# Description This commit changes the `PROMPT_INDICATOR` and `PROMPT_INDICATOR_VI_NORMAL` in the default_env and sample_login files. It also changes its missing fallback in the prompt.rs file. This has the intention of making the default prompt friendlier when dealing with basic terminals that may not support displaying a huge range of the Unicode standard, or users who don't want to get out of their way to install custom fonts for their terminals. It's also nicer/more balanced on the eyes, to me, and brings it in line with the logo of nushell `nu>`. # User-Facing Changes New installations of nushell will have > as the default prompt indicator, and running `config reset` will also change it. This might be confusing for a few seconds, it could be minor enough that it just feels slightly off. Anyone who has, for some reason, unset the PROMPT_INDICATOR variable, or set it to $nothing, will also receive the `>` treatment. Users running on basic terminals (like cmd.exe on Windows 10) should no longer face font issues with the default basic prompt. # Drawbacks The Unicode arrow is pretty cool. And it predates many of us. Maybe it's worth keeping. One argument I could see, and mildly disagree with, is that it might make users lean towards installing a modern font for their terminal which will would have good consequences in the future.
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.
