Changes for version 1.77_01 - 2008-01-27

  • CHANGED FUNCTIONALITY
    • ack now always searches files given on the command line, even if they are of the wrong type or not recognized or normally skipped.
    • .bak files are now automatically skipped. I don't know how I missed this before.
  • FIXES
    • Added a test for the Perl 5.10 regex bug fixed in 1.76.
    • Made the regex for --thppptttt a little more robust. It used to have to end with a single "t", but now it's more flexible.
    • Changed year in copyright note to 2008.
    • Updated references in README (removed link to CPAN RT Queue).
    • Fixed a problem with files with non-native line-ending (DOS or MacOS on Unix). Instead of the matching line an empty line was output. This was reported by multiple people, thanks!
    • Rewrote a test to work around a bug in old versions of Test::More (before 0.48_2).
    • Fixed ack failure when encountering unreadable files. Reported by David Dyck, thank you!
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Ack warns now when the files/directories given on the command line don't exist.
    • Finally ack allows you to define your own types! See options --type-set and --type-add. There are some restrictions left, but it should suffice for most things.
