#Changelog

What changed for people who use chirp, newest first; the binary carries this file so it can be read offline.

#Unreleased

Released 2026-10-28.

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.

Released 2026-10-25.

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.

Released 2026-10-24.

sqlite3, bindings to an embedded SQLite with FTS5 full-text search, and tomlin, a TOML parser.
chirp help: offline help inside the binary. chirp help query '<fts5 query>' searches the help topics and the docstrings of every bundled module and of Janet's core; chirp help read <id> prints a result in full.
chirp self-update replaces the binary with the latest release, after checking the release's SHA256SUMS against its Ed25519 signature SHA256SUMS.sig with a key built into chirp. --check only reports; a build whose version carries a suffix such as -dev refuses unless --force is given.
Code piped to chirp, or given as chirp -, runs as a script.

The bundled spork-https client sends User-Agent: chirp/<version> when the request sets none, and honors :tls-opts {:ca "ca.pem"}, which jsec's client otherwise ignores.
Bare chirp with a pipe as stdin no longer starts a REPL: there is no banner, prompt or echoed value, and a failing script shows in the exit status.

0.1.0 cannot self-update; install 0.2.0 by hand once.

Released 2026-10-24.

First release: an unofficial build of Janet that adds TLS and an HTTPS client and server to a single binary.

Static binaries for linux-x64, linux-arm64 (static musl, any distribution), macos-arm64 and windows-x64.
Janet, spork (including spork/zip), jsec TLS and DTLS with a statically linked OpenSSL 3, and spork-https, bundled so every module imports with nothing on disk.
TLS trust: SSL_CERT_FILE if set, otherwise the first system CA bundle found in the usual Linux and macOS locations. chirp --version shows which one.
Reproducible builds: CI builds every target twice and publishes only when both hashes match.
SHA256SUMS, a GitHub build-provenance attestation for every asset, and a NOTICES-<target>.txt with the license texts of everything linked into that binary.
--version and the REPL banner say the build is unofficial and not a Janet release.

Windows has no CA bundle file, so HTTPS there needs SSL_CERT_FILE pointing at a PEM bundle.
