Lots of them. New table designs, new file formats, lots of new commands, improvements to error reporting, plugins (in [C++](https://github.com/lefticus/nu_plugin_calc), [Go](https://vsoch.github.io/2019/nushell-plugin-golang/), [Python](https://github.com/vsoch/nushell-plugin-python), and [Ruby](https://github.com/andrasio/nu-plugin/tree/master/examples)), new colors, support for streaming tables, vi mode, moved to the stable Rust compiler, login shell support, recycle bin support, starship.rs support, fuzzy matching, duration and date comparison, ranges, improved autocomplete, and a bunch of internal improvements to make way for 2020. - Thanks to all the reports, PRs, and help debugging we've made a ton of progress in making Nu more stable and complete ## What's ahead? That said, it's "[def early days](https://twitter.com/yoshuawuyts/status/1210367651354161152?s=20)" for Nu, as one recent user put it. We couldn't agree more. It's not _quite_ ready for people to use as their everyday shell. Things we're working on in 2020 to make it possible for everyone to use Nu in their day-to-day work: - Stability fixes! We'll be working hard to make Nu rock solid. - Aliases, variables, functions, scripts - Better integration with the native OS - Improved line editing - A better motto (lots of people confused about what "Github-era" means) In short, it's been a lot of fun, a lot of work, and we met some new friends along the way. A very big "thanks!" to all our contributors this year! ## Nushell repo ```shell > fetch https://api.github.com/repos/nushell/nushell/stats/contributors | get author | sort-by login | get login ────┬─────────────────── # │ <value> ────┼─────────────────── 0 │ Aloso 1 │ BatmanAoD 2 │ BradyBromley 3 │ BurNiinTRee 4 │ Detegr 5 │ DrSensor 6 │ Flare576 7 │ GuillaumeGomez 8 │ JesterOrNot 9 │ JonnyWalker81 10 │ Paradiesstaub
