The search path listed in an import directive can now be an array. The top-level search path is appended. Null and empty strings in the path terminate any search. The "." in "." and "./*" is replaced with the directory containing the file doing the import (for command-line programs this is the current directory, though that may be a bad idea). No version numbers or anything of the sort are gratuitously added to the search paths. All this makes external package managers possible by allowing dependencies to be installed local to dependents.
jq
jq is a command-line JSON processor.
If you want to learn to use jq, read the documentation at http://stedolan.github.io/jq. This documentation is generated from the docs/ folder of this repository. You can also try it online at jqplay.org.
If you want to hack on jq, feel free, but be warned that its internals are not well-documented at the moment. Bring a hard hat and a shovel. Also, read the wiki: http://github.com/stedolan/jq/wiki
If you're building directly from the latest git, you'll need flex, bison, libtool, make, autoconf and libonig installed. To build, run:
autoreconf -i
./configure
make -j8
make check
After make finishes, you'll be able to use ./jq. You can also
install it using:
sudo make install
If you're not using the latest git version but instead building a
released tarball (available on the website), then you won't need to
run autoreconf (and shouldn't), and you won't need flex or bison.
To cross-compile for OS X and Windows, see docs/Rakefile's build task and scripts/crosscompile. You'll need a cross-compilation environment, such as Mingw for cross-compiling for Windows.
