v0.6.0

This release introduces major new features that significantly enhance the file search capabilities of rq, making it more powerful and user-friendly.

New Features

Regex Pattern Matching

• Regex support with `--regex` flag using the proven tiny-regex-c library
• Filename pattern matching with full regex syntax support
• Case-sensitive and case-insensitive regex options

File Type Filtering

• File type filtering with `--type` flag
• Supported types: `text`, `image`, `video`, `audio`, `archive`, `binary`
• Smart extension-based detection with comprehensive file type arrays

File Preview Mode

• Preview mode with `--preview` flag shows file contents inline
• Text files: Display first 10 lines (configurable with `--preview N`)

Streamed Output

• Real-time result streaming - see results as they're found, not after completion
• Progress indicators - shows "Processed: X files, Found: Y results..." after 5 seconds if no results

Bug Fixes

• Fixed error handling to show specific errors instead of full help
• Improved command-line argument validation
• Enhanced file access error reporting

v0.5.0

New Features

File System Support

• Hidden file support with --include-hidden (-H) flag - now finds .env, .gitignore, and other hidden files
• Symlink following with --follow-symlinks (-L) flag - traverse symbolic links safely

Advanced Size Filtering

• Size operators: --size +1M (larger than), --size -500K (smaller than), --size 1024 (exact size)
• Supports K, M, G, T suffixes for human-readable sizes

Output

• JSON output with --json flag - structured data for scripts and tools
• Cross-platform path normalization (forward slashes)
• Clean, parseable format

Enhanced Interface

• Comprehensive short flags: -H, -L, -d, -j, -c, -g
• Professional help system inspired by modern CLI tools
• Better examples and documentation

Performance Improvements

• Optimized --max-results to exit search early once limit is reached, improving performance for partial searches by up to 3×

Bug Fixes

• Fixed depth limiting logic for proper recursion control
• Fixed hidden file detection using FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN
• Fixed symlink detection using FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT
• Fixed buffer truncation warning in time formatting

v0.4.0

• Add --stats flag for performance insights
• See real-time thread pool activity during large searches
• Monitor search performance and identify bottlenecks

v0.3.0

Major Improvements

Thanks to excellent contributions from @skeeto, this release brings significant performance and reliability improvements:

Performance

• Unity build: Faster compilation by combining all source files
• Optimized build process: Reduced build times, especially for windows.h parsing

Bug Fixes

• Initialization fix: Prevents crashes when running without arguments
• Memory safety: Proper initialization of all data structures

Development

• UBSan support: Undefined Behavior Sanitizer in debug builds for better error detection
• Windows compatibility: Explicit shell setting for consistent builds on Windows

Acknowledgments

Special thanks to @skeeto for:

• Testing on large codebases (llvm-project!)
• Providing detailed technical feedback
• Contributing multiple high-quality PRs

What's Changed

• Unity build implementation by @skeeto in #3
• UBSan in debug builds by @skeeto in #1
• Always initialize CLI structures by @skeeto in #2
• Explicit Windows shell setting by @skeeto in #4
