* Add test for passing binary data through externals This change adds an ignored test to confirm that binary data is passed correctly between externals to be enabled in a later commit along with the fix. To assist in platform agnostic testing of binary data a couple of additional testbins were added to allow testing on `Value::Binary` inside `ExternalStream`. * Support binary data to stdin of run-external Prior to this change, any pipeline producing binary data (not detected as string) then feed into an external would be ignored due to run-external only supporting `Value::String` on stdin. This change adds binary stdin support for externals allowing something like this for example: 〉^cat /dev/urandom | ^head -c 1MiB | ^pv -b | ignore 1.00MiB This would previously output `0.00 B [0.00 B/s]` due to the data not being pushed to stdin at each stage.
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.
