fd (CLI)

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 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/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)
