Changes for version 1.92 - 2009-12-11

  • ack is now hosted at github: http://github.com/petdance/ack
  • FIXES
    • The --pager flag would not work. Now it does. Thanks Packy Anderson.
    • File matching for Emacs work files that match #*# was wrong. It was checking the entire path, not just the basename. This is fixed. (http://github.com/petdance/ack/issues/closed/#issue/101)
    • Fixed URLs that pointed to old Google Code.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added Scala support. Thanks to Dan Sully.
    • Added .phtml as an extension for PHP.
    • Using -f or -g now return a proper error code. If files are found, ack returns 0. If none are found, ack returns 1. This is a change in the specification, but the code didn't match the specfication anyway.
    • No man pages are created for any of the .pm files any more.
