This week in Nushell #294

Published Friday, 2025-04-11

Highlights

@LoicRiegel continues to improve datetime commands with both some fixes as well as new features. Thanks to this work, a datetime can now be constructed (and round-tripped) from a record.
And also thanks to @LoicRiegel we have a new command in the mix as well - date from-human now replaces the former ability of into datetime to parse human-language date "descriptions" such as "tomorrow" and, err, "overmorrow"?
Another week, and yet more new Polars commands - Thanks @pyz4 for polars replace-time-zone! And @ayax79 for polars into-schema
Cool! @Kissaki added a new BSON plugin in the awesome_nu repo! Thank you!
And thanks to 0x4D5352 for a new AeroSpace completion in nu_scripts!
In a rare update to nufmt, @AucaCoyan added a warning to the README. Wait - how dare you? Oh, okay, that's a good call. Thank you!
Attention all time travelers, if you brought an exabyte drive with you from the future, Nushell will now parse df exabyte values correctly. Also, please be kind enough to share a few of the upcoming (for the rest of us who are still temporally-challenged) football scores while you are here. This will help support Nushell development.

All of the nitty-gritty (or at least links) on these changes, and more, below!
