CHANGELOG

0.9.5

New features

Added --ansi option (#150)

If you give --ansi option to fzf, fzf will interpret ANSI color codes from the input, display the item with the ANSI colors (true colors are not supported), and strips the codes from the output. This option is off by default as it entails some overhead.

Improvements

Reduced initial memory footprint (#151)

By removing unnecessary copy of pointers, fzf will use significantly smaller amount of memory when it's started. The difference is hugely noticeable when the input is extremely large. (e.g. locate / | fzf)

Bug fixes

• Fixed panic on --no-sort --filter '' (#149)

0.9.4

New features

Added --tac option to reverse the order of the input.

One might argue that this option is unnecessary since we can already put tac or tail -r in the command pipeline to achieve the same result. However, the advantage of --tac is that it does not block until the input is complete.

Backward incompatible changes

Changed behavior on --no-sort

--no-sort option will no longer reverse the display order within finder. You may want to use the new --tac option with --no-sort.

history | fzf +s --tac

Improvements

--filter will not block when sort is disabled

When fzf works in filtering mode (--filter) and sort is disabled (--no-sort), there's no need to block until input is complete. The new version of fzf will print the matches on-the-fly when the following condition is met:

--filter TERM --no-sort [--no-tac --no-sync]

or simply:

-f TERM +s

This change removes unnecessary delay in the use cases like the following:

fzf -f xxx +s | head -5

However, in this case, fzf processes the lines sequentially, so it cannot utilize multiple cores, and fzf will run slightly slower than the previous mode of execution where filtering is done in parallel after the entire input is loaded. If the user is concerned about this performance problem, one can add --sync option to re-enable buffering.

0.9.3

New features

• Added --sync option for multi-staged filtering

Improvements

• --select-1 and --exit-0 will start finder immediately when the condition cannot be met
