After a multi-year hiatus, an org transfer with new admins and maintainers, jq 1.7 has been released!

3 years ago by Gamma to c/shell

Check out the newest version of everyone's favorite^[citation needed] command line json processing tool!

Highlights include significant speed improvements (>10x on some of my workloads), new flags, new builtins, and a litany of bugfixes.

The speed ups are definitely understated in the release notes if they are that significant

That's because it was a regression from 1.5 to 1.6 that got fixed.

The 10x speedup is in linking builtins during startup, so it's only really seen for very small inputs.

I get that they're embarrassed to mention it, but it's still worth a bullet in the release notes I reckon

From Ash, Bash and Csh to Xonsh, Ysh and Zsh; all shell languages are welcome here!

Rules:
  1. Follow Lemmy rules!
  2. Posts must relate to shell scripting. (See bottom of sidebar for more information.)
  3. Only make helpful replies to questions. This is not the place for low effort joke answers.
  4. No discussion about piracy or hacking.
  5. If you find a solution to your problem by other means, please take your time to write down the steps you used to solve your problem in the original post. You can potentially help others having the same problem!
  6. These rules will change as the community grows.

Keep posts about shell scripting! Here are some guidelines to help:

  • Allowed: Release Announcement of a command-line program designed for scripted use (e.g. bash, bats, awk, jq, coreutils/moreutils)
  • Allowed: Tutorials on using shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
  • Allowed: Code review/help requests for shell languages or supplementary tools designed for scripted use
  • NOT Allowed: Announcement of a CLI or TUI program that is not designed for scripted use (Yes, your fancy Zsh plugin which pretty-prints the date and time using only builtins is very cool, but unless you actually want to discuss the code itself, please check out !commandline instead!)
  • NOT Allowed: Domain-specific tutorials that do not involve shell scripting as a core component (e.g. docker-compose, ansible, nix). If you really love one of these, I'm sure there's a community out there ready to talk about them!
  • NOT Allowed: Code review requests for non-shell programming languages and configuration languages (e.g. Python, Yaml)

In general, if your submission text is primarily shell code, then it is welcome here!
