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).

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
