## Notice for v4.x versions prior to 4.18.1
Since 4.18.1, yq's 'eval/e' command is the _default_ command and no longers needs to be specified.
Older versions will still need to specify 'eval/e'.
Similarly, '-' is no longer required as a filename to read from STDIN (unless reading from multiple files).
TLDR:
Prior to 4.18.1
```bash
cat file.yaml | yq e '.cool' -
```
4.18+
```bash
cat file.yaml | yq '.cool'
```
When merging multiple files together, `eval-all/ea` is still required to tell `yq` to run the expression again all the document at once.
