Added -r, -R and --recurse options as in grep. They have no effect because directory recursion is on by default. Also added --no-recurse for orthoganality. Thanks to Mark Stosberg and Ryan Niebur.
Version in --version is prettier. Thanks, Ori Avtalion.
Added an updated ack.bash_completion.sh from Adam James.
FIXES
Expanded --files-without-match to --files-without-matches.
Removed all the hi-bit characters, so we don't have any encoding problems. It's all entities now.
Fixed capture-stderr to localize some globals that were obscuring errors. Thanks very much to Christopher Madsen.
Fixed uninitialized errors in tickets #138 and #159.
DOCUMENTATION
Fixed an incorrect command line in the docs for -f.
Added notes on --pager. Thanks to Mike Morearty.
BUILD
Made the squash program more robust when handling POD. Thanks to Kent Fredric.
Changes for version 1.89_02 - 2009-05-13
DISTRIBUTION
Updated Makefile.PL to use new ExtUtils::MakeMaker features. Thanks, Schwern.
FEATURES
--version now shows the version of Perl that ack is running under, and the full path to the Perl executable.
Added new switches --color-match and --color-filename, which let you define ACK_COLOR_MATCH and ACK_COLOR_FILENAME from the command line.
Added new switch --column to display the column of the first hit on the row. Thanks to Eric Van Dewoestine.
Added .ss to --scheme.
FIXES
No longer die if you have a .tar.gz file in your tree.
More tweaks to get the detection of input and output pipes working.
Fixed an amazingly bad call to cmp_ok() in t/ack-passthru.t.
