+Access the q website [here](http://harelba.github.io/q).
Main features:
* Seamless multi-table SQL support, including joins. filenames are just used instead of table names (use - for stdin)
* Automatic column name and column type detection (Allows working more naturally with the data)
* Full encoding support (input, output and query)
-Version `1.4.0` is out and contains the following improvements:
-* 2.5x speed increase for large files - Thanks [@Gasol](https://github.com/Gasol)!
-* Output header support (based on the query's SELECTed columns/aliases)
-* Additional control over query and output encodings
-* Bug fixes (see [change log](doc/CHANGELOG.markdown) for full details)
