v0.2.1

2 years ago

Heuristic algorithm to choose the foreground color of matched regions was improved. Now hgrep generates multiple candidates for the foreground color, and chooses one of them looking at the color distances from the background color.
- Example with Coldark-Dark theme. Please find the 'let' matched regions in the following screenshots. The foreground color is easier to see in v0.2.1 than v0.2.0.
  
  v0.2.0 v0.2.1
Add new Material theme. It is a very popular low-contrast color theme. Try it by hgrep --theme Material.
Add new Carbonight theme. It is a minimal monotone color theme. Some people feel that too colorful outputs are hard to see. This color theme might fit to such people.
Built-in grep allows K/M/G suffix at --max-filesize option to specify a file size easily.
```
# Search files whose size is smaller than 10 MiB
hgrep --maxfilesize 10M ...
```
Built-in grep adds new flag --invert-match for invert matching. It shows lines that do not match the given pattern.
Built-in grep adds new flag --one-file-system. When enabled, the search will not cross file system boundaries relative to where it started from.
Built-in grep adds new short flag-. as alias of long flag --hidden.
Built-in grep adds new flag --no-unicode which disables Unicode-aware search.
Built-in grep improves the output from --type-list. Now types are printed in bold texts which is easier to see.
Syntax assets were updated to the latest. They improve some syntax highlight detection (for example, vimrc for Vim files) and solve some highlighting issues.
Fix a broken pipe error when hgrep command is piped to a pager command like less. This happened when less exits earlier than hgrep command, for example, when you immediately quit a pager by q without scrolling the output to the end. In the case, hgrep still tried to output the result to stdout even if the pipe had already been closed and it caused a broken pipe error. In v0.2.1, hgrep correctly ignores such broken pipe errors.
Fix --no-wrap deprecated flag was not removed at v0.2.0. Use --wrap instead if you used the flag.
Fix checksum of downloaded package via Homebrew on arm64 macOS.
Fix --type-list flag did not print types when a pattern argument is not given.
(Dev) Move asset-builder tool directory to assets/builder.
(Dev) The script to update test snapshots is now 25x faster.
(Dev) CI job to run clippy and rustfmt is now 6x faster.

v0.2.0

2 years ago

BREAKING The default printer is now syntect. It has the following benefits. I tested it for several weeks and it seems stable. See the section in README to know the difference between bat printer and syntect printer.
- Performance is 2x to 4x faster
- Output layout and highlighting are optimized; line number highlight and matched regions at matched line
- Support background color with --background
- Color themes are optimized
BREAKING The default value of --min-context was changed from 5 to 3. And the default value of --max-context was changed from 10 to 6. This is because it turned out that the previous default values were too large for surveying the search results.
BREAKING Since themes for syntect printer are now managed by ourselves (see below), syntect printer no longer looks at BAT_THEME and BAT_STYLE environment variables. To set the default theme and layout, use shell's command alias. See the document for more details.
syntect printer now renders more accurate colors by considering alpha values of colors by blending them with background colors. In v0.1.9, alpha values were simply ignored. For example, gutter color with Nord theme was wrongly very light at v0.1.9.
- Before (v0.1.9):
- After (v0.2.0):
Manage our own theme set to optimize themes for our use cases. Comparing with bat's theme assets, some themes are removed whose line highlight color and/or searched text color are obscure or hard to see. And some new famous themes are added. The theme assets are managed in assets directory.
- ayu: Famous vivid color theme
  
  ayu-dark ayu-mirage ayu-light
- predawn: Famous low-contrast color theme
- cyanide: Famous minimal color theme
Output of --list-themes is much improved. It shows sample outputs per theme so that users can know what they look like. Options related to outputs like --background and --no-grid are reflected to the sample outputs. At v0.1.9, only theme names were printed so users needed to try the themes by themselves.
Linux x86_64 musl target was added to pre-built releases. Find hgrep-*-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.zip in released assets. Note that this binary is not tested. (#5)
Depend on ansi_term crate only when targeting Windows. It reduces number of dependencies when bat-printer is not enabled.
Improve a compile error when both feature syntect-printer and bat-printer are disabled.
Describe the exit status of hgrep command and versioning of this project in the readme document.
Fix rendering ansi theme was broken. The theme is for old terminals which only supports 16 colors.
Fix --first-only did not work with bat printer.
Fix the background color in file header when --background is specified

v0.1.9

2 years ago

Support multiple regions highlighting. In v0.1.8, matched region highlighting was added but it only highlighted the first match in the line. Now all matched regions are highlighted. Note that region highlighting is available when using hgrep in combination of syntect-printer and ripgrep features
- v0.1.8:
- v0.1.9:
Add --ascii-lines flag for terminals which does not support rendering unicode characters well. With this flag, unicode characters like '│' or '─' are replaced with ASCII characters '|' or '-'. This feature is only supported by syntect-printer (use -p syntect).
Add --first-only (-f) flag to show only the first snippet per file. This is useful when you want to look around the results.
Fallback to a minimap border color when no gutter background color is found.
Reduce number of redundant color codes output to stdout by about 21.5% in test cases. This also improves performance by about 6%. See the commit for details.
Performance of built-in grep was improved 20~80% when there are so many files to search. Previously the implementation collected all paths before searching a pattern in them, but with this improvement, the paths are now streamed. See the commit for details.
Use mimalloc as global allocator for better performance. This improves performance by 0~55% in our benchmarks. See the commit for details.
(Dev) Running unit tests is about 8.5x faster by caching assets for syntax highlighting.

v0.1.8

2 years ago

syntect-printer supports text-wrapping. Longer lines than terminal width are now wrapped by default. It can handle wide characters including special emojis with zero-width joiner (U+200D) like 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
syntect-printer highlights matched regions in matched lines with a searched text color. Since match positions in matched lines are not included in output from grep -nH, currently this is only supported by combination of syntect-printer feature and ripgrep feature
syntect-printer now uses light dashed lines for the separator of snippets: ╶╶╶╶╶╶╶╶╶╶╶╶
Add --wrap MODE option where MODE is one of char or never (the default value is char). More modes may be implemented in the future
In favor of --wrap option, --no-wrap flag is now deprecated and will be removed at v0.2.0. Use --wrap never instead
When building binaries for Windows, link C runtime statically. This avoid depending on vcruntime DLL at runtime
Critical section of syntect-printer was optimized. It slightly improved performance (around 4% faster in benchmarks)
Enable thin LTO for release build. It slightly improved performance (0~6% faster in benchmarks). See the commit for details

v0.1.7

2 years ago

Fix highlighting was broken on 256 colors terminals when using bat-printer.
bat-printer enables text wrapping by default as bat command does. --no-wrap can disable text wrapping.
bat-printer now looks at bat's cache directory when --custom-assets flag is given. This is useful if you use some custom syntax highlighting or theme. Note that this may not work fine with some versions of bat command.
bat-printer automatically uses 'ansi' theme for terminals which enable only 16 colors since other themes don't work.
Add --terminal-width option to give the width of terminal explicitly. This is useful when piping the results to other command like less.
Fix build failure due to lack of assets (#4).
Fix some newlines were missing when printing results with syntect-printer.
Use terminal_size crate directly instead of using console crate. It removes 3 dependencies when bat-printer feature is not enabled.
The document has been improved. Especially if you like a pager such as less, I recommend to check 'Set default command options' section.
(Dev) Several tests and benchmarks for syntect-printer were added.
