  redundant. If you need to take a snapshot of the current query results,

miniSphere 4.5.6

minisphere 4.5.6 is a maintenance release in the 4.5.x release series. This release reverts the switch to TypeScript in 4.5.5 as the change unacceptably degraded the Sphere Studio debugging experience. (note: TypeScript support is still planned, but is being postponed for miniSphere 5.0.)

• Improves for...of iteration for from() queries. Only the values will now
  be enumerated, rather than key/value pairs.
• Reverts to Babel as the default ES6 transpiler pending source map support.
• Fixes a bug where a CommonJS module without a trailing newline and with a
  C++-style comment (//) on the last line causes require() to throw an
  erroneous SyntaxError.

• Adds from.iterable() for querying ES6 iterables.
• Renames the Cell "transpile" module to "compiler" and makes transpile() a
  named export.
