CHANGELOG.md

1.3.2 Maintenance Release

• Support extension functions that mix sync/async behaviours (issue #77)

1.3.1 Maintenance Release

• Fix S0202 error insert to report token value, not token type (PR #74)
• Remove use of array iterators because they were failing to transpile to ES5 correctly (issue #78)

1.3.0 Milestone Release

• Property names containing reserved tokens can now be quoted using backticks (`). The current quoting mechanism using single or double quotes is deprecated and will probably be removed in a future major (e.g. v2.0.0) release.
• The parser can be invoked in a robust mode whereby errors will be indicated by an error token in the parse tree rather than throwing an exception. This is the first step in creating a parser that can recover and report multiple errors. The default mode remains to throw an exception on first syntax error.
• New functions
  • $merge - merge an array of objects into a single object
  • $millis - current timestamp in milliseconds since the epoch

1.2.6 Maintenance Release

• fix evaluator when array constructor is the first step in a path expression (issue #63)

1.2.5 Maintenance Release

• Fix $base64encode and $base64decode functions in the browser

1.2.4 Maintenance Release

• Fix an issue running in IE11 and phantom.js (#58)

1.2.3 Maintenance Release

• Fix an issue for a few functions that were not working in ES5 transpiled version (#56)

1.2.2 Maintenance Release

• Update readme.md with API documentation
• Correctly handle null values when executed with a callback (#53)

1.2.1 Maintenance Release

• Generate ES5 compatible version of jsonata.js (jsonata-es5.js & jsonata-es5.min.js) using Babel
  • use the -es5 version if you need to support older browsers or phantom.js
• New functions $base64encode & base64decode
• Fix formatting of inserts in error messages

1.2.0 Milestone Release

• New syntax to specify order of query results
• Support for asynchronous extension functions - callbacks and promises
• New functions
  • $floor - numeric rounding down
  • $ceil - numeric rounding up
  • $round - numeric round half to even
  • $abs - numeric absolute value
  • $power - numeric power function
  • $sqrt - square root
  • $random - generate random number
  • $now - current timestamp
  • $filter - filter array with predicate function
  • $sort - sort array with comparator function
  • $reverse - reverse contents of array
  • $shuffle - shuffle contents of array into random order
  • $zip - convolves (zips) multiple arrays into an array of tuples (nested arrays)
  • $each - generate array from object by applying function to key/value pairs
  • $sift - sift contents of object with predicate function
• The following (previously undocumented) functions have been modified to align them with other functions
  • $map - apply a function to all values in an array
  • $reduce - apply a function to aggregate (fold) all values in an array

1.1.1 Maintenance Release

• fix chaining operator for falsy inputs
• fix tokenizer regression for name tokens that start with "in" and "or"

  • $replace - replaces occurrences of a substring or regex in a string
  • $trim - removes excessive whitespace in a string
• Function chaining operator ~>
  • allows multiple functions to be applied without excessive nesting
• Context substitutable function parameters
  • allows functions to implicitly operate on the context value
• Function signature syntax
  • to support runtime validation of function arguments
• Errors now have error codes
  • messages maintained in separate catalog
