     1  # v2.8
     2  
     3  This release comes with a number of experimental but stable features that might eventually become standard practice. The features are there to use if you with but adjacent from the older code so there is zero risk in updating to this version.
     4  
     5  ### Breaking Changes:
     6  
     7  * None
     8  
     9  ### Features:
    10  
    11  * New data-type `jsonc` (Concatenated JSON). This is an experimental parser for reading multiple JSON documents in a single file or stream. The expectation is that it will eventually replace `jsonl` (jsonlines) and possibly even the default `json` data-type
    12  
    13  * Autocomplete can now split on `=`. However this is an experimental feature
    14  
    15  * New `autocomplete` directive: `Goto`. This is an experimental way to add a little more structure to autocomplete definitions without resorting to using dynamic code everywhere
    16  
    17  * `autocomplete` directive `FlagValues` now supports two values: `"*"` and `""`. These define default properties regardless of the flag used
    18  
    19  ### Minor Changes:
    20  
    21  * Unmatched records in **index** (`[`) when parsing a table now produces the same configurable behavior (erroring by default but which can be disabled) as when using **index** against an object
    22  
    23  * Autocompletion suggestions for `yarn`
    24  
    25  * Data-type field in `function` is now optional
    26  
    27  * Lots of improvements to the docs
    28  
    29  ### Bug Fixes:
    30  
    31  * `$MyVar[[/path/to/element]]` now behaves the same when used infixed as it did when used as a function
