v5.3

Caching has been vastly improved in this release due to a new sqlite3-backed persistent cache.db. There have also been some improvements to [f1] help pages

Breaking Changes

None

v5.3.7000

Features

• None

Bug Fixes

• object builder %{} was parsing bareword null as "null" (string with null) instead of a null value (issue #781)

• variables were being tokenised in is-null parameters instead of being passed by reference (issue #781)

v5.3.6000

Features

• Copyright messages update for 2024

Bug Fixes

• ANSI escape code for string terminations was updated to incorrect values in preview release. This has been fixed here

v5.3.5000

Features

• new runtime flag for managing cache: --flush-cache

Bug Fixes

• Windows, Linux and Darwin (macOS) now default to GCO-less builds of sqlite3

• ANSI escape code for window title changes changed from xterm-specific standard (BELL terminated) to ANSI standard (ST terminated)

• integrations and default profile scripts have all be rewritten to follow latest Murex code style best practices

v5.3.4000

Features

• new runtime flags for managing cache: --cache and --trim-cache

Bug Fixes

• cache: sqlite3 would lock cache.db, breaking caching when multiple murex sessions were open at a time

• cache: cache.db wasn't getting set in config correctly (should have been enabled by default but was disabled by default instead)

v5.3.3000

Features

• persistent cache added using sqlite3 backend. This cache is optional however it is enabled by default. You can disable it by placing the following into your .murex_profile:

  config set shell cache.db-enabled false
  

• new autocomplete directive for [f1] previews: DynamicPreview

• dynamic previews added for git and aws

Bug Fixes

• export now supports whitespace like an expression (issue #679)

• bugfix: structures in variables would sometimes output base64 encoded values when converting those structures to arrays (issue #768)

• some ReadArrayWithType() calls weren't handling the returned error (if there were an error). They're now all surfacing errors correctly

• whats new message moved to shell Start()
