Changes for version 1.96 - 2011-09-18

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Now ignores minified Javascript files. Anything matching -min.js or .min.js is ignored.
    • Added Groovy support (--groovy).
    • Added .pm6 as a --perl extension.
    • Lua can now get detected from the shebang line. Thanks, Matthew Wild.
    • Added support for version numbers in executables in shebang detection. Now if your Perl program's shebang refers to /usr/local/bin/perl-5.14.1, ack will find it.
