1.7
After a five year hiatus we're back with a GitHub organization, with new admins
and new maintainers who have brought a great deal of energy to make a
long-awaited and long-needed new release. We're very grateful for all the new
owners, admins, and maintainers. Special thanks go to Owen Ou (@owenthereal)
for pushing to set up a new GitHub organization for jq, Stephen Dolan (@stedolan)
for transferring the jq repository to the new organization, @itchyny for doing a
great deal of work to get the release done, Mattias Wadman (@wader) and Emanuele
Torre (@emanuele6) for many PRs and code reviews. Many others also contributed
PRs, issues, and code reviews as well, and you can find their contributions in
the Git log and on the [closed issues and PRs page]
(https://github.com/jqlang/jq/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+sort%3Aupdated-desc).
Since the last stable release many things have happened:
- jq now lives at <https://github.com/jqlang>
- New maintainers, admins, and owners have been recruited.
- A list of [current maintainers](https://github.com/jqlang/jq/blob/jq-1.7/AUTHORS#L4-L14)
- NEWS file is replaced by NEWS.md with Markdown format. @wader #2599
- CI, scan builds, release, website builds etc now use GitHub actions. @owenthereal @wader @itchyny #2596#2603#2620#2723
- Lots of documentation improvements and fixes.
- Website updated with new section search box, better section ids for linking, dark mode, etc. @itchyny #2628
- Release builds for:
- Linux `amd64`, `arm64`, `armel`, `armhf`, `i386`, `mips`, `mips64`, `mips64el`, `mips64r6`, `mips64r6el`, `mipsel`, `mipsr6`, `mipsr6el`, `powerpc`, `ppc64el`, `riscv64` and `s390x`

- Docker `linux/386`, `linux/amd64`, `linux/arm64`, `linux/mips64le`, `linux/ppc64le`, `linux/riscv64` and `linux/s390x`
- More details see @owenthereal #2665
- Docker images are now available from `ghcr.io/jqlang/jq` instead of Docker Hub. @itchyny #2652#2686
- OSS-fuzz. @DavidKorczynski #2760#2762
Full commit log can be found at <https://github.com/jqlang/jq/compare/jq-1.6...jq-1.7> but here are some highlights:
CLI changes
- Make object key color configurable using `JQ_COLORS` environment variable. @itchyny @haguenau @ericpruitt #2703
- Change the default color of null to Bright Black. @itchyny #2824
- Respect `NO_COLOR` environment variable to disable color output. See <https://no-color.org> for details. @itchyny #2728
- Improved `--help` output. Now mentions all options and nicer order. @itchyny @wader #2747#2766#2799
- Fix multiple issues of exit code using `--exit-code`/`-e` option. @ryo1kato #1697
- Add `--binary`/`-b` on Windows for binary output. To get `\n` instead of `\r\n` line endings. @nicowilliams 0dab2b1
- Add `--raw-output0` for NUL (zero byte) separated output. @asottile @pabs3 @itchyny #1990#2235#2684
- Fix assert crash and validate JSON for `--jsonarg`. @wader #2658
- Remove deprecated `--argfile` option. @itchyny #2768
- Enable stack protection. @nicowilliams #2801
Language changes
- Use decimal number literals to preserve precision. Comparison operations respects precision but arithmetic operations might truncate. @leonid-s-usov #1752
- Adds new builtin `pick(stream)` to emit a projection of the input object or array. @pkoppstein #2656#2779
- Adds new builtin `debug(msgs)` that works like `debug` but applies a filter on the input before writing to stderr. @pkoppstein #2710
- Adds new builtin `scan($re; $flags)`. Was documented but not implemented. @itchyny #1961
- Adds new builtin `abs` to get absolute value. This potentially allows the literal value of numbers to be preserved as `length` and `fabs` convert to float. @pkoppstein #2767
- Allow `if` without `else`-branch. When skipped the `else`-branch will be `.` (identity). @chancez @wader #1825#2481
- Allow use of `$binding` as key in object literals. @nicowilliams 8ea4a55
- Allow dot between chained indexes when using `.["index"]` @nicowilliams #1168
- Allow dot for chained value iterator `.[]`, `.[]?` @wader #2650
- Fix try/catch catches more than it should. @nicowilliams #2750
- Speed up and refactor some builtins, also remove `scalars_or_empty/0`. @muhmuhten #1845
- Now `halt` and `halt_error` exit immediately instead of continuing to the next input. @emanuele6 #2667
- Fix issue converting string to number after previous convert error. @thalman #2400
- Fix issue representing large numbers on some platforms causing invalid JSON output. @itchyny #2661
- Fix deletion using assigning empty against arrays. @itchyny #2133
- Allow keywords to be used as binding name in more places. @emanuele6 #2681
- Allow using `nan` as NaN in JSON. @emanuele6 #2712
- Expose a module's function names in `modulemeta`. @mrwilson #2837
- Fix `contains/1` to handle strings with NUL. @nicowilliams 61cd6db
- Fix `stderr/0` to output raw text without any decoration. @itchyny #2751
- Fix `nth/2` to emit empty on index out of range. @itchyny #2674
- Fix `implode` to not assert and instead replace invalid unicode codepoints. @wader #2646
- Fix `indices/1` and `rindex/1` in case of overlapping matches in strings. @emanuele6 #2718
- Fix `sub/3` to resolve issues involving global search-and-replace (gsub) operations. @pkoppstein #2641
- Fix `significand/0`, `gamma/0` and `drem/2` to be available on macOS. @itchyny #2756#2775
- Fix empty regular expression matches. @itchyny #2677
- Fix overflow exception of the modulo operator. @itchyny #2629
- Fix string multiplication by 0 (and less than 1) to emit empty string. @itchyny #2142
- Fix segfault when using libjq and threads. @thalman #2546
- Fix constant folding of division and reminder with zero divisor. @itchyny #2797
- Fix `error/0`, `error/1` to throw null error. @emanuele6 #2823
- Simpler and faster `transpose`. @pkoppstein #2758
- Simple and efficient implementation of `walk/1`. @pkoppstein #2795
- Remove deprecated filters `leaf_paths`, `recurse_down`. @itchyny #2666

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Bumping across one of our scripts with very long trailing whitespaces, I
thought it might be a good idea to clean these up. Doing so, some
missing or inconsistent licence headers were fixed.
There is no need in shipping all these files en bloc, as their
functionality won't change.
