JC version 1.26.2

on GitHub

Note: this release changes the output schema of some parsers:
x509-cert/x509-csr/x509-crl, proc-net-packet, proc-pid-fdinfo, ssh-conf, iw-scan, ping-s, proc-pid-numa-maps, plist, and ifconfig. Please see the parsers' documentation for the updated schemas.

Note: the Windows .msi and .zip now include the python 3.14 runtime. The
executable file is now significantly smaller.

• Enhance many parsers to avoid slow parsing of long or unusual field values,
  including cef, syslog, who, iptables, nftables, mount, ss,
  ping, traceroute, ifconfig, and the /proc file parsers
• Enhance table parsers to use less time and memory on wide or ragged tables
• Enhance yaml, plist, and xml parsers to stop with an error when shared
  references or DTD attribute defaults would make the output extremely large
• Fix many parsers to split lines only on LF and CRLF line endings so other
  line-break characters inside a field no longer split a record. This also
  applies to --slurp and line slicing
• Fix several parsers to split fields only on spaces and tabs, and enhance the
  netrc parser to support quoted values, escapes, comments, and the user
  keyword
• Fix several parsers where text inside a value could be mistaken for a new
  record, section, or field (e.g. rpm-qi, pacman, cbt, http-headers)
• Fix dig, host, rpm-qi, and iftop parsers where data from one record
  could carry into later records
• Fix "magic" syntax and /proc file input to pass line endings to the parser
  unchanged, matching STDIN input
• Fix streaming parsers to read STDIN as UTF-8 lines split on LF and CRLF on
  all platforms. Invalid UTF-8 bytes are now shown as escapes instead of
  stopping the parser, even with -qq
• Fix several streaming parsers to handle CRLF line endings and blank input
  when used as a python library. Library usage examples now use split('\n')
• Fix proc parser to report an error instead of empty output for input that
  is not a recognized /proc file
• Fix many parsers where a header-like, keyword-like or separator-like value
  changed how later lines were read (e.g. arp, host, iptables,
  iwconfig, blkid, crontab, http-headers, netstat, asciitable)
• Fix many parsers to keep field values exactly as printed: file names with
  spaces or " -> " (ls, stat, dir), quoted or escaped values (cef,
  syslog, clf, findmnt, mount, nftables), git C-quoted paths, ping
  replies, ss unix sockets, and iftop port-less flows
• Fix sparse_table_parse based parsers (df, lsblk, ...) to align columns
  by display width and keep cell text intact
• Fix proc parser to identify /proc/net/packet on 64-bit kernels and
  /proc/net/protocols on current kernels
• Fix iostat, mpstat, pidstat and their streaming parsers to reject rows
  that do not fit the header
• Fix CLI to escape C1 control characters in JSON output and control
  characters in warning and error messages
• Fix -M to replace a _jc_meta field found in the parsed data
• Enhance several parsers to avoid repeated scans of long input (e.g.
  dmidecode, ics, crontab, cef, apachectl, netstat, asciitable)
• proc-net-packet now returns a list of all rows (previously only the first
  row, as an object)
• Fix x509-crl parser to convert every CRL in PEM files with more than one
  CRL. The output is now a list of CRL objects (like x509-cert), even for
  one CRL. This is a schema change
• Fix ssh-conf parser so remoteforward and dynamicforward are arrays
  of strings (schema change), and add rekeylimit_bytes,
  rekeylimit_seconds and controlpersist_seconds
• Fix proc-pid-fdinfo parser to convert octal flags/settime flags and
  hex inotify wd, and to output every lock, epoll target, inotify watch and
  fanotify mark. This is a breaking schema change: flags values change,
  lock, epoll and inotify are now lists, and fanotify marks are in a
  fanotify.marks list
• Fix proc-pid-numa-maps parser so address is always a string (all-digit
  addresses such as 00400000 were converted to integers)
• Add proc-net-udp parser for /proc/net/udp and /proc/net/udp6
• Add GeneralName type keys (*_general_names, *_type) to the x509-cert,
  x509-csr and x509-crl parsers so DNS, email, URI, IP and other names can
  be told apart
• Fix ifconfig parser to read BSD and macOS flags and nd6_options as
  hexadecimal, as ifconfig prints them (e.g. flags=8843 is now 34883).
  Linux flags values are unchanged
• Fix many parsers to split lines only on LF and CRLF (all line-oriented
  parsers except ping)
• Fix iw-scan parser so a header line from one BSS no longer prefixes the
  keys of the following BSS records. Keys like config_methods_freq and
  bss_load_signal are now freq and signal_dbm
• Fix ping-s parser to use the integer response_bytes field for BSD IPv6
  replies and BSD error records (previously a string bytes field, or
  sent_bytes for IPv6 errors)
• Fix ping and ping-s parsers to read the FreeBSD 13+ ping -6 header
• Fix ss parser so the detail lines printed by -e, -i and -m no
  longer create extra records
• Fix host, df, rpm-qi, pkg-index-deb, apt-cache-show and
  proc-pid-mountinfo edge cases (two SOA lines, whitespace-only rows,
  repeated normalized field names, unbindable optional field)
