- Update to version 5.4.0
Features:
* The new clean-whitespace verb resolves#190 from @aborruso.
Along with the new functions strip, lstrip, rstrip,
collapse_whitespace, and clean_whitespace, there is now both
coarse-grained and fine-grained control over whitespace
within field names and/or values. See the linked-to
documentation for examples.
* The new altkv verb resolves#184 which was originally opened
via an email request. This supports mapping value-lists such
as a,b,c,d to alternating key-value pairs such as a=b,c=d.
* The new fill-down verb resolves#189 by @aborruso. See the
linked-to documentation for examples.
* The uniq verb now has a uniq -a which resolves#168 from
@sjackman.
* The new regextract and regextract_or_else functions resolve
#183 by @aborruso.
* The new ssub function arises from #171 by @dohse, as a
simplified way to avoid escaping characters which are special
to regular-expression parsers.
* There are new localtime functions in response to #170 by
@sitaramc. However note that as discussed on #170 these do
not undo one another in all circumstances. This is a
non-issue for timezones which do not do DST. Otherwise, please
use with disclaimers: localdate, localtime2sec, sec2localdate,
sec2localtime, strftime_local, and strptime_local.
* Travis builds at
https://travis-ci.org/johnkerl/miller/builds now run on OSX as
well as Linux.
* An Ubuntu 17 build issue was fixed by @singalen on #164.
Documentation:
* put/filter documentation was confusing as reported by
@NikosAlexandris on #169.
* The new FAQ entry
http://johnkerl.org/miller-releases/miller-head/doc/faq.html#How_
to_rectangularize_after_joins_with_unpaired? resolves#193 by
@aborruso.
* The new cookbook entry
http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/cookbook.html#Options_for_dealing_
with_duplicate_rows arises from #168 from @sjackman.
* The unsparsify documentation had some words missing as
reported by @tst2005 on #194.
* There was a typo in the cookpage page
http://johnkerl.org/miller/doc/cookbook.html#Full_field_renames_a
nd_reassigns as fixed by @tst2005 in #192.
Bugfixes:
* There was a memory leak for TSV-format files only as
reported by @treynr on #181.
* Dollar sign in regular expressions were not being escaped
properly as reported by @dohse on #171.
