This release introduces a number of new builtins, fixes some
regression bugs and supercharges the select optional
builtin (which I plan to include into the core builtins for non-Windows
users in the next release).
alter now supports --sum where
structures are merged and numeric values are added togethercount. This has deprecated
len however len will stick around as an alias
for backwards compatibilitylet: +=,
-=, /=, *=addheading for adding headings to
listslen get set and thus Murex can still move forward with
changes to builtins but without breaking backwards
compatibilityautocomplete now passes ISMETHOD
variable to dynamic completions so those dynamic completions are aware
if a command requesting auto-completion suggestions is being invoked as
a method (mid-pipeline) or function (start of a pipeline)[, now supports inlining element,
[[, lookups. eg [ a b [/map/c] ]@IncFiles or
@IncDirs will now automatically append files and/or
directories to their auto-completion suggestionsautocomplete directives: IncExeAll
(like IncExePath but includes builtins, functions,
aliases), IncManPage (include results from the
man page parser – usually suppressed when
autocomplete config is set)murex -c 'command' or when called in a
shebang), it’s also now ugly tooselect now supports passing a file in the
FROM syntax. eg
select * FROM ./example.csv. The caveat here is this breaks
currently auto-complete on column namesselect now supports multiple tables using either
named pipes (eg
select * FROM <table1>, <table2>) or variables
(eg select * FROM \$table1, \$table2) passed in the
FROM syntax. Variables should be escaped and you cannot
mix and match between named pipes, file names nor variables. You can use
any number of tables from 1 to 2^63-1 (64bit systems) or 1 to 2^31-1
(32bit systems). Which should be more than enough ;)config option for select to define
default output data type where multiple tables are importedopen functions can now be called by other functions
to take advantage of auto-typing and auto gunzip etc.tmp.Close() should return err. This
isn’t a bug but it might catch future bugsLazyLogging created to speed up writing tests
