Features

  • Added support for filtering by file modification time by adding two new options --changed-before <date|duration> and --changed-within <..>. For more details, see the --help text, the man page, the relevant issue #165 and the PR #339 (@kimsnj)
  • Added --show-errors option to enable the display of filesystem error messages such as "permission denied", see #311 (@psinghal20 and @majecty)
  • Added --maxdepth as a (hidden) alias for --max-depth, see #323 (@mqudsi)
  • Added --search-path option which can be supplied to replace the positional path argument at any position.

Changes

  • Loosen strict handling of missing --ignore-file, see #280 (@psinghal20)
  • Re-enabled .ignore files, see #156.

Bugfixes

  • fd could previously get stuck when run from the root directory in the presence of zombie processes. This curious bug has been fixed in Rust 1.29 and higher. For more details, see #288, rust-lang/rust#50619 and the fix

Other

  • fd has officially landed in Debian! See #345 for details. Thanks goes to @sylvestre, @paride and possibly others I don't know about.
  • Added Chinese translation of README (@chinanf-boy)

Thanks

A special thanks goes to @joshleeb for his amazing improvements throughout the code base (new tests, refactoring work and various other things)!
