## Upgrade from V2
|
||||
If you've been using v2 and want/need to upgrade, checkout the [upgrade guide](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/upgrading-from-v2).
|
||||
Simple Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
yq e '.a.b | length' f1.yml f2.yml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade from V3
|
||||
If you've been using v3 and want/need to upgrade, checkout the [upgrade guide](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v4.x/upgrading-from-v3).
|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues / Missing Features
|
||||
- `yq` attempts to preserve comment positions and whitespace as much as possible, but it does not handle all scenarios (see https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/tree/v3 for details)
|
||||
- You cannot (yet) select multiple paths/keys from the yaml to be printed out (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/issues/287)
