0.2.4

0.2.4 is a small release following 0.2.3 a few days ago. The 0.2.4 release includes:

• Enrich our CLI, adding commands to get different stages of the compilation process (@aljazerzen , #863)
• Fix multiple take n statements in a query, leading to duplicate proxy columns in generated SQL (@charlie-sanders )
• Fix BigQuery quoting of identifiers in SELECT statements (@max-sixty )
• Some internal changes — reorganize top-level functions (@aljazerzen ), add a workflow to track our rust compilation time (@max-sixty ), simplify our simple prql-to-sql tests (@max-sixty )

Thanks to @ankane, prql-compiler is now available from homebrew core; brew install prql-compiler¹.

Reiterating our plans from the 0.2.3 release notes:

From here, we're planning to continue squashing bugs (albeit more minor than those in this release), adding some features like union, while working on bigger issues such as type-inference.

We're also going to document and modularize the compiler further. It's important that we give more people an opportunity to contribute to the guts of PRQL, especially given the number and enthusiasm of contributions to project in general — and it's not that easy to do so at the moment. While this is ongoing if anyone has something they'd like to work on in the more difficult parts of the compiler, let us know on GitHub or Discord, and we'd be happy to work together on it.

1. we still need to update docs and add a release workflow for this: #866 ↩
