Work on this release has been sponsored by the NLnet foundation, to whom I would like to express my deep gratitude.
This release brings an exciting new addition: the jaq playground! Unlike its counterpart, the jq playground, the jaq playground runs jq filters on your computer and does not send data to a server to process it there. This makes it also suitable to run filters that yield an infinite number of outputs. For more details, see here.
The other big change is that when jaq is used as a library, you can now use it to process custom types of values. That makes it possible to adapt jaq to process non-JSON data, similarly to fq. See ValT for a description of the functions that every value type has to provide. (Thanks to @wader for providing feedback!)
In this version, the core and standard libraries of jaq (which provide named functions, such as length) still only provide functionality for JSON, but I plan to also change this in the future.
