A section we have added to the changelog is the json entity diff. This enumerates the json entity types that have been added to the game since the last release.
To generate this diff:
Check out the previous release:
git checkout 0.E
Generate lists of json entities with jq:
jq -s -f tools/json_tools/jq/enumerate_json_entities.jq $(find data/json -name "*.json" | grep -v obsolete) > json_types_0.E
jq -s -f tools/json_tools/jq/enumerate_json_entities.jq $(find data/mods -name "*.json" | grep -v obsolete) > json_mod_types_0.E
Check out current master:
git checkout master
Generate lists of json entities with jq:
jq -s -f tools/json_tools/jq/enumerate_json_entities.jq $(find data/json -name "*.json" | grep -v obsolete) > json_types_0.F
jq -s -f tools/json_tools/jq/enumerate_json_entities.jq $(find data/mods -name "*.json" | grep -v obsolete) > json_mod_types_0.F
Generate diffs between the corresponding enumerations capturing the type headers and just the added entity ids.
diff -U 10000 json_types_0.E json_types_0.F | grep "\(^. \"type\"\)\|\(^+ \+\".*\",\)" > json_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F
diff -U 10000 json_mod_types_0.E json_mod_types_0.F | grep "\(^. \"type\"\)\|\(^+ \+\".*\",\)" > json_mod_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F
Run this goofy script to just list the type headers and append the count of added entities after each line.
paste <(cut json_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F -d : -f 3) <(cut -d : -f 1 json_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F | awk 'NR == 1{old = $1; next} {print $1 - old - 1; old = $1}') > json_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F_with_counts
paste <(cut json_mod_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F -d : -f 3) <(cut -d : -f 1 json_mod_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F | awk 'NR == 1{old = $1; next} {print $1 - old - 1; old = $1}') > json_mod_types_diff_0.E_to_0.F_with_counts
Then reformat into a human-readable summary.
