GNU Datamash 1.7 released

[Assaf Gordon]

This is to announce datamash-1.7, a new release.

Datamash is a command-line program which performs basic numeric,textual
and statistical operations on input textual data files.

----

This release introduces a new program: decorate

decorate(1) works in tandem with sort(1), enabling sorting by
non-standard ordering, e.g. IPv4, IPv6, roman numerals, etc.


  $ printf "%s\n" C V III IX XI | decorate -k1,1r:roman
  C
  XI
  IX
  V
  III

  $ printf "%s\n" 1.2.3.14 1.2.1.4 1.2.3.4 | decorate -k1,1:ipv4
  1.2.1.4
  1.2.3.4
  1.2.3.14

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the

and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

gpg --verify datamash-1.7.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 0A11B61D3657B901

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
