ripgrep 12.1.0

on Rust Cargo

ripgrep 12.1.0 is a small minor version release that mostly includes bug fixes
and documentation improvements. This release also contains some important
notices for downstream packagers.

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

Notices for downstream ripgrep package maintainers:

• Fish shell completions will be removed in the ripgrep 13 release.
  See #1577
  for more details.
• ripgrep has switched from a2x to asciidoctor to generate the man page.
  If asciidoctor is not present, then ripgrep will currently fall back to
  a2x. Support for a2x will be dropped in the ripgrep 13 release.
  See #1544
  for more details.
