Fabric v0.4.2 release #

A couple of days ago we released Fabric v0.4.2. We’ve been working on this release for a while!

Simplified installation #

Users can now install Fabric on macOS using Homebrew with

brew install blackstork-io/tools/fabric

or run it in a Docker container with

docker run blackstorkio/fabric

See Install for more details.

New features #

• vars blocks replace data.inline blocks for inline data and add support for data mutations through JQ queries. The new syntax enables new powerful workflows — vars support variable overrides during referencing or in the child blocks, and support inheritance. See the docs for more details.
• publish blocks enable document dissemination. To rhyme with data sources, publishers deliver produced content to local or external document stores. In this release, Fabric only has local_file publisher but we’re planning on adding GitHub gists, Google Docs, Notion, and other destinations.

New data sources #

• Microsoft Sentinel incidents — microsoft_sentinel_incidents
• Snyk issues — snyk_issues
• data exposed over HTTP/HTTPS — http
• RSS/Atom feeds — rss
