ripgrep 13 is a new major version release of ripgrep that primarily contains bug fixes, some performance improvements and a few minor breaking changes. There is also a fix for a security vulnerability on Windows (CVE-2021-3013).

In case you haven't heard of it before, ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files.

A new short flag, -., has been added. It is an alias for the --hidden flag, which instructs ripgrep to search hidden files and directories.

ripgrep is now using a new vectorized implementation of memmem, which accelerates many common searches. If you notice any performance regressions (or major improvements), I'd love to hear about them through an issue report!

Also, for Windows users targeting MSVC, Cargo will now build fully static executables of ripgrep. The release binaries for ripgrep 13 have been compiled using this configuration.
