmccombs)

v8.3.0

Performance improvements

• Colorized output is now significantly faster, see #720 and #853 (@tavianator)
• Writing to stdout is now buffered if the output does not go to a TTY. This increases performance
  when the output of fd is piped to another program or to a file, see #885 (@tmccombs, original
  implementation by @sourlemon207)
• File metadata is now cached between the different filters that require it (e.g. --owner,
  --size), reducing the number of stat syscalls when multiple filters are used; see #863
  (@tavianator, original implementation by @alexmaco)

Features

• Don't buffer command output from --exec when using a single thread. See #522
• Add new -q, --quiet flag, see #303 (@Asha20)
• Add new --no-ignore-parent flag, see #787 (@will459)
• Add new --batch-size flag, see #410 (@devonhollowood)
• Add opposing command-line options, see #595 (@Asha20)
• Add support for more filesystem indicators in LS_COLORS, see
  sharkdp/lscolors#35 (@tavianator)

Bugfixes

• Always show the ./ prefix for search results unless the output is a TTY or --strip-cwd-prefix is set, see #760 and #861 (@jcaplan)
• Set default path separator to / in MSYS, see #537 and #730 (@aswild)
• fd cannot search files under a RAM disk, see #752
• fd doesn't show substituted drive on Windows, see #365
• Properly handle write errors to devices that are full, see #737
• Use local time zone for time functions (--change-newer-than, --change-older-than), see #631 (@jacobmischka)
• Support --list-details on more platforms (like BusyBox), see #783
• The filters --owner, --size, and --changed-{within,before} now apply to symbolic links
  themselves, rather than the link target, except when --follow is specified; see #863
• Change time comparisons to be exclusive, see #794 (@jacobmischka)

Changes

• Apply custom --path-separator to commands run with --exec(-batch) and --list-details, see #697 (@aswild)

Other

• Many documentation updates

v8.2.1

No functional changes with respect to v8.2.0. Bugfix in the release process.

v8.2.0

Features

• Add new --prune flag, see #535 (@reima)
• Improved the usability of the time-based options, see #624 and #645 (@gorogoroumaru)
• Add support for exact file sizes in the --size filter, see #669 and #696 (@Rogach)
• fd now prints an error message if the search pattern requires a leading dot but
  --hidden is not enabled (Unix only), see #615

Bugfixes

• Avoid panic when performing limited searches in directories with restricted permissions, see #678
• Invalid numeric command-line arguments are silently ignored, see #675
• Disable jemalloc on Android, see #662
• The --help text will be colorless if NO_COLOR has been set, see #600 (@xanonid)

Changes

• If LS_COLORS is not set (e.g. on Windows), we now provide a more comprehensive default which
  includes much more filetypes, see #604 and #682 (mjsir911).

Other

• Added zsh completion files, see #654 and #189 (@smancill)

v8.1.1

Bugfixes

• Support colored output on older Windows versions if either (1) --color=always is set or (2) the TERM environment variable is set. See #469

v8.1.0

Features

• Add new --owner [user][:group] command-line option See #307 (pull #581) (@alexmaco)
  This can be used to filter results by ownership:

  # files matching the 'exercise' pattern, owned by john
  fd exercise --type file --owner john
  
  # files/directories that are not owned by john
  fd --owner '!john'
  
  # … owned by the 'students' group
  fd --owner ':students'
  
  # … owned by the 'students' group, but not by john
  fd --owner '!john:students'

  Note that the new option is currently not available on Windows.
• Add support for a global ignore file (~/.config/fd/ignore on Unix), see #575 (@soedirgo)
• Do not exit immediately if one of the search paths is missing, see #587 (@DJRHails)

Bugfixes

• Reverted a change from fd 8.0 that enabled colors on all Windows terminals (see below) in order to support older Windows versions again, see #577. Unfortunately, this re-opens #469

• Fix --glob behavior with empty pattern, see #579 (@SeamusConnor)
• Fix --list-details on FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. See #573 (@t6)
