## Agenda
- [x] Anyone heard of problems on the 0.90.1 release (other than winget failing)? Should we go ahead and land the [0.90.2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11793) bump?
- [x] Catching upstream panics [#11699](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11699), [#11393](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11393), [#11720](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11720)
- Wrap panicking code into `catch_unwind()`?
- Wrap all command calls into `catch_unwind()`?
- Wrap entire Nushell into `catch_unwind()`?
- Did we use to have Miette for pretty backtraces? Maybe we could use something similar to reset the REPL in the case of panic?
- Fix panicking by not passing panicking inputs to the panicking crate
- not always possible / extremely difficult, see [#11720](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11720)
- Problematic dependencies tracking: [#11721](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11721)
- [x] PR landing flow to help compiling release notes
- Adding merged PRs to milestone? E.g., [#11718](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/11718)
- needs to be applied to _all_ merged PRs, otherwise not worth it
- Adding labels on PRs
- [x] Backticks [#17130](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/11713) - Is it time to move away from our backtick use case? [Discord conversaiton](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1203416025882693642)
- paths with spaces
- make this work? `^c:\program files (x86)\some\thing.exe`
- change backticks for raw strings? [darren's raw string pr 9956](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9956)
- add triple backticks for raw strings ala python's triple double quotes
- [x] Reedline History [# 741 - Remove duplicates from file-based history search](https://github.com/nushell/reedline/pull/741)
- Right now if you type...

    version
    ls
    help commands
    version
    ls
    help commands

- you get all of this stuff in your history
- This PR would remove having duplicates
- However if you go through the comments in the PR there is a counter argument by another committer that preserving all of your commands is important to them
- Thoughts on the way to go ?
- [ ] Sophia's availability

## Discussed Topics

### Release 0.90.1

No issues reported

### Panics

Let's wrap entire Nushell into catch_unwind(). We might need to pull out the Miette stuff and just use vanilla std::panic::catch_unwind().
Kubouch to talk with Jack/ayax79

Ed talked about some internal panics occuring. The new "fix" that doesn't exist yet should help with panics globally. Ed's issue has the panic label on it.

### Help organize PRs for release notes

Kubouch - Should we put PRs in a milestone to make things easier to make release notes?

We need to do something better because it's always a rush and difficult to compile.

Maybe if we did a better job labels to query on.

There are labels that start with `pr:`. So use these labels when the PR is landed and add the issue to the milestone.

### Backticks

All backtick words are bare words and can become strings.

## Reedline

Use sophia's special forgetting.

git stash drop
git add .
git status | something | else
git status
git commit -m 'something'
ls
git push
git status

`git s<tab>` shows `git status`
hitting up again shows `git status | something | else` but does not show the `git status` proceeding it.
