fd (CLI)

Performance improvements

• Reduce number of stat syscalls, improving the performance for searches where file metadata is required (--type, --size, --changed-within, …), see #434 (@tavianator)
• Use jemalloc by default, improving the performance for almost all searches, see #481. Note that Windows and *musl* builds do not profit from this.

Features

• Added a new -g/--glob option to switch to glob-based searches (instead of regular expression based searches). This is accompanied by a new --regex option that can be used to switch back, if users want to alias fd="fd --glob". See #284
• Added a new --path-separator <sep> option which can be useful for Windows users who want/need fd to use / instead of \, see #428 and #153 (@mookid)
• Added support for hidden files on Windows, see #379
• When fd is run with the --exec-batch/-X option, it now exposes the exit status of the command that was run, see #333.
• Exit immediately when Ctrl-C has been pressed twice, see #423

Bugfixes

• Make --changed-within/--changed-before work for directories, see #470
