Changelog 2022.8.4.dev1

Aug 4, 2022 • Anders Berkeman, Carl Drougge, and Sofia Hörberg

In your methods

Dataset.link_to_here() takes a rename={'old column name': 'new column name'} argument.

New method dataset_unbits.
- Converts bits32 columns to int64 and bits64 columns to number.
- Exists because the bits types will be removed in the next release.
New method dataset_rename_columns.
- Rename columns, like you can do with Dataset.link_to_here().
dataset_type now passes None-values through unchanged.
csvimport_zip can chain by_dict.
- Since dict arguments are now ordered, inside_filenames can be used to order your chain.

All boolean arguments to shell commands now have a corresponding off switch.
- E.g. --headers can be disabled with --no-headers, --ordered can be disabled with --not-ordered, --show-sliceno can be disabled with --dont-show-sliceno and so on. Short form -X has corresponding +X to disable.
The ax curl command is gone, it is no longer useful.
New command ax alias to list or expand aliases.
Aliases can contain ${ENV_VAR}.
ax job can show the source(s) used to build a job.
- --source shows all sources.
- --source-file shows specific files (matching a glob pattern).
ax grep takes a --lined switch to alternate colour of output lines.

Note: Python 2 is still supported, but will be unsupported soon.
