- **added** — Add `--ignore-parent` option to override `--no-ignore-parent`
- **added** — Add `--exact` option to match the entire filename exactly (literal, non-substring)
- **security** — Sanitize control characters and bidirectional override characters in filenames when output goes to a terminal to prevent terminal escape-sequence injection
- **changed** — Reject a placeholder as the executable for `--exec-batch`, while still allowing it for `--exec`
- **fixed** — Handle invalid working directories gracefully when using `--full-path`
- **fixed** — Fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for any pattern containing `/`, not just patterns that happen to name an existing directory
- **fixed** — Fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for `--and` patterns, not only the primary positional pattern
- **fixed** — Fix bug where passing "-" as a directory argument didn't actually search that directory
- **fixed** — Fix panic when `--changed-before`/`--changed-within` is given an out-of-range `@` Unix timestamp; the value is now rejected gracefully

##### Features
- Add `--ignore-parent` option to override `--no-ignore-parent`, see #1958 (@tmchow)
- Add `--exact` option to match the entire filename exactly (literal, non-substring).

##### Bugfixes
- Sanitize control characters and bidirectional override characters in filenames
  when output goes to a terminal, to prevent terminal escape-sequence injection.
  Also reject a placeholder as the executable for `--exec-batch`, while still
  allowing it for `--exec`.
- Handle invalid working directories gracefully when using `--full-path`, see #1900 (@Xavrir).
- Fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for any pattern containing `/`, not just patterns that happen to name an existing directory. Preserves the legacy Windows behaviour that also flags native `\` separators when the pattern resolves to a real directory. See #1873.
- Also fire the "search pattern contains a path separator" diagnostic for `--and` patterns, not only the primary positional pattern. `--and` patterns are matched against the file name just like the primary pattern, so a path separator in them silently returned zero results. See #1873.
- Fix bug where passing "-" as a directory argument didn't actually search that directory, see #849 (@Sean-Kenneth-Doherty).
- Fix panic when `--changed-before`/`--changed-within` is given an out-of-range `@` Unix timestamp; the value is now rejected gracefully, see #2081 (@nikolauspschuetz).
