Release Notes

watchexec/watchexec (watchexec/watchexec)

v2.5.1: CLI v2.5.1

Compare Source

No changes, but two new builds:

• RISC-V (RV64GC)
• FreeBSD (x86-64)

The website has also been refreshed, it's a lot easier to figure out which file to download there: https://watchexec.github.io/downloads/watchexec/2.5.1/.

v2.5.0: CLI v2.5.0

Compare Source

• Feature: add --timeout flag to kill long-running commands (#​1022)
• Feature: specify when --notify fires (start, end, both) (#​1021)
• Feature: add --exit-on-error to exit if the process errored (#​1023)

This release also bumps the required rustc for building the CLI to 1.93.0 — I'm aware this is pretty new, so if that causes issues, especially for packagers, let me know.

v2.4.3: CLI v2.4.3

Compare Source

• Deps: update lockfile to avoid a couple of yanked transitive dependencies

v2.4.2: CLI v2.4.2

Compare Source

• Fix: Ctrl-C not quitting until hitting enter in interactive mode (a side-effect of the fix landed in 2.4.1)

v2.4.1: CLI v2.4.1

Compare Source

• Fix: a bug on macOS where the process wasn't fully quitting when using --interactive.

v2.4.0: CLI v2.4.0

Compare Source

• Add -I, --interactive mode, which enables some keyboard-driven actions: p (pause filesystem events), r (start or restart the current command), q (quit). (#​67)
• We now stop saying "Waiting 10s" when the process is not running (#​975)

Known bug, fixed in 2.4.1: on macOS you have to press enter after using q in --interactive mode.

v2.3.3: CLI v2.3.3

Compare Source

Fixes from contributors:

• bring watchexec global ignore file discovery in line with git (#​973)
• eliminate a panic when SIGTERM is received in some circumstances (#​982)

All dependencies were also updated.

A change in the "bosion" crate, which provides build-time information for the verbose version output, means that the dependency tree when building from source is about 300 crates lighter, which should result in ~30-60 seconds faster builds.

Development pace has slowed considerably but Watchexec remains pretty solid, though it has its various longstanding bugs. Contributions are always appreciated. Let's hope 2026 is a good year.

v2.3.2: CLI v2.3.2

Compare Source

Change the --wrap-process default on Mac to pre-1.24 behaviour (session, instead of group).

Please chime in #​864 if that breaks your usage.

v2.3.1: CLI v2.3.1

Compare Source

Internal dependency updates, no changed functionality.
