Changes for version 1.36 - 2006-12-10

  • THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE
    • The ACK_SWITCHES environment variable must now be ACK_OPTIONS. You'll be warned if you have ACK_SWITCHES set.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Adding long variants of options a la GNU grep. Now you can use --ignore-case as well as -i. You shouldn't be surprised that that's the same as in GNU grep.
  • DOCUMENTATION
    • Now there's a real man page.
