Releases: haltcase/glob
v0.6.0
This release has the potential to greatly improve performance. glob will no longer traverse into directories or over files that have no hope of matching the given pattern. A simple example is that a shallow pattern like *.nim can only match files with a .nim extension in the current directory — so glob should never enter a subdirectory or consider files with any other extension. This is now the case!
TL;DR when using shallow patterns in roots of huge directory structures, users should see huge performance gains.
PERFORMANCE

v0.5.0
This release brings a number of API improvements, the most significant of which is that procs/iterators like listGlob that previously only accepted string patterns now also accept pre-constructed Glob objects:
import glob
const matcher = glob("src/**/*.nim")
# the following are now equivalent:
listGlob(matcher)
listGlob("src/**/*.nim")This makes globs more reusable and can reduce the number of created objects.
An internal proc named splitPattern is now exposed publicly:
import glob
echo splitPattern("src/dir/**/*.{png,svg}")
# -> (base: "src/dir", magic: "**/*.{png.svg}")The full feature update list is below, and all of these have been documented on the full docs site.
FEATURES
walkGlobKinds,walkGlob, &listGlobnow also accept
a preconstructedGlobobject instead of a string- the internal
splitPatternproc is now publicly exported,
which allows users to split string glob patterns into their
"magic" & "non-magic" (base) parts Globobjects now contain theirbase&magicpath segmentshasMagicnow checks for extended glob features like pattern
matches
v0.4.0
While it's a fairly small release, almost the entire glob parser was actually rewritten for this release to make supporting extended pattern matches easier and to generally make it simpler. 🎉
