This release brings support for string interpolation, including custom formatters (thanks to @kklingenberg). That means that you can now write something like @uri "https://www.google.com/search?q=\(.search)" and have it interpreted like in jq.
Furthermore, like in the upcoming jq 1.7, else branches in if-then-else expressions can now be omitted.
This version is planned to be the last one before 1.0. No new features are supposed to be integrated into 1.0, only bug fixes.
From this release on, binaries are automatically built. It would be great if someone with an Apple system could test it on their machine.
