--- title: Nushell 0.39 author: The Nu Authors author_site: https://twitter.com/nu_shell author_image: https://www.nushell.sh/blog/images/nu_logo.png excerpt: Today, we're releasing 0.39 of Nu. This release is a bugfix release of 0.38. --- # Nushell 0.39 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 0.39 of Nu. This release is a bugfix release of 0.38.  # Where to get it Nu 0.39 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.39.0) 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 goodies, you can install `cargo install nu --features=extra`. As part of this release, we also publish a set of plugins you can install and use with Nu. To install, use `cargo install nu_plugin_<plugin name>`. # What's New - History file is now removed when the history is cleared (fdncred) - HTML selector has a regression fixed (lucassmmg) - Unused dependencies were removed (lucassmmg) - Updated clippy warnings were fixed (sophiajt) # Engine-q progress You'll notice that this release is pretty light, only a set of fixes on 0.38. This is because our energy is now largely focused on engine-q. We're excited to get this in front of you. Just to tease a little of what will be possible, this week we added support for processing streams in parallel in engine-q using a new `par-each` command. We'll talk more about this as it develops. # Looking forward We're excited about what the new engine changes will bring in terms of performance, correctness, and new capabilities.
