This update has introduced a potential breaking change: variables now
need to be defined before usage otherwise the commandline will fail.
Read notes to learn how to disable this feature where needed. Also
included in this release is the select command as part of
the standard build.
strict-vars is enabled by default. This means if a
variable doesn’t exist / hasn’t been instantiated then your command will
fail. You can disable this by putting
config: set proc strict-vars false inside any affected
functions and/or in your ~/.murex_profileselect builtin now added to the default build. This
built in will stream tabulated data into an in memory sqlite3 database
and take SQL arguments to query that data. Thus allowing you to inline
SQL queries as part of your native command line. This addition will add
complications for anyone building from source on Windows. If you are a
Windows user you are recommended to use WSL or, if you desperately need
to use Murex natively on Windows, download the appropriate per-compiled
binary from the downloads page$PATH will now be subject to the same inclusion rules as
Windows file systems when Murex is used in Windows. This means only
executables (ie files with .exe, amongst other, extensions
are present). This has dramatically cleaned up autocomplete suggestions
when running Murex in WSL.autocomplete directive: FileRegexp.
Use this if you want to return only files where the file name matches a
defined pattern (eg only .txt files:
\.txt$)get, getfile,
post, open, etc) supports additional logic
with dynamically guessing the correct data type to assign to stdout
where the Content-Type hasn’t been mapped. Any
Content-Type with a +json suffix will be
assumed to be json data typegetfile output has been revamped. If stdout is a TTY
then you’ll now see a progress bar.tfstate (Terraform state files) have been added to
supported JSON extensions~/.ssh/config hosts have been added to SSH (et al)’s

.murex_preload nor.murex_profile`get, getfile,
post, open, etc) wasn’t breaking down the
Content-Type header correctly. This only affected unknown
MIME types where Murex had to guess the correct data type to assign to
stdout. This is an edge case bug.while, when used without a separate parameter for
the conditional logic, was buffering the stdout for each loop and
outputting it after that iteration had ended. while now
uses a “tee” stdio writer which means it can stream stdout while the
iteration is in progress Synonyms:Published: 26.02.2022 at 18:33
