Changes for version 1.14 - 2006-05-30

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added -f flag to only show the files that would be searched, instead of actually searching them. This means that you can get an easy way to get a list of all the Perl files in the current directory, for example, by doing
      • ack -f --perl
      • Or in multiple directories
        • ack -f --perl thisdir thatdir
  • FIXES
    • Added back -a as a synonym for --all.
