| excerpt: Today, we're releasing version 0.71 of Nu. | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| # Nushell 0.71 | ||
|
|
||
| Nushell, or Nu for short, is a new shell that takes a modern, structured approach to your commandline. It works seamlessly with the data from your filesystem, operating system, and a growing number of file formats to make it easy to build powerful commandline pipelines. | ||
|
|
||
| Today, we're releasing version 0.71 of Nu. This release includes lots of overall polish. | ||
|
|
||
| <!-- more --> | ||
|
|
||
| # Where to get it | ||
|
|
||
| Nu 0.71 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.71.0) or from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/nu). If you have Rust installed you can install it using `cargo install nu`. | ||
|
|
||
| If you want all the built-in goodies, such as support for dataframes and SQLite databases, you can install it via `cargo install nu --features=extra`. | ||
|
|
||
| As part of this release, we also publish a set of optional plugins you can install and use with Nu. To install, use `cargo install nu_plugin_<plugin name>`. | ||
|
|
||
| # Themes of this release | ||
|
|
||
| ## New `++` operator (merelymyself) | ||
|
|
||
| In this release, you can now use the [`++` operator to append lists together](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6766). | ||
|
|
||
| For example, you can combine two lists into a new lists made up of the both lists: | ||
|
|
||
| ```shell | ||
| > [1, 2] ++ [3, 4] | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| _Note: Currently, this operator cannot be used to join two tables. This functionality is still being worked on and will likely be present in the next version._ | ||
|
|
||
| ## Improved consistency across commands and types | ||
|
|
||
| Nushell continues improve quality of the language and shell with a set of consistency improvements in this release. These include: | ||
|
|
||
| * More [iterating filter commands](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6951) now support the `$in` variable consistently (webbedspace) | ||
|
|
||
| * Lists [now support `upsert`](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6932) (fdncred) | ||
|
|
||
| * `merge` can now also [operate on records](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6919) (webbedspace) | ||
|
|
||
| * `str substring` can [take ranges](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6867) (rgwood) | ||
|
|
||
| * `from` and `to` now [show help info](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6856) (rgwood) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Right prompts can now be on the last line (nibon7) | ||
|
|
||
| Previously the right prompt appeared only on the same line where the user input started. Now you can choose to [place the right prompt part on the last line of user input](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6781). | ||
| This feature is not enabled by default, you can enable it using the `config nu` command to modify the config.nu file, just set `render_right_prompt_on_last_line` to true: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| let-env config { | ||
| render_right_prompt_on_last_line : true | ||
| ... | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Default | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Right prompt at bottom | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| ## Configuring the default value viewer via `display_output` hook (perbothner) | ||
|
|
||
| You're now able to configure a new hook, [called `display_output`](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6915), which will become the default way that you view data. | ||
|
|
||
| Using this, you can for example, use `table --expand` to always see fully expanded tables. | ||
|
|
||
| If your terminal supports it, you can this to render a more full-featured output. For example, DomTerm could be used by setting the `display_output` hook to: `to html --partial --no-color | domterm hcat`, sending html to the terminal to be rendered when displaying values. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Updated PR Review Process | ||
|
|
||
| Recently, we have been fortunate to see a rise in submitted pull requests (PRs) and we are super grateful for this growing desire to improve Nushell. | ||
| Unfortunately, in some cases, a well-intended PR does not match the direction Nushell is going, forcing us to close it which leads to wasted time and effort. | ||
| To help focus PRs in the future, we kindly ask potential contributors to first reach out to us before making a substantial change to Nushell, especially if the change will affect user experience. | ||
| We updated our [contributing guide](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) as well as the PR template to reflect this policy. | ||
| To summarize: | ||
| 1. If you want to make some change to Nushell that is more involved than simple bug-fixing, please go to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/NtAbbGn) or a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/new/choose) and chat with some core team members and/or other contributors about it. | ||
| 2. After getting a green light from the core team, implement the feature, open a pull request (PR) and write a full description of the change. | ||
| 3. If your PR includes any use-facing features (such as adding a flag to a command), clearly list them in the PR description. | ||
| 4. Then, core team members and other regular contributors will review the PR and suggest changes. | ||
| 5. When we all agree, the PR will be merged. | ||
| 6. If your PR includes any user-facing features, make sure the changes are also reflected in [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged. | ||
| 7. Congratulate yourself, you just improved Nushell! :-) | ||
|
|
||
| We hope the new policy will help us make the PR review process smoother. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Completion actions now more familiar (dandavison) | ||
|
|
||
| We've also recently improved how completions work in Nushell to feel closer to how other shells work. Specifically: | ||
|
|
||
| * Completion goes "as far as possible". So, the entire word if there's a unique completion, or else up to the shared prefix of possible completions. | ||
| * Removes the quick completion behavior whereby a word was completed automatically as soon as the input came to have a unique completion. | ||
| * Tab now completes instead of selecting the next menu item (this can be configured) | ||
|
|
||
| # Breaking changes | ||
|
|
||
| - New `--force (-f)` flag for the `mv` command. This change alters `mv` default behavior. By default overwriting existing files is now prevented (You can use `alias mv = mv -f` in you config to get the old defaults back). ([#6904](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6904)) | ||
| - The column name for the command name in `$nu.scope.commands` has been changed from `command` to `name`. Thus, `$nu.scope.commands | where name =~ zip` would give you specific command info. ([#7007](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7007)) | ||
| - The `str distance` command now directly returns an `Int` instead of a record `{"distance": <Int>}` ([#6963](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6963)) | ||
| - The argument order of `format filesize` was made consistent with other commands that accept a `CellPath` to specify fields that should be affected by it. Now the string specifying the format is the first positional argument and the cell path is specified in the following positional argument(s). ([#6879]https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6879) | ||
| - The `--perf` flag for Nu was removed as part of an effort to simplify diagnostics logging [#6834](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/6834) | ||
|
|
||
| # Next Steps | ||
|
|
||
| We've drafted a version of the [design philosophy for 0.80](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/pull/656), and would love to get your feedback. If you'd like to become part of the effort, please [join the discord](https://discord.gg/NtAbbGn). | ||
