* Noteworthy changes in release 4.11.0 (2026-07-11) [stable]
** Bug Fixes
find no longer crashes when diagnosing a directory cycle (without a symlink
being involved pointing to a parent directory).
[Bug present since the FTS implementation.]
'find -used' now behaves correctly on OpenBSD 7.8 with difftime(3) underflow
bug in the C library (already fixed there) when the access time of a file is
identical to its change time. [#68264]
'find -ignore_readdir_race' now better handles races between FTS reading a
directory and visiting its entries when the file or directory was meanwhile
removed. [#45930]
To fix a POSIX compatibility bug, -exec foo Z{} + is no longer a
complete predicate, because '+' is only a terminator when it follows
an argument which is exactly '{}'. The findutils documentation
already states this, and now find's behaviour matches the
documentation. [#66365]
'updatedb.sh' now properly handles the variables for the 'find' and 'frcode'
utilities, and hence avoids command injection.
** Changes in find
As announced since the release of 4.7.0 (2019) and mandated by POSIX 2024,
the behaviour of the -mount option changed: while it was a mere alias for
the -xdev option to prevent descending into directories of another device,
the -mount option now makes find(1) ignore files on another device, i.e.,
'find -mount' will skip the entry of active mount points already.
Example, assuming the PROC filesystem is mounted on '/proc':
$ find / -mount -path /proc -print
$ find / -xdev -path /proc -print
/proc
[#54745]
The actions -execdir and -okdir now refuse the '{}' replacement in the zeroth
argument of the command to be run. While POSIX allows this for -exec, this is
deemed insecure as an attacker could influence which files could be found.
'find -regex' with the default or the 'emacs' regextype now aligns better with
Emacs behaviour, and therefore e.g. supports character classes:
$ touch 123 && find -regex './12[[:digit:]]'
./123
find now issues a warning when the punctuation operators '(', ')', '!' and ','
are passed with a leading dash, e.g. '-!'. Future releases will not accept
that any more. Accepting that was rather a bug "since the beginning".
** Improvements
xargs now gives a better error diagnostic when executing the given command
failed.
** Future Changes
A future release will remove the warning message find prints about
the 2007 change in the meaning of "-perm /000". Everybody who is
likely to care probably knows about this change by now.
