    jq: update to 1.7.

    # 1.7

    Since the last stable release many things have happened:

    - jq now lives at <https://github.com/jqlang>

    Full commit log can be found at <https://github.com/jqlang/jq/compare/jq-1.6...jq-1.7> but here are some highlights:

    ## CLI changes

    - Make object key color configurable using `JQ_COLORS` environment variable. @itchyny @haguenau @ericpruitt #2703

      ```sh
      # this would make "field" bold yellow (`1;33`, the last value)
      $ JQ_COLORS="0;90:0;37:0;37:0;37:0;32:1;37:1;37:1;33" ./jq -n '{field: 123}'
      {
        "field": 123
      }
      ```

    - Change the default color of null to Bright Black. @itchyny #2824
    - Respect `NO_COLOR` environment variable to disable color output. See <https://no-color.org> for details. @itchyny #2728
    - Improved `--help` output. Now mentions all options and nicer order. @itchyny @wader #2747 #2766 #2799
    - Fix multiple issues of exit code using `--exit-code`/`-e` option. @ryo1kato #1697

      ```sh
      # true-ish last output value exits with zero
      $ jq -ne true ; echo $?
      true
      0
      # false-ish last output value (false and null) exits with 1
      $ jq -ne false ; echo $?
      false
      1
      # no output value exists with 4
      $ jq -ne empty ; echo $?
      4
      ```

    - Add `--binary`/`-b` on Windows for binary output. To get `\n` instead of `\r\n` line endings. @nicowilliams 0dab2b1
    - Add `--raw-output0` for NUL (zero byte) separated output. @asottile @pabs3 @itchyny #1990 #2235 #2684

      ```sh
      # will output a zero byte after each output
      $ jq -n --raw-output0 '1,2,3' | xxd
      00000000: 3100 3200 3300                           1.2.3.
      # can be used with xargs -0
      $ jq -n --raw-output0 '"a","b","c"' | xargs -0 -n1
      a
      b
      c
      $ jq -n --raw-output0 '"a b c", "d\ne\nf"' | xargs -0 printf '[%s]\n'
      [a b c]
      [d
      e
      f]
      # can be used with read -d ''
      $ while IFS= read -r -d '' json; do
      >   jq '.name' <<< "$json"
      > done < <(jq -n --raw-output0 '{name:"a b c"},{name:"d\ne\nf"}')
      "a b c"
      "d\ne\nf"
      # also it's an error to output a string containing a NUL when using NUL separator
      $ jq -n --raw-output0 '"\u0000"'
      jq: error (at <unknown>): Cannot dump a string containing NUL with --raw-output0 option
      ```

    - Fix assert crash and validate JSON for `--jsonarg`. @wader #2658
    - Remove deprecated `--argfile` option. @itchyny #2768
    - Enable stack protection. @nicowilliams #2801

    ## Language changes

    - Use decimal number literals to preserve precision. Comparison operations respects precision but arithmetic operations might truncate. @leonid-s-usov #1752

      ```sh
      # precision is preserved
      $ echo '100000000000000000' | jq .
      100000000000000000
      # comparison respects precision (this is false in JavaScript)
      $ jq -n '100000000000000000 < 100000000000000001'
      true
      # sort/0 works
      $ jq -n -c '[100000000000000001, 100000000000000003, 100000000000000004, 100000000000000002] | sort'
      [100000000000000001,100000000000000002,100000000000000003,100000000000000004]
      # arithmetic operations might truncate (same as JavaScript)
      $ jq -n '100000000000000000 + 10'
      100000000000000020
      ```

    - Adds new builtin `pick(stream)` to emit a projection of the input object or array. @pkoppstein #2656 #2779

      ```sh
      $ jq -n '{"a": 1, "b": {"c": 2, "d": 3}, "e": 4} | pick(.a, .b.c, .x)'
      {
        "a": 1,
        "b": {
          "c": 2
        },
        "x": null
      }
      ```

    - Adds new builtin `debug(msgs)` that works like `debug` but applies a filter on the input before writing to stderr. @pkoppstein #2710

      ```sh
      $ jq -n '1 as $x | 2 | debug("Entering function foo with $x == \($x)", .) | (.+1)'
      ["DEBUG:","Entering function foo with $x == 1"]
      ["DEBUG:",2]
      3
      $ jq -n '{a: 1, b: 2, c: 3} | debug({a, b, sum: (.a+.b)})'
      ["DEBUG:",{"a":1,"b":2,"sum":3}]
      {
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2,
        "c": 3
      }
      ```

    - Adds new builtin `scan($re; $flags)`. Was documented but not implemented. @itchyny #1961

      ```sh
      # look for pattern "ab" in "abAB" ignoring casing
      $ jq -n '"abAB" | scan("ab"; "i")'
      "ab"
      "AB"
      ```

    - Adds new builtin `abs` to get absolute value. This potentially allows the literal value of numbers to be preserved as `length` and `fabs` convert to float. @pkoppstein #2767
    - Allow `if` without `else`-branch. When skipped the `else`-branch will be `.` (identity). @chancez @wader #1825 #2481

      ```sh
      # convert 1 to "one" otherwise keep as is
      $ jq -n '1,2 | if . == 1 then "one" end'
      "one"
      2
      # behaves the same as
      $ jq -n '1,2 | if . == 1 then "one" else . end'
      "one"
      2
      # also works with elif
      $ jq -n '1,2,3 | if . == 1 then "one" elif . == 2 then "two" end
      "one"
      "two"
      3
      ```

    - Allow use of `$binding` as key in object literals. @nicowilliams 8ea4a55

      ```sh
      $ jq -n '"a" as $key | {$key: 123}'
      {
        "a": 123
      }
      # previously parentheses were needed
      $ jq -n '"a" as $key | {($key): 123}'
      {
        "a": 123
      }
      ```

    - Allow dot between chained indexes when using `.["index"]` @nicowilliams #1168

      ```sh
      $ jq -n '{"a": {"b": 123}} | .a["b"]'
      123
      # now this also works
      $ jq -n '{"a": {"b": 123}} | .a.["b"]'
      123
      ```

    - Allow dot for chained value iterator `.[]`, `.[]?` @wader #2650

      ```sh
      $ jq -n '{"a": [123]} | .a[]'
      123
      # now this also works
      $ jq -n '{"a": [123]} | .a.[]'
      123
      ```

    - Fix try/catch catches more than it should. @nicowilliams #2750
    - Speed up and refactor some builtins, also remove `scalars_or_empty/0`. @muhmuhten #1845
    - Now `halt` and `halt_error` exit immediately instead of continuing to the next input. @emanuele6 #2667
    - Fix issue converting string to number after previous convert error. @thalman #2400
    - Fix issue representing large numbers on some platforms causing invalid JSON output. @itchyny #2661
    - Fix deletion using assigning empty against arrays. @itchyny #2133

      ```sh
      # now this works as expected, filter out all values over 2 by assigning empty
      $ jq -c '(.[] | select(. >= 2)) |= empty' <<< '[1,5,3,0,7]'
      [1,0]
      ```

    - Allow keywords to be used as binding name in more places. @emanuele6 #2681
    - Allow using `nan` as NaN in JSON. @emanuele6 #2712
    - Expose a module's function names in `modulemeta`. @mrwilson #2837
    - Fix `contains/1` to handle strings with NUL. @nicowilliams 61cd6db
    - Fix `stderr/0` to output raw text without any decoration. @itchyny #2751
    - Fix `nth/2` to emit empty on index out of range. @itchyny #2674
    - Fix `implode` to not assert and instead replace invalid unicode codepoints. @wader #2646
    - Fix `indices/1` and `rindex/1` in case of overlapping matches in strings. @emanuele6 #2718
    - Fix `sub/3` to resolve issues involving global search-and-replace (gsub) operations. @pkoppstein #2641
    - Fix `significand/0`, `gamma/0` and `drem/2` to be available on macOS. @itchyny #2756 #2775
    - Fix empty regular expression matches. @itchyny #2677
    - Fix overflow exception of the modulo operator. @itchyny #2629
    - Fix string multiplication by 0 (and less than 1) to emit empty string. @itchyny #2142
    - Fix segfault when using libjq and threads. @thalman #2546
    - Fix constant folding of division and reminder with zero divisor. @itchyny #2797
    - Fix `error/0`, `error/1` to throw null error. @emanuele6 #2823
    - Simpler and faster `transpose`. @pkoppstein #2758
    - Simple and efficient implementation of `walk/1`. @pkoppstein #2795
    - Remove deprecated filters `leaf_paths`, `recurse_down`. @itchyny #2666
