chirp 0.4.0

chirp 0.4.0 is an unofficial build of Janet. It is not a Janet release and is not made by Janet's maintainers.

It bundles TLS (jsec with a static OpenSSL 3), spork, spork-https, SQLite (sqlite3, with FTS5), TOML (tomlin) YAML (yaml, on libyaml), Perl-style regular expressions (pcre2, on PCRE2), Markdown to HTML (md4c), HTML parsing with CSS selectors (lexbor) and an insertion-ordered map (omap) that json and yaml decode to and encode from, in one binary per target, plus offline help (chirp help). Each target's third-party license texts are in its NOTICES-<target>.txt.

Check a download before you run it, as described under "Verifying a download" in the README:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing
gh attestation verify <file> --repo roobie/chirp

SHA256SUMS.sig is an Ed25519 signature of SHA256SUMS. chirp self-update checks it with the key built into chirp before installing a newer release.

On Windows, HTTPS needs SSL_CERT_FILE pointing at a PEM CA bundle for now.

Changes

Released 2026-10-28.

Added

• pcre2, Perl-style regular expressions on PCRE2 10.49: pcre2/compile, pcre2/match, pcre2/find-all, pcre2/replace, pcre2/replace-all, pcre2/split and pcre2/version. Patterns are UTF-8 by default and support named groups; replacements take $1, ${name} and $$. Matching is bounded by :match-limit, :depth-limit and :heap-limit, all with defaults, so a runaway pattern fails with an error naming the limit instead of hanging.
• md4c, Markdown to HTML on md4c 0.6.0: md4c/to-html and md4c/version. The default is plain CommonMark; :github turns on GitHub's dialect, and each extension (tables, footnotes, task lists and others) can be set on its own. :no-html drops raw HTML from the input.
• lexbor, HTML parsing and CSS selectors on lexbor 3.0.1: lexbor/parse parses HTML as a browser does, lexbor/select and lexbor/select-first find elements by selector in document order, and lexbor/text, lexbor/attr, lexbor/attrs, lexbor/tag, lexbor/html and lexbor/inner-html read what was found. Nodes are handles that keep their document alive, compare equal when they are the same node, and can be searched in turn.

chirp 0.3.0

chirp 0.3.0 is an unofficial build of Janet. It is not a Janet release and is not made by Janet's maintainers.

It bundles TLS (jsec with a static OpenSSL 3), spork, spork-https, SQLite (sqlite3, with FTS5), TOML (tomlin) YAML (yaml, on libyaml) and an insertion-ordered map (omap) that json and yaml decode to and encode from, in one binary per target, plus offline help (chirp help).

Changes

Released 2026-10-25.

Added

• chirp -h and chirp --help print chirp's own entry points (scripts, stdin, help, self-update, --changelog), then Janet's options.
• yaml, YAML decoding and encoding on libyaml: yaml/decode, yaml/decode-all and yaml/encode, shaped like spork/json. Plain scalars follow the YAML 1.2 Core schema, so no and on stay strings. Anchors, aliases and << merge keys work, and an alias bomb fails with an error instead of exhausting memory.
• omap, an insertion-ordered map: omap/new, omap/from-pairs, omap/pairs and omap/omap?. get, put, in, keys, values, pairs, eachp, length and printing work as on a table; putting a key again keeps its place and putting nil removes it. It is not a table, so table? is false for it.
• json/decode, yaml/decode and yaml/decode-all take an optional ordered argument after nils; when truthy, objects and mappings come back as omaps in the order written. json/encode and yaml/encode write an omap in its own order, so a decode and encode round trip keeps the author's key order. Without the argument both behave as before: json/decode and json/encode still run spork's own code for anything that holds no omap.
• chirp --changelog prints this file, and chirp help read changelog reads it from the help.
• Release notes include the release's section of this file.
