And, of course, a few fun features along the way. --- # Nushell 0.4.0 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 happy to announce the 0.4.0 release of Nushell. The [0.4.0 release](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.4.0) marks a continually maturing shell that is now starting to show signs of stability. And, of course, a few fun features along the way. # Where to get it Nu 0.4.0 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.4.0) or from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/nu). If you have Rust installed you can install it using `cargo +beta install nu` (or if you want all the features `cargo +beta install nu --all-features`). # What's new ## New Colors (wycats)

New colors! With 0.4.0, we're adding some new colors to show off different types of the command, where errors might be happening, and if the command is internal or external. The coloring is just the tip of the iceberg, as it were, and builds from a reworking of the parser to make it more accurate, more stable, and more feature-complete. ## Streaming table (sophiajt)

Nushell, a modern shell that takes a structured approach to the command line, announces its 0.4.0 release. This release marks continued maturation and growing stability, accompanied by new features. Users can obtain Nu 0.4.0 as pre-built binaries or via crates.io. The update includes new colors to differentiate command types, highlight errors, and indicate internal versus external commands, reflecting a parser rework for improved accuracy and feature completeness. Additionally, a streaming table feature has been introduced, enhancing the user experience. The combination of these improvements represents a significant step forward in Nushell's development, offering users a more robust and visually informative command-line environment. These updates aim to streamline workflows and improve overall usability for both new and experienced users of the shell, and highlight Nushell's commitment to providing a modern and user-friendly command-line experience.
