This is an enormous release, with lots of changes across all aspects of Nushell. --- _Before we begin, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine still continues to threaten lives, [here](https://war.ukraine.ua) are ways you can help._ # Nushell 0.60 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 a beta release of 0.60 of Nu. This is an enormous release, with lots of changes across all aspects of Nushell.  # Where to get it Nu 0.60 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.60.0) 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, you can install `cargo install nu --all-features`. 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>`. # Party! 🥳 It's here! 🎉🎉 We're excited to announce the first full release of Nushell using the new engine, new line editor, and so much more! # Skipping versions The first thing you'll notice is that we're skipping from version 0.44 to 0.60. This is on purpose, you didn't miss anything! Because of the number of changes, and the number of breaking changes, we wanted to let everyone know how much has changed by also making a big jump in the version number. Previous scripts will need to be updated, and you'll need to learn some of the new ways of doing things in Nushell to get back to your same level of comfort. Let's talk about the features new in this release. # Custom completions

Nushell 0.60 is released with significant changes and improvements. The release skips versions to emphasize the extent of the changes, requiring users to update scripts and learn new methods. The release includes new features and is available as pre-built binaries or from crates.io.
