Features
- The new count verb is a keystroke-saver for
stats1 -a count -f {some field name}
. - --jsonx and --ojsonx are keystroke-savers for
--json --jvstack
and--ojson --jvstack
, which is to say, multi-line pretty-printed JSON format. - The new -s name=value feature for
mlr put
andmlr filter
gives you simpler access to environment variables in your Miller script, as requested in #315.
Bugfixes
mlr format-values
is no longer SEGVing on CSV/TSV input. This was reported on #330.- #313 fixes a corner case when field names within command-line arguments have embedded newlines.
- Line/column indicators for JSON-formatting error messages are now correct (previously they were showing up as 0).
end {print NF}
no longer SEGVs. This was reported in #330.- Several broken doc links were fixed up as reported on #329.
Windows note
- The AppVeyor build has been broken for a while so there is no Windows executable attached to this release -- when I fix that there will be a 5.8.1 with Windows binaries. My apologies for the delay. Issue #354 is open to track this.
