VisiData v2.9: Windows, windows, and more windows
This release has about 6 months of development in it, including many bugfixes, improvements, and a few experimental features. Here are the highlights:
- new confirm dialog window (press y to accept; Enter no longer required)
- new command addcol-window bound to w to create a new column with a list of values "around" the current row
- new formatter attribute on column (and options.disp_formatter) to set the format for both display and text saving. Can be generic, python, json (and it's also extensible)
- support for standard paths for config file and support dirs (XDG and otherwise)
- new loaders for Apache Arrow (IPC and streaming) and parquet formats
- browse remote .zip URLs and extract files from them without downloading the whole archive
- by popular demand, we've decided to invert the default scroll wheel direction! If you liked how it was before, you can set options.scroll_incr = 3
- and a couple things to make it easier for Windows users
There's a lot to love in this release of VisiData; the above is only a partial list. See the official CHANGELOG for more details.
