Title: More Breaking Changes in Nushell: File Handling, Navigation, and Command Updates
Summary
This section outlines further breaking changes in Nushell, including the removal of `binaryview` and `textview`, dataframe renaming to `dfr`, changes to the `shells` command output, scoping of the `cd` command, updates to character settings for branching and segmentation, the current status of WASM support, limitations on the `enter` command, string to decimal conversion, renaming of the `pivot` command to `transpose`, changes to `term size` arguments, renaming of `selector` to `query web` and `xpath` to `query xml`, a change in the config directory name to `nushell`, modifications to the `nth` command (now `select`), and the integration of the `match` command into the `find` command.
