# Description - Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is brotli-compressed MessagePack. - The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin commands in the engine every time. - The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the plugin, even if commands were removed. - Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed # User-Facing Changes - The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell script. - The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first time, but not other plugin config files. - We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm` - `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help - New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm` # Tests + Formatting Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling. - 🟢 `toolkit fmt` - 🟢 `toolkit clippy` - 🟢 `toolkit test` - 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib` # After Submitting - [ ] Check for documentation changes - [ ] Definitely needs release notes
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
