- Update to version 9.0.0:
Performance:
* Performance has been significantly improved, both due to optimizations
in the underlying ignore crate (#1429), and in fd itself (#1422, #1408, #13620).
Benchmarks results show gains of 6-8x for full traversals of smaller directories
(100k files) and up to 13x for larger directories (1M files).
* The default number of threads is now constrained to be at most 64. This should
improve startup time on systems with many CPU cores. (#1203, #1410, #1412, #1431)
* New flushing behavior when writing output to stdout, providing better performance
for TTY and non-TTY use cases, see #1452 and #1313.
Features:
* Support character and block device file types, see #1213 and #1336
* Breaking: .git/ is now ignored by default when using --hidden / -H, use --no-ignore
/ -I or --no-ignore-vcs to override, see #1387 and #1396
Bugfixes:
* Fix NO_COLOR support, see #1421
Other:
* Fixed documentation typos, see #1409
