About fd

A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

What's new in 10.5.0

Features
- Add --ignore-parent option to override --no-ignore-parent, see #1958 (@tmchow)
- Add --exact option to match the entire filename exactly (literal, non-substring).
Bugfixes
- Sanitize control characters and bidirectional override characters in filenames
when output goes to a terminal, to prevent terminal escape-sequence injection.
Also reject a placeholder as the executable for --exec-batch, while still
allowing it for --exec.
- Handle invalid working directories gracefully when using --full-path, see #1900 (@Xavrir).
- Fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for any pattern containing /, not just patterns that happen to name an existing directory. Preserves the legacy Windows behaviour that also flags native \ separators when the pattern resolves to a real directory. See #1873.
- Also fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for --and patterns, not only the primary positional pattern. --and patterns are matched against the file name just like the primary pattern, so a path separator in them silently returned zero results. See #1873.
- Fix bug where passing "-" as a directory argument didn't actually search that directory, see #849 (@Sean-Kenneth-Doherty).
- Fix panic when --changed-before/--changed-within is given an out-of-range @ Unix timestamp; the value is now rejected gracefully, see #2081 (@nikolauspschuetz).
